You may not want to drink this smoothie until after you’ve had your Christmas meal. It’s very filling and if you drink too much you won’t have room for your regular meal.

Ingredients:

whole milk – 2 pints
eggs – 6
sugar – 50 grams (caster sugar)
vanilla pod – 1
bananas – 2
cranberries (optional)
cinnamon (for garnishment)

Directions:

Over low heat cook the first 4 ingredients (whole milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla pod); while cooking stir with a wooden spoon. Be sure to stir constantly and do not let the mixture boil (it will ruin the nog).

Let the nog cool then add two bananas or a handful of cranberries and smoothe in a Vita-Mix blender.

To serve pour into a glass and sprinkle with cinnamon.
