Healthy Eggnog Shake

'Tis the season for eggnog.....and calories! Although this one you won't have to feel guilty about! I saw this recipe on a blog I follow. I gave it a whirl and DELISH!!

1/2 c. cottage cheese or greek yogurt

1-2 scoops whey vanilla protein powder

1/2 c. water or milk

2 Tbsp. sugar-free vanilla pudding, dry

2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp. rum extract

2 tbsp. sweetener of choice (I like Splenda or Truvia)

1 trays worth of ice

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend! Top with Reddi-Whip. Great tasting, healthy holiday treat! I let mine sit in the fridge for a few hours and the ice melted- tasted JUST like eggnog :)
