In the past, I’ve reviewed different brands of organic eggnog, including Horizon Organic Lowfat Eggnog and Clover Organic Eggnog. Both are delicious and rich, but they’re dairy products.

If you avoid milk, there’s a new kid on the block: Vitasoy Holly Nog, which is lactose-, gluten-, cholesterol- and dairy-free.

Holly Nog has a fraction of the fat of traditional dairy eggnog, but it’s a nice holiday treat. Spiced and naturally flavored, it’s a creamy, smooth drink with a balance of cinnamon and nutmeg notes—and only 120 calories per 8-oz. serving (and 4 grams of soy protein).

Enjoy the recipe we posted last year for Spiced Coffee Eggnog. Have a safe holiday!

The company’s certified-organic nondairy Peppermint Chocolate soy beverage is ideal for seasonal entertaining, as well as a special kick-off-your-shoes afternoon treat. Free of dairy, lactose and gluten, it has no cholesterol.

Peppermint Chocolate, combining the sweetness of premium chocolate with refreshing mint, may be served warm or chilled. An 8-oz. serving has 140 calories and 4 g protein. Geared toward health-conscious consumers, it’s a great alternative for those who are lactose-intolerant, vegan or unwilling to indulge in high-fat drinks.

According to Vitasoy Senior Marketing Manager Jayne Minigell, Peppermint Chocolate is a “premium, organic nondairy alternative with extended appeal from fall through winter.” You’ll find it in the shelf-stable (nonrefrigerated) soymilk aisle, beginning this month, at your local natural and organic food store.

And if you haven’t checked out Vitasoy’s Green Tea Soymilk, you’re missing out on a unique product. Rich and creamy, it’s made from organic soybeans blended with premium Japanese green tea.
