I just finished mine! I made it with 3 eggs, l0% cream (like coffee cream), a bit of vanilla, splenda (2 packets) and crushed ice...It was SOOOOOOOO good!!! I am so going to make this on a regular basis!!! Thank you thank you to the person who made this up!!!

I would so have to use some pumpkin or allspice in mine to be able to drink it. I hate plain eggnog. I am going to try it today though.

Had one for breakfast this morning and it was great! Thank you so much!!!! I thought if I ate another egg I was going to lose my breakfast!
besides I've always been fond of drinking my breakfast!

Just made this. I used 3 eggs, my daily allowance of heavy cream, 2 packets of splenda, some almond extract and pumpkin spice. OMG. I went to make it and my bf looked at me like i was crazy and said, "Are you going to drink that"? I laughed and said what do you think eggnog is made from? So had him try it afterward and he was like hmmm.. pretty good and checper than buying it. I am sooooooo hooked. I will be trying different flavors with the Capella Flavor drops. No cals, no carbs, and no fat. mmmmmm cheesecake eggnog here i come.

I am not sure if I would be allowed to link the site for the Capella Flavor Drops here or not so I would just go to a search engine like google or excite and type in Capella Flavor Drops or you can run the whole name together with no space and add .com to the end to get to the site. Right now they have 200 flavors and they do make a difference.

How cool!
I honestly feel a little ridiculous with how excited I am about it.
it really makes me feel that I can actually stick with it this time.
it gives me a little ray of hope!

cheap, quick, easy, fast to eat, and yummy!!!

I have been doing this for a while... never thought of sharing it... so glad for this post... becuase all of us atkineers should know about this...

I add some variations because I get bored pretty easy... and for me this has meant a world of difference because I don't like eating breakfast... and we all know it is soooo important to start the day off really well by eating and getting our metabolism going right away. I actually have everything set to make my shake the night before... I can practically do it in my sleep.

I have added some or all of the following...

a quarter tsp of instant coffee ( nescafe french vanilla)

1/2 tsp cocoa powder

I always add a tsp of ground flax seed... it does make it not so smooth but if you add icecubes... you can hardly tell and I really like getting some fibre this way... you can try psyllium but I hate the stuff I swear it smells like bubble gum

cinnamon is a great addition... i have used as much as 1 tsp less is better, but there are lots of good health benefits to cinnamon

i have added a tbsp of almond butter... or peanut butter... its a bit gross because I ddon't like peanut butter but I was experimenting.

i have added a drop of peppermint oil

i have used sugar free maple syrup


I always add at least 6 icecubes and pour the whole thing into a frosty cup... I swear its just like a milk shake

I typically use 3 eggs...and I am good right through till lunch... there are a bunch of benefits to consuming raw eggs... once you add the cream ( which I water down)
you hardly know they are raw eggs.

OH I also add a splash of good quality omega 3 oils... for those of us who need to remember to keep our fat intakes high. You don't even know you are taking in oil.

I have added coconut oil, but it solidifies when the temp is lowered by the ice cubes so it changes the consitency, BUT if you are a believer that Coconut oil is a good thing... and if you are like me and have a really difficult time taking it... I got used to the texture of the oil in the shake.

Anyways... I am babbling. GREAT POST!

nooo it sounds horrid to me too! haha. i read through this thread with a sense of horrified fascination, feeling completely nauseous! (literally!) i cannot imagine eating a raw egg! i love eggs and eat 3 every morning but i practically overcook them bc i can't handle the thought of eating a raw egg!

maybe i will try this recipe tomorrow.

I didn't know these existed Mirya, thanks for the hint. I want to try them all, but not for $6 bucks each. I wonder if they sell them around here.
