Low-Sodium Egg Nog

Warning: There is avocado in this recipe.

And this is not a warning to turn around and run away from this egg nog. This is a warning that socks will be blown straight off by the creamy lusciousness that is this sodium-friendly drink.

Give it a literal whirl tonight, tomorrow, anytime to curb the rich cravings of traditional eggnog without all the sugar and sodium.

And I can confirm, with my own gazillion tastebuds, that this is a total crowd pleaser.

Bottoms up. Drink on.
