Why not real eggnog? It's not like you drink it every day. Unless, of
course, you have a dairy allergy, which I don't.

The only thing I like soy in is "soy sauce". :-)

Trust me.. it isn't anything like scary soymilk. Honest.

good to know, thanks.
I like to keep chocolate soy milk around to splash in my coffee now and again,
I bet the nog would be pretty damned tasty.

by your mom's house.

No big reason why Soy Nog over egg, because as you say you don't (nor I)
drink it that much. But I think I like it better than egg nog because it
is a bit lighter, thinner... and it is tasty as all get out! I was
turned on to it a couple of years ago when they were giving out samples
in the commissary. I had never tried soy milk before and found this Silk
Nog to be incredibly tasty. I even tried plain soy milk based on liking
this stuff so much. I HATED it. This is different.
I also appreciate it being lower in calories, fats and all that too. But
that isn't my main focus.
oh yeah... 1/2 cup=2 WW points, Wayne

I troed some "light" lower-fat eggnog last year, but was very disappointed
that it was lighter and thinner. I guess I simply have a preference for
terribly unhealthy, heavy eggnog. I haven't calculated the WW points for
the regular stuff yet, but I can just imagine that one portion equals a
whole meal's worth of points, or more. :-(

When we first started WW early in the year, I tried some soy milk, but just
couldn't gag it down.

I've never tried it in coffee; I'll have to give it a -- er, shot
(though I usually take my coffee black).

The nice thing about the Silk Nog is that it has the mouthfeel of
regular eggnog without all the fat. The not-so-nice thing is that,
for the last couple of years, WhiteWave (producers) have not been
able to keep up with demand. So, if you wanna try it, try it soon!
