Introducing the 'Notnog'! Festive favourite veganized with the same creamy texture and winter spices. Perfect, healthy beverage to get you in the spirit!
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup flaked almond (soaked overnight or at least an hour with hot water)
  • ½ cup coconut cream (top layer of the coconut milk tin)
  • 2 cups oat or almond milk
  • ¼ cup dates*
  • 1tbsp coconut or brown sugar
  • few drops of vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of ginger
  • pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Firstly drain the almonds and the dates (if you soaked them)
  2. Place all the ingredients in a blender and let it so its magic**
  3. Blend until it is completely creamy and no lumps
  4. Serve immediately with an ice cube or bottle it up and use within 2-3 days.
Notes
* If you are not using Medjool dates, or your dates are hard and very dry, soak them overnight or in warm water for about 30 minutes to an hour
** The coconut milk tends to solidify when paired with very cold ingredients and is left blending for too long. If this happens, pour about a tbsp. of boiling water! Sorted.
