Any idea when they start hitting the shelves? I know there are probably not too many varieties, but when should I expect to see them in stores? I checked last weekend and Silk's version wasn't out yet, but several dairy ones were.

I saw Silk eggnog at my Kroger grocery store yesterday.

One Word:

VitaSoy Holly Nog

(OK, that was three words, but you get the idea..)

I posted somewhere else the other day about how Silk Nog was out. I bought 2 cartons. I got mine at Kroger.

Hmm I need to get some and spike it with some rum! Also, you can make your own.

 

[Quincy]

thanks guys, I'll be sure to keep my eyes open as I venture out tomorrow!!!

I have a few recipes of my own that maybe I'll try once I go back home for winter break.

I think the silk nog is much better than omni nog.It has a lighter

consistency and the taste is not as sticky-sweet.

Silk Nog tastes like bottled happiness.

I've never had egg nogg. From this thread I can guess the answer, but is it worth attempting to make?

 

[VeggieMath]

I have made some. I found the recipe on the web. I buy sugar in the raw. It's on the webite on their boxes etc... I really liked it. I have never seen silk nog. Last year I did try Trader Joe's egg nog - the one I made was much better. I believe the recipe was called eggless egg nog. It took a dish, but I only made as much (or little) as I needed/wanted and seldom made more. You do have to make it ahead of time unless you want it warm. That way you can refregerate it and make it cold again.

Let me know if you have problems finding it. I know I printed it off and I have the recipe at home if anyone needs it.

Preach it!

I've never had non-vegan egg nog before. I've tried Silk Nog, though. I don't like it, it's too sweet, and it has a funny taste. Maybe I'll like it spiked ^o^

It's really thick. You have to chew it.

I was never a fan of eggnog...but really like the silk nog..cannot wait for my local store to get it.

 

[sallyomally]

It's good stuff.

 

[Quincy]

still no egg nog at Stop & Shop as of yesterday...

is that something that Trader Joe's would be more likely to carry?
