Cranberry Nog
 
 
THM Fuel Pull, sugar free, low carb, low fat, gluten/egg free | Use carton coconut milk in place of the almond milk for a nut-free version. Use collagen in place of the whey protein for a dairy-free version. (The drink won't be quite as creamy.)

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Heat the almond milk, water, and cranberries together until they are your desired temperature. (I do this in a huge mug in the microwave for 3 minutes.)
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Taste, increase the sweetener and/or extracts if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
*I use Konjac Foods brand glucomannan (from Amazon or Netrition). Different brands can vary in strength, so if you're using a stronger brand like the Trim Healthy Mama brand and think the drink is slimy, try decreasing the amount of glucomannan. (Or just learn to embrace it and enjoy it for all its health and weight loss benefits.) This amount in the brand I use is not slimy but does make the drink fairly thick and foamy. It's so filling!
-You could add some coconut oil for a THM S drink if desired. If you use a teaspoon or less, you're still in Fuel Pull (Low Carb/Low Fat) territory.
-Want a THM E drink? Add a few wedges of peeled orange in with the cranberries!
-I like to make this in a huge mug with an immersion blender for minimal cleanup and no risk of pressure buildup. If you don't have an immersion blender, use your regular blender but be careful and vent the blender as needed to avoid a pressure buildup and possible explosion.
-This drink will thicken as it cools, so I don't recommend making it ahead and refrigerating it unless you want a gluccie pudding.
