Eggnog Breakfast Shake

Plexus 96

The holidays are upon us - 'tis the season for some Egg Nog.  Yum! The sad reality is that 1 cup of eggnog has 344 calories!  That's 100 more calories than a Snickers Candy Bar! And neither option offers much nutritional value.

So I had an "aha" moment when I was mixing my Plexus 96 breakfast shake yesterday morning. Why not add some flavoring/seasoning to the blender and turn my vanilla shake into an EGGNOG SHAKE! Um yes. Do it now! And it is packed with good nutrition to start your day:

35% Daily Value of Vitamin A
18% Daily Value of Vitamin C
50% Daily Value of Vitamin D
