I have something special for you all! I’m sharing an updated roundup of the very best egg nog recipes from my blogger friends just in time for the holidays.
Glorious egg nog recipes! I know because I’ve made many of these myself and we loved them!
These egg nog recipes come in every variety possible (e.g., just gluten free, dairy free, egg free, vegan, paleo), so there’s sure to be one that you’ll love!
Plus, there are also absolutely wonderful recipes that you can make to use up your leftover egg nog. Or to be honest, recipes that just give you another reason to buy more egg nog and more ways to get your egg nog fix, if you’re a huge egg nog fan like I am!

Strawberry Lemonade Slush – frozen strawberries, water, and lemonade mix (gluten free of course). Easy and delicious!
Melissa says
peanut butter chocolate milkshakes. not the healthiest, but darn delicious!
Nisha says
This is my favorite smoothie right now: the cherry banana ginger smoothie from The Tasty Alternative. And thanks to frozen cherries, I can have it year round!
Patrycja says
I love my simply milk shake. Plant milk (almond or soy-organic of course) plus fruits-banana, strawberries and hemp powder. It is so delicious in the morning. Keeps me going for a while. 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
My favorite thing to make in a blender is nut butters!
Ali Williams says
What a great roundup Shirley! I adore eggnog, but it was not something I let myself have very often, until we all started making it healthier! Now I have lots of fun recipes to try. Thank you so much for including my Yogurt Almond Eggnog recipe in this lovely list. Merry Christmas xo
Nance says
I’m not a big breakfast eater, as you know, Shirley, and I also have been battling arthritis in my hands. This smoothie has been helping me get some energy as well as to sneak in my Raw Apple Cider Vinegar remedy:
1 small apple, seeded and cored
1 handful raw spinach
2 T Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (with the ‘mother’)
1 T natural honey (or more to taste)
1/3 c. water or a few ice cubes
Valerie Mates says
Thanks! I looked again and finally found it. Cool!
My favorite blender recipe is a vegan chocolate mousse, made with dates, avocado, water, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Yum!!!
Faith says
My fave blender recipe is a blood pressure lowering smoothie. Both hibiscus tea and celery are good for lowering your BP. I brew 2 bags of Red Zinger tea in a cup of filtered water (which is made from hibiscus tea) – you can use Tazo passion tea, but the Red zinger has more flavor (I add a couple of drops of honey). I chop and add to the blender carafe 1 celery stalk, half of an apple, 4 frozen strawberries, a handful of frozen spinach and the brewed tea. I then add about a cup of whole or crushed ice. Can add chia seeds for added nutrition. Blend until desired consistency, pour in glass and enjoy. This makes 2 servings – I keep the 2nd serving in the fridge for the next day.
Alisa Fleming says
I’m a thick, spoonable smoothie girl, so it’s always best with frozen banana and nut or seed butter! Right now I’m into adding cherries & chocolate, too 🙂 http://www.godairyfree.org/recipes/cherry-chocolate-chip-shake
Tanya says
My favorite blender recipes are for fruit smoothies. I love to add different kinds of frozen fruit with some yogurt. I sometimes add spinach for a great nutritional punch and a blast of green. I’ve been looking for a new blender for sometime.
Margaret says
I love green smoothies!! My fav is made with an organic Kale Medley and spinach, I add almonds, banana or fruits(s) of choice, aloe vera juice, garlic, coconut oil and chia seeds. Gives me lots of energy in the morning!! Love your blog and thank you for the information, etc.
Marsha says
I like to use the blender to make soups. They work so well to puree veggies to thicken the soup.
Sheila H says
i would love to make banana smoothies with this blender
Kalinda says
Best post ever! OK, that might be a tad hyperbolic, but I seriously love egg nog. I had to stop myself from putting all egg nog in my roundups the past few weeks. You went ahead and rounded them all up for me though. Now I can work my way through trying all of them. 🙂
Celestine says
My favorite smoothies I don’t measure. I dump in a handful of spinach, about a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter, a little yogurt, some cocoa powder, a half a banana, some coconut milk or almond milk and sometimes a scoop of protein powder. 🙂
Patrick Hogan says
Elana’s Broccoli Soup from Elana’s Pantry
http://elanaspantry.com/broccoli-soup/
Stephanie says
I like making kefir smoothies with bananas, strawberries, kefir, and other superfoods like cacao powder, maqui berry powder, etc. Thanks!
Charlotte Moore says
I love a banana protein shake made thick.
Jodi says
Blueberry/mango smoothie with hemp seed and almond milk……very nutrious and gluten/dairy free!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
These all look amazing my friend! YUM! The blenders look amazing too! I’m always on the lookout for good blenders for my smoothies. Since I make them super thick, I tend to go through blenders more than I care to admit. Tony has banned me from his Magic Bullet for this reason. 🙂
Sue says
My favorite is definitely a Raspberry Smoothie!
1 banana, peeled and chunked
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Enjoy!
KarenW says
My husband makes me a smoothie every morning..fruit, almond milk, protein powder and flaxseed. It keeps me going all morning!
Cindy W. says
I like to make a fruit smoothie with yogurt and whatever fruit I may have on hand. Thanks for the giveaway!
Marilyn Barnes says
We just bought our first blender and have not had a chance to try it. We are looking to try a recipe with watermelon and basil for a smoothie.
Sara Mandal-Joy says
My favorite blender recipe is a homemade low-carb “ice cream” I make for my son. I defrost a package of berries – his favorite is raspberries. I pour in equal amounts of cream and berries, add stevia to taste, and maybe a touch of vanilla. Then I blend, and pour into a freezer container. Adding a sugar alcohol like xylitol helps to keep the ice cream from being rock solid. Or I simply pour it into smaller containers to freeze, and then put our 10-15 minutes before he’s going to eat it. Sara
Michelle says
I make tons of protein shakes with a blender and have burned through many. Love to find one that works and lasts! My favorite includes protein powder, macca powder, peanut butter, frozen banana, frozen blueberries, almond milk, ice, kale. And whatever else I have on hand that sounds good to me! 🙂
sarah says
simple: banana almond milk pb2!
Judy McClelland says
I love all kinds of smoothies with fresh fruit! They are the best. However, my old blender is not dependable so I am not getting my refreshing smoothies as before.
Thanks for this opportunity.
Deborah Dorris says
I simply love mixing in a blender almond milk with a couple fruits, of choice, and a little peanut butter. At times I am not much into eating especially breakfast so I make this up in the blender and drink it and I am quite satisfied for a while.
Venessa F says
My favorite recipe using a blender lately is a big batch of hummus. I make different flavors, but I like to blend the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes, salt & chipotle pepper. Thank you so much for this lovely giveaway
Alena M says
Cinnamon coconut pancakes
Janet says
Milk shakes. It depends on how many I make but a cup of ice cream and start with a splash of skim milk.
Michelle P says
Easy smoothie recipe, serves 2 people – 1 small can of pineapple juice, 1 6 ounce vanilla yogurt, 1 cup of either mixed frozen berries (like the combo of blackberry, raspberry, strawberry) or just blueberry and strawberries. Your choice. Blend all together and serve.
angela lazo says
I love strawberry banana milkshakes
Emily says
I would love to make butternut squash soup!

Alice orr says
Lemon-ginger blast is my favorite blender recipe.
Apple, lemon, ginger, kale, cucumber, celery, cilantro, spicy pepper…blast off!
Lisa says
Mayo!! I put a squirt of mustard (about 1 tablespoon), and a little apple cider vinegar (about 1 tablespoon), and some salt (about 1 teaspoon). I put two eggs in the blender (I put them in a pot of 140-degree water for 5 minutes to pasteurize first) and put the speed to the LOWEST speed and add a cup of avocado oil and 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil, VERY, VERY SLOWLY.
Kahri Lynn says
a fake (tahini-less) hummus is my favorite thing to make! 19 oz Chick Peas, drained and rinsed
1/2 olive oil
6 T. lemon juice
1 T. ground pepper
1/2 T cumin powder
1 clove garlic (or more) to taste
All blended together!
Stephanie says
my favorite recipe to make in a blender is a smoothie! Coconut milk, frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple, frozen mango and sweetener (I like to use honey in it) as needed. My husband goes wild for this simple treat!
