It’s that time of the year again when us students at Nepean count down the days to the holidays and winter break. A time of great food, reflection, and best of all, no school! One thing that always keeps me in the festive spirit during the holidays is banana nog: a twist on the traditional eggnog. It’s really easy to make, and the result is an amazing drink spiced with nutmeg and allspice.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this banana nog:

5 cups whole milk or oat milk

1/4 cup icing sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

4 bananas, sliced and frozen

Whipped cream, for topping

Directions:

All you need to do is put the milk, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice and banana in a blender and blend on high speed until the banana liquifies, and the mixture is thick. This should take you around 10 minutes and gets you four refreshing drinks, making it an easy and savory snack.

Have a great break and holidays. I hope you try out this banana nog recipe, and get your mind blown!
