Love eggnog but want something a little lighter? Trader Joe’s O’Nog is a dairy-free oat beverage with nutmeg and ginger for that holiday flavor.
The first sip brought me right back to drinking eggnog at Christmas growing up. To me, it tastes just like the eggnog I remember, with that same thick, creamy consistency. It felt like a little bit of childhood in a glass.
Compared with traditional options like Kroger Original Egg Nog and Trader Joe’s regular Egg Nog, it has fewer calories, less total sugar and less saturated fat. Here’s how they compare using the same serving size:
| Product | Serving size | Calories | Saturated fat | Total sugar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trader Joe’s O’Nog | ½ cup (120 mL) | 70 | 0 g | 11 g |
| Kroger Original Egg Nog | ½ cup (120 mL) | 170 | 5 g | 19 g |
| Trader Joe’s Egg Nog | ½ cup (120 mL) | 180 | 5 g | 20 g |
Try O’Nog chilled with a little cinnamon, add a splash to coffee, or blend it with a frozen banana for a creamy holiday smoothie.
If you want a lighter eggnog without skipping the holiday tradition, this is an option worth a look. It’s a limited-time product, so check your local Trader Joe’s for availability.
