Winter Treats | Dairy-free & Vegan

We’re having a beautiful snow day here in Portland! Zachary had the day off from teaching, so we’ve been cozied up, binge-watching Australian Survivor, and planning our winter vacation! I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite festive drinks, that just happen to be dairy-free and vegan!
winter vegan beverages, hot chocolate and coconut nogThe first drink is this delicious hot chocolate from Ah!Laska. It’s organic and dairy free, but it doesn’t taste dark or bitter at all. You can mix it with water or your favorite milk alternative (I chose coconut) and it’s perfectly creamy and decadent! img_2560-copyOf course, don’t forget the marshmallows!! Most marshmallows contain gelatin from animals, so I go for vegan marshmallows from Dandies. Tastes the same to me! You can find them at Whole Foods, New Seasons, or your local health food store. img_2566I always get so excited when eggnog finally rolls into grocery stores! Such a great sign that the holiday season is here. As a diary-free alternative, I love coconut nog from So Delicious. It’s thick and creamy and the spices are spot-on with traditional eggnog.
