LOW CALORIE EGGNOG: THE PERFECT HOLIDAY PARTY COCKTAIL

[AiHeartBunnys]

You kinda look like Miranda Kerr. <3

[AmandaRussell]

@AiHeartBunnys LOL - thank YOU!



[StevieStickman]

I think she is literally the most beautiful woman on youtube. Like, no exaggeration.

[AmandaRussell]

@StevieStickman wow, that's a huge compliment, thank you!

[Tips4Running]

I know this is off topic, but Amanda, how did you fracture your femur? I just saw another video "My Body, My Biography, Amanda" How does it feel now when you run? Are you fully recovered or has it altered your stride forever?

[AmandaRussell]

@Tips4Running I will have to do a video/story on that some time, perhaps a story for your site in the new year :)

I will never be 'fully recovered', my running career ended, which is how I got into other forms of fitness, hence my career now. I am convinced you CAN get into the best shape of you life without running. And for the runner's out there, my workouts DO make you incredibly stronger, and faster!

[gabbepawa]

dang it... i want some now x)

[AmandaRussell]

@2SweetMomma That is more than fine. It will give it a slightly more vanilla taste, but that is for good reasons. The consistency will stay the same though :).

[2SweetMomma]

I am allergic to nuts...do you think I could substitute vanilla soy milk? or would that change the consistency?

[muffinheads4life]

What does eggnog taste like?

[AmandaRussell]

@muffinheads4life try it and find out - it's hard to compare - anyone else have a good analogy?

[AmandaRussell]

My friend's say the same thing @798333! What spice do you use? I usually use cinnamon in the ones I make.

[AmandaRussell]

@AmandaRussell I use nutmeg or cinnamon or a little cocoa powder :)

[7988333]

egg nog tastes really good when mixed with sprite :)

[JJAB91]

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[thehousefox]

@AmandaRussell Just as a friendly suggestion have you thought about not having the camera switch and jump around so much? I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that 'It's kind of annoying' to have it zoom while panning and then zoom out every 2 seconds. True, that might be hyperbole.. Just throwing that out there.

[AmourParisien]

You're the only fitness channel on youtube that actually motivates me :)

[AmandaRussell]

@AmourParisien aww really appreciate that! thank you for your support!

[AmandaRussell]

@MrAalwadie I know! A lot of people love eggnog though and this is a simple alteration to a delicious holiday treat that many of your holidays guests will love. And thank you for the comment :). It means a lot.

[Tips4Running]

I'm not a fan of egg nog either. I just don't like it because of the taste, not because of the fat content.  I think some people in my family like it a little more because of the brandy they mix in!

[mastegib1]

ive never tried eggnog but i am for sure trying this

[AmandaRussell]

@mastegib1 its super good if you like eggnog, let me know what you think

[M2brSaA]

I'm definitely going to try this recipe! I love egg nog. Btw, how many calories do you have a day? How many should a 5'2" woman intake?

[AmandaRussell]

@M2brSaA It really depends on your body type and activity level. But women have a tendency to actually eat too few calories/day which leads to a slower metabolism. You should really not go below 15-1600 calories/day - hope this helps!

[dietshank]

can we have your daily diet and calorie intake please?

[AmandaRussell]

@dietshank Absolutely, - I've had SO MANY questions on this that I think I'm going to create my AR Meal PLAN and post it on my new website when it launches (to launch next week) - would you be interested?

[dietshank]

@AmandaRussell of course would love to see it, your an inspiration so it would be good to know how you got to the stage you are, and maintain it :) keep up the videos!! please could you show us some quick healthy and low cal dinners?xxxx

[xoxoangelxoxo424]

@AmandaRussell

YES!

[skullzy]

I've never tasted eggnog, amanda my old trainer told me it's better to eat 6 - 7 small meals a day but my problem is that I can't seem to figure out a good meal plan I thought along the lines of carbs in the morning and afternoon and then protein more towards the dinner hour. I've been trying to think of a meal plan that is universal so that am not limited to just 1 variety of food. could you do a show on something like this? or perhaps pmsg me a good plan? I do my workouts in the mornings

[roninpainbringer]

damn she has a beautiful face but she looks almost anorexic. you need to put on some weight amanda.

[AmandaRussell]

@roninpainbringer Thank you for your concern, but being thin does not equal anorexia- this is similar to judging all overweight people as lazy, a stereotype that hurts people. I'd love for you to check ou the intensity of my workouts - I workout hard almost everyday, which takes a lot of strength and energy.

[roninpainbringer]

@AmandaRussell no offense meant but may i ask how tall you are and how much you weigh?

[micehaas]

@roninpainbringer the jealousy against amanda/kelly ripa/all naturally thin women is incredible. Unless you are willing to post your own picture in full, we should all just keep unauthorized assumptions to ourselves.

[webebodymovin]

at 1:53 looks very devilish but pretty of course haha. love ya girl!

[noyes20b]

:) I love that it's made with almond milk. I'm lactose intolerant so this is a way that I can still have some too!

[Dtac25]

I dont get the appeal of eggnog either... People are weird. hahaha or maybe we're the weird ones for not liking it.....

[ibrookelicious]

DEFINITELY making this. thank you!!!

[fashionforward86]

I would really love to see what you eat daily... maybe like a healthy meal plan that viewers can follow!

[raspberry996]

@fashionforward86 yeah that would be great! :)

[stacysaurousrex]

Great Video! I shall make this for my dad since he loves eggnog!
