After a workout get a little natural sugar to pick you up and protein to build muscle.
1. Heat a large non-stick sauce pan over medium-low heat. In the pan, whisk together 1-1/2 cups milk, 1-1/2 cups half and half, egg yolks and 3/4 cup Splenda or stevia. Cook and stir until the mixture reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Put the remaining 1-1/2 cups of milk, 1-1/2 cups half and half, bananas, rum extract, vanilla extract, protein powder and 1/4 cup Splenda or stevia in a blender and mix until combined.
3. Combine everything into a pitcher, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. This will store well in the refrigerator.
4. For the optional topping, mix together the Splenda or stevia and cocoa. Spray a little whipped cream over the eggnog and sprinkle up to 1/2 a tablespoon of the cocoa powder over the whipped cream.
