Tasty Tuesday: Chocolate Protien Crepes

Happy Tuesday, everyone! A cold/bug/viral illness has struck our household, and Johnathon, Hadley Kate, and I are all battling a runny nose, scratchy throat, and low grade fever. Lame. Fortunately, Deanna has a comfort food recipe to share with us today!

Take it away, Deanna...

Hi, I'm Deanna! I'm a wife to an amazing husband and mommy to our adventurous 2 year old son, Matthew.  I live for family, nutrition & fitness, and of course a good book- especially the kind that help me make delicious food!  I have a BS in Health Science, I became a Beachbody coach in June 2015, and am currently working on my Holistic Nutrition degree!

Today, I'm sharing with you how to make Chocolate Protein Crepes!  I for one have never made a crepe in my life! Wait for it… I’ve never EATEN a crepe in my life! It always just seemed like a fancy pancake type thing that is only served at fancy brunch places… I know, I know, go ahead and ask me how long I’ve lived under a rock. Well, I made them and will definitely be trying them at a restaurant now! By the way, with these...think omelet, NOT pancake… otherwise you may be disappointed. These crepes are refreshing and more of a treat than a hearty, savory breakfast. So, save it for a day you have a sweet tooth.

Chocolate Protein Crepes

2 whole eggs

2 egg whites

1 packet or scoop chocolate WHEY protein powder (whey is needed for consistency!)

Non-stick spray

½ cup plain Greek yogurt (I love Oikos triple zero- sweet for the little sugar it contains)

½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp (1 drop) maple extract or maple syrup

2 Tbsp Peanut Butter, melted

Cinnamon, dashed

Fresh berries

Directions:

Combine all eggs and protein powder in a medium bowl; mix well.  Heat small nonstick skillet and spray with oil- medium-high heat.

Pour about ¼ cup batter into skillet.  Cook for 1-2 minutes, until mixture starts forming bubbles, flip and cook for 30 seconds.

Repeat with remaining batter in ¼ cup measurements.  Makes approximately 3-4 crepes.

Combine yogurt and extract in a small bowl; mix well.

Fill crepes with yogurt mixture and add desired filling (I used the peanut butter), berries, and cinnamon.  Fold in half and enjoy!

21 Day Fix calculations (1 crepe): ½ Purple, 1 Red

Variations for filling- Fresh fruit, JAM, honey
