Healthy Valentine’s Day Crepes!
Ingredients
- 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
- 4 Egg Whites
- Whipped Topping packet
- ½ scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Skim Milk (volume called for by the whipped topping package instructions)
- 2 tbsp Caramel Protein Powder
- 2 cups sliced Strawberries
Instructions
- Mix together the chocolate protein powder with egg whites to form a very thin batter. Pour this batter over a non-stick sprayed skillet and cook as you would a normal pancake. You should have enough batter for two large crepes.
- Meanwhile, whip the whipped topping with skim milk and vanilla extract according to package directions. Once soft peaks have formed, add in ½ scoop of vanilla protein powder for added flavor.
- Spoon this over top of the crepes and then place over sliced strawberries. Roll up and then after mixing a small amount of water to the caramel protein powder, drizzle this sauce on top and serve with a sprinkling of powdered sugar or sweetener.

Snickerdoodle Blondies. (Vegan, 72 calories a piece!)
-1 can chickpeas (240g drained), 3 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp apple sauce, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/6 cup oatbran or flour.
- Put everything in to a food processor and blend until combined, producing a thick, fudgey consistency. Pour in to a tinfoil lines 8x8 tin and bake for 30-35 minutes at 175C/350F.
- Allow to cool for at least ten minutes before removing from the pan, as they firm up a little when cooling. They will still be relatively gooey when you take them out of the oven. Cut in to 16, enjoy!
These are surprisingly delicious. It just tastes like fudgey peanut-buttery cinnamon goodness. 6 people have tried them, and no one guessed there was chickpeas in there! :)
I cannot wait to make these! This weekend maybe?
Probably gonna make these in like… 10 minutes. ha.
Wolverine is going to love these!
