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

1. 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. 
2. 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. 
3. 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.

The 40 Calorie Flour Tortilla

Market Comparison:

In terms of cost, I’m not sure as I’ve never bought tortillas from the store… But I imagine they do not cost 1 cent per tortilla. Nutritionally, 1 Flour Mission Tortilla is 150 calories… These are about a FOURTH of that. :)

Ingredients:

• 1/8 Teaspoon Salt
• .5 oz Water
• 1/4 Cup Flour
• 1/8 Teaspoon Baking Powder

Servings: Creates 2 Tortillas (1 Tortilla = 1 Serving)

Nutritional Facts:

• Calories Per Serving: 41.25 cal
• Fat (g) per Serving: 0.00 g
• Carbs (g) per Serving: 8.63 g
• Protein (g) per Serving: 1.13 g
• Sodium: 32.50 mg

Financial Facts:

Cost Per Serving is $0.01.

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix. Dough should combine in to a single ball. If this doesn’t happen, add a little more water incrementally until it does.
2. Cover the dough with a wet towel or cloth for ~15 minutes.
3. Split dough into two balls. Roll into round shapes.
4. Flour the counter.
5. Take each ball and roll out into a very flat circle.
6. Take each circle and place onto an ungreased skillet.
7. Cook over medium heat until tortilla starts to show brown spots.
8. Enjoy!

***** THE FAME OF HEALTH and FITNESS’s CLEAN EATING PANCAKES *****

These pancakes are to DIE for! I promise you’ll never go back to your other pancakes again… and it’s okay to eat these everyday because they are CLEAN!!

*Makes 1 serving*

Blend the following ingredients:

• 35g of uncooked Quick cooking oats (or 1/4-1/2 cup)
• 1/2 TBSP flax seeds (optional)
• 35g cottage cheese or 1/4 cup (optional - but cottage cheese makes them fluffier)
• 5 egg whites 
• pinch of baking powder
• cinnamon (to your liking, I use 1-2 TBSP)
• 1/2-1 packet of Stevia or Splenda (optional - to add extra sweetness)
• 1/4-1/2 scoop whey (optional)

Heat up a medium pan and spray your pan with olive oil PAM. Add 1/3-1/2  of your batter to your pan, cook, flip, remove, and repeat for the remaining batter.

When your pancakes are ready, add 1 TBSP of all natural PB or almond butter, 1-3 TBSP of sugar-free syrup, and fruit (I prefer using one whole banana or mix half a banana and berries).

Enjoy! If you try this recipe, I’d love to hear about it! BTW, the pancakes are delicate so treat them with care when flipping them and I recommend cooking one at a time.

__________________________________________________________

NOTE: I have tried my pancakes using all of the above combinations and they are all wonderful but my usual go-to recipe is:

• 35g of uncooked Quick cooking oats
• 1/2 TBSP flax seeds 
• 5 egg whites 
• pinch of baking powder
• 1/2 scoop Vanilla or Chocolate WHEY
• cinnamon

Very versatile! I use it in desserts, protein smoothies, lattes, ice cream, on top of bananas… Sky is the limit. I didn’t note it above but use less corn starch if you plan on using it in beverages, otherwise, it may get too thick. :)

You can also microwave some honey and add cocoa powder. It’s higher calories but honey is really good for you.
