Ingredients:
For the Crepes:
- 1 cup of whole wheat flour
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 scoop of strawberry protein powder
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or butter for the pan
For the Strawberry Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- Greek yogurt or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crepe Batter:
In a blender, combine the whole wheat flour, milk, eggs, strawberry protein powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend until the batter is smooth and well combined. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.
2. Heat the Pan:
Place a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
3. Cook the Crepes:
Pour a small ladleful of the crepe batter into the hot pan, swirling it to spread it evenly.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
4. Flip and Fill:
Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Repeat this process with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.
5. Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
In a bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with honey. Let them sit for a few minutes to release their juices.
6. Assemble the Crepes:
Lay a crepe flat on a plate. Spoon some of the strawberry filling onto one half of the crepe.
Fold the other half of the crepe over the strawberries, creating a half-moon shape.
Optionally, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream and an extra drizzle of honey.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Repeat the process for the remaining crepes.

Absolutely, frozen strawberries work well. Just thaw and slice them before mixing with honey.
3. What other toppings can I add?
Get creative! Try adding sliced bananas, a drizzle of almond butter, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
4. Can I make the crepes in advance?
Yes, you can make the crepes ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat them gently in a pan before filling.
5. Is there a specific brand of strawberry protein powder you recommend?
You can use your favorite brand of strawberry protein powder. Just make sure it blends well in the batter.
