Protein crepes
This morning I tried a new recipe to make crepes (which is basically a thin pancake). And I was so pleased with it. And it's super simple. You can skip the banana slices inside if you would like to keep carb counts down. I add them on my workout days.
2/3 cup egg whites
4 medium strawberries
1/2 medium banana
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp stevia or Splenda
Nutritional info for 2 crepes with banana rolled inside

Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth.
Remove skillet from heat, re-spray and repeat with remaining batter to make six more pancakes. (Keep an eye on 'em... They'll likely cook faster than the first two.)
Bring large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-low heat. Add batter to skillet and roll the batter around to spread it out to a thinner pancake. Size is approx. 6-7" around. Cook until crepe begins to bubble and solid enough to flip, 1-2 minutes.
Gently flip, and cook until both sides are lightly browned and the inside is cooked through, about 1 minute.

(*You can skip this step if you want to keep your carb count lower) Slice half a banana and place 4 slices inside each crepe then roll it up.
