Recipe: Protein Crepes

Think putting yourself on a muscle building eating plan has to be a painful process? Whether your goal is fat loss or muscle building, getting proper nutrition is at least 80% of the game. If you don't have that figured out, you are going to be a long time away from seeing results.

The good news is that your tastebuds don't have to suffer if you don't want them to. There are plenty of ways to get in your proper nutrition while keeping things interesting. If you think gaining muscle means suffering through endless cans of tuna or pounding back protein shakes as fast as humanly possible, you need to think again.

Here's another recipe. Give this and the recipes from the last two weeks a try. You'll be surprised just how easy it is to eat right, achieve your goals, and actually ENJOY your food at the same time.

Protein Crepes

Looking for something different for dessert? Why not try a high-protein crepe? Fill these with your favorite fruit and top with Redy Whip, nut butter, or cottage cheese. Alternatively use them as part of a main course, as a wrap for tuna salad, chicken breasts and vegetables, or whatever favorite creation you come up with.
  • 1 cup whole omega-3 eggs
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (if using these for dessert, you may want to use strawberry or chocolate flavored powder instead)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Begin by whipping together the eggs and protein powder. Stir in vanilla extract. Next, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is heated, pour the batter into the skillet so there is just enough to thinly cover the bottom. It is a good idea to remove the pan from the heat while doing this so the batter will spread evenly.

Allow crepe to cook over medium heat until small bubbles begin to form on the top. Flip the crepe over and cook once again until finished.
