This recipe uses Body Nutrition Trutein protein powder (ideal texture and taste for baking). If you don’t have chocolate protein powder available, other flavors work as well. I recommend checking out Vanilla Bean, Cookies & Cream, or Red Velvet Cake. Trutein is a blend of whey, egg, and casein protein. You may need to adjust the amount of milk and cooking time with a different type of protein.

This recipe scales up well if you want to make a heap of crepes. Store the extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Separate each crepe with parchment paper, and reheat in the microwave for a few seconds.

Adjust the macros for these cocoa protein crepes by changing up the toppings and fillings. For more protein, spread on nonfat Greek yogurt. Add more fruit for additional carbs. For fats, spread on nut butter. Peanut butter and banana would be a great combo.

These cocoa protein crepes and berries are a fast treat. 27g of protein while satisfying a sweet tooth.

Any flour will work for this recipe, regular white, whole wheat, gluten free, etc. For sweet crepe filling, I recommend adding a pinch of cinnamon and small splash of vanilla extract to the batter. You could also add peanut butter powder or coco powder to change up the flavor.

A few filling ideas:

Blueberry Lemon Protein Crepes

Blueberry Lemon Protein Crepes

These simple blueberry lemon protein crepes combine the sweetness of blueberries and vanilla with tangy lemon for a fun weekend breakfast treat.

Blueberry Lemon Protein Crepes

Spring has sprung and bright flowers are popping out here in San Diego! It inspired me to create a colorful new breakfast recipe – using the classic combination of blueberry, vanilla, and lemon.

Each one of these lovely blueberry lemon protein crepes delivers 25g of protein, 25g carbs, and less than 3g fat – it’s an excellent after training meal. I highly recommend using wild blueberries (smaller and sweeter) but any type will work. A strawberry filling would also pair well with the lemon if you aren’t a blueberry fan. Truly, there are endless combinations by using different flavors of protein powder and fillings mixed with the yogurt.

For the protein power, I recommend Trutein Vanilla Bean (a blend of whey, egg, and casein protein). This protein blend tolerates heat well during cooking and provides the right texture.

The crepe preparation is very forgiving and you can adjust the thickness by adding more or less water to the batter.

Sweet blueberries and vanilla with tangy lemon are a perfect spring pairing in this fun weekend breakfast treat.
