Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1 tbsp. vanilla protein powder with about 100 calories per serving (like the kind by Quest or Tera's Whey)
1 tbsp. chocolate protein powder with about 100 calories per serving (like the kind by Quest or Tera's Whey)
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
3 drops red food coloring
1/3 cup light/low-fat ricotta cheese
1 tbsp. low-sugar strawberry preserves
3/4 cup sliced strawberries
1 1/2 tsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
To make the batter, in a small bowl, combine egg whites, both protein powders, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and food coloring. Whisk until uniform.
To make the crepes, bring a 10-inch nonstick skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Pour half of the batter into the pan, quickly tilting the skillet in all directions to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip with an offset spatula or flexible rubber spatula. Cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 1 minute.
Transfer the crepe to a plate, and repeat the process with remaining egg mixture to make another crepe.
In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese with preserves until uniform. Stir in 1/2 cup strawberries and 1 tsp. chocolate chips. Divide mixture between the centers of the crepes.
Fold both sides of each crepe over the filling. Top with remaining 1/4 cup strawberries and 1/2 tsp. chocolate chips.
