Two simple ingredients—egg whites and Bob’s Red Mill Protein Powder—whisked together and cooked in a skillet make the most marvelously simple crepes you’ve ever tasted. Added bonus, each serving has 25+ grams of protein! Plus probiotics, chia and only 2g of sugar.
It’s that time of year when I’m ready to simplify everything. Clean the holiday out of my house Kondo style. Toss everything in the fridge and replace it with only the best and purest ingredients. Eat just the barest minimum of healthy basics.
The abundance of this season is fun. But don’t you always feel the draw to get back to being the best you? Yeah, me too.
Part of dialing in my eating so I can fit BACK into the pants I wore just before Thanksgiving (thank you, Thanksgiving!) is eating a hefty punch of protein in the morning. And steering clear of sugars in the process.
So these 2-ingredient crepes are an all around winner. Egg whites and protein powder. That’s all you need. Whisk together and cook in a skillet for a tasty low-sugar, low-carb, high protein (25+ grams per crepe!) breakfast, snack or dessert. Then fill or top with all your favorites. Nut butter and banana. Hazelnut spread and berries. Yogurt and blueberries. There are so many ways to enjoy these simple crepes.
And yes! You can use any of the Bob’s Red Mill Protein Powder flavors. Try the vanilla or chai flavors with sour cream and a schmear of lingonberry jam or drizzle of coconut sugar and you’ll want every meal to be breakfast.
