    This easy recipe has been approved by both my foodie friends and my fitness competitor pals (who enjoy this crepe on and off season)! Delish!

Items Needed:
10 ” or 12″ non-stick pan
Cooking Spray
4 oz. egg whites (organic preferred)
1 Tablespoon unsweetened, dark coco powder (organic if you can find it)
1 tsp organic, unsweetened cacao nibs (a substitute can be some crushed, organic nuts for texture)
1 cup organic spinach (substitute organic kale or even 1 Tablespoon of organic, canned pumpkin for a fluffier texture, like a pancake. My personal preference is using 1/2 scoop of *IsaGreens. Note: If you use IsaGreens, omit the Stevia and raw spinach. If you need more protein, add into 1/2 scoop of undenatured, chocolate whey protein powder.).
3-6 drops of organic, liquid Stevia (substitute with beet sugar, Monkfruit or Swerve if you prefer. Note: this can change the listed nutrition facts).
Directions:
Blend all of the ingredients using a hand blender or Magic Bullet to create your “batter”.
Pour into your warm, non-stick pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray (never cook in a cold pan! Make sure your pan has been on a low or medium heat for 60 seconds).
Cover – do not flip – use a vented lid to bake all the way through, for no more than 3 minutes (cook times will vary. I use a medium heat and keep watch to when the crepe is done).
Gently remove and roll the crepe onto your plate with a spatula for a beautiful presentation.
Add a few fresh, organic berries, and a mint leaf to garnish!

A special addition if you are ok with a few more calories (but still good for you), immediately sprinkle on a few dark chocolate chips and allow them to melt. I use 1 square of organic dark chocolate or 1 IsaDelight!
Send me some pics of your lovely creations and let me know how your guiltless, nutritious pleasure turns out!
