Hello! How was your weekend?
Yesterday I spent the day with my mom. We got massages and Thai food and it was the best!
Then, we hung out and watched the fight at my parent’s house. Canelo lost, but he’s only 23 so he has a lot of time to be the world champion. Go Canelo!
We got the Gigante Pizza with chorizo topping. It’s ridiculous. Plus the usual beverages and snacks.
My Tres Leches cake was a hit! Recipe coming tomorrow.
Today is a rest day so I celebrated with Pancake Sunday! But, I’ve been dreaming about that crepe I had in Las Vegas ever since last weekend. It was amazing and indulgent so I wanted to make a little bit healthier version.
I made protein crepes and stuffed them with chocolate almond butter and bananas. Yes.
Stuffed Protein Crepes Recipe
{Serves one – High Protein – Gluten Free}
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup egg whites
-
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla whey)
-
almond milk to thin out batter
-
optional: stevia to sweeten (my protein powder is pretty sweet), powdered sugar
Stuff with bananas, chocolate chips, nutella, nut butter, candy corn…
Directions: Mix egg whites and protein powder in blender. If your protein powder isn’t very sweet on it’s own add sweetener.
Batter should be thinner than normal pancake batter. Add milk of your choice or a dash of water if it’s not.
Cook in a HOT, well sprayed pan. Spread batter around in pan in a thin, even coat. The mix made 2 crepes in my big skillet.
I made chocolate almond butter by mixing AB, cocoa powder and agave. Spread on one side of crepe with banana slices. Fold in half and half again.
Dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
Question: What did you do this weekend?
those crepes look so yummy. and thanks for the hint on nutella. i only just discovered this luscious snack a short while ago (i know, i lived a very deprived childhood), and i’m using it for everything. i may even try stirring it into my coffee…((-;
Ran a 5k! Sometimes it’s so nice to be done running after half an hour instead of just getting started.
Do you need protein powder for this?
The crepes look delicious! I spent the weekend relaxing with friends…although now I wish I had ordered the crepes at brunch on Saturday.
I love hanging out with my mom! And getting massages, you have great taste in activities. Going to give that crepe recipe a try soon- I loooove them. Too bad I can’t eat Nutella due to an allergy 🙁
Make a replacement Nutella! I just mixed up nut butter, cocoa and agave – so easy.
Such good advice! I can use the fancy Barney Butter almond butter I buy with the cocoa and agave. I can’t have peanuts or hazelnuts, so I’m good at finding substitutes- the Barney Butter is JUST LIKE peanut butter. Thanks for your reply!
We headed to the shore for our last beach trip of the summer! It wasn’t warm enough to go in the water, but I got a fantastic run in along the beach which was wayyy better anyway. 😉
pancake sunday – ha. my husband and i do “bacon sunday” which sometimes also involves pancakes 🙂
I went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival! It was sooo much fun! Too bad I got sick that night and spent all day on Sunday in a horizontal position! Watched a LOT of TV and ate a lot though…So it wasn’t ALL bad! 🙂
Oh my word, those look amazing and I’ve GOT to try! Thanks for sharing…I hope mine turn out as good as yours 🙂 hope you had a good weekend girl!
That is an amazing pizza! Of course I comment on the really healthy food item on this post (I need help). My weekend included apple picking (along with most of the population of the US) and applesauce making.
and you had me at time with your MOM.
I PRAY my child and I are like you two when she grows up.
🙂 I pray for that for you too, I’m very grateful we get along so well. I don’t have any sisters to bond with, so my mom is my peep!
This looks awesome!
Yum to all of this! I’m now craving cake before 6 am.
Guess what I’m now having for lunch? Yep- protein crepes! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
I went shopping for nice new workout gear and sneakers for my birthday with my boyfriend. We go some real bargains! I also tried to resist chocolate and went on a glorious long walk in the morning sunshine.
Looks delicious! I hung out with my in-laws at the beach. Fun times!
OMG! This sounds so fun – I can’t wait to try!!
Thank you!! <3
Tres Leche is my favorite cake…can’t wait to see the recipe : )
that looks so so awesome! I went into the mountains this weekend and it was some much needed relaxation!
Ooh I want a crepe, now! With nutella and banana 😉
I road tripped to Philly and ran the Rock n Roll Philly Half this morning! I had a great race 😀
Mayweather is always going to reign over EVERYONE. Canelo had no chance…
My mouth is watering now 🙂
That looks so good! I ran an 8k race this weekend that was fun. Today I haven’t left the house once. It has been lovely. I should do this more often.
apple picking, soccer game…
Next weekend, soccer, V has his last 1.2 miles for his kids marathon, a birthday party and I have a half the next day
These look DELICIOUS! I spent my weekend doing a whole lot of running and relaxing. Nothing fancy but it was so nice to relax!
Laid by the pool yesterday and graded papers today (which is obviously going really well since I’m reading blogs). Part of me appreciates the downtime, while part of me has some serious cabin fever.
