Last year, when my husband got serious about his weight loss, he began a daily routine of a protein shake and oatmeal for breakfast. For over an year now, this is what he has done day in and day out. Because of his amazing dedication and focus, he’s lost over 45 pounds which is incredible. He watches what he eats and focuses on eating the right foods. For him drinking a protein shake in the morning is just second nature to him.
I however, love breakfast. I love making all of the breakfast favorites, including crepes. I thought, how great would it be to pair my husband’s love of his protein shakes with a crepe?

The possibilities are endless with filling these crepes. To keep them in the more health conscious category, I only added fresh berries, you could do an assortment of options.
