A delicious and savory crepe filled with spinach, feta cheese, and a high-protein batter. Perfect for a light lunch or brunch. Packed with 25 grams of protein per serving, this dish makes an excellent choice for fueling your day or supporting muscle recovery after a workout. The tender, thin crepes boast a subtly nutty flavor, complemented by the rich, tangy feta and the earthy freshness of spinach, creating a satisfying balance of textures and tastes. The slightly crispy edges give way to a soft, moist interior, making each bite delightful. Ideal for meal prep, these crepes can be made ahead and enjoyed warm or at room temperature. For gluten-free options, use a gluten-free flour blend, and vegans can substitute the feta with plant-based cheese and eggs with flaxseed or chickpea flour. For best results, ensure your batter is smooth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to achieve optimal thinness and elasticity. This versatile dish is perfect for a nutritious, high-protein meal at any time of day, especially when you need a savory, satisfying boost.

INSTRUCTIONS
In a blender, combine flour, protein powder, eggs, milk, and melted butter. Blend until smooth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a thin layer of batter and swirl to coat the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side.
In a bowl, combine the wilted spinach and crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the spinach and feta filling onto each crepe and fold.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My pancakes are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
