TGIF: Dessert in disguise

Yesterday, I didn't feel like eating a plain cup of eggwhites with stevia like i usually do, so this is what i made, and ate as my pre-workout meal (keep in mind, i'm dieting. this is a very SMALL meal. Usually, I'd add some form of carbs or fat to it, but it was straight protein really)


Takes less than than 10 minutes start to finish to make! 


What you need:
 (1/2c eggwhites, or 3 eggwhites)
(1/2c protein powder. feel free to use a whole scoop and just up the liquid factor)
(2 packets)stevia/truvia/splenda 
(1TB) unsweetened cocoa powder


Cook:
1. Heat a small skillet to medium heat, spray with non-stick cooking spray (or oil if u want to add fat)
2. Combine the eggwhites, protein powder, and sweetener in a measuring cup. mix well with a fork
3. pour half of the batter into the pan and make sure it spreads evenly. like a crepe
(while it's cooking, mix the 1TB cocoa powder with a little bit of water and 1 packet sweetener until desired sauce/paste-like consistency. think very smooth liquid-like nut butter
4. flip the crepe/pancake after 1-2 minutes
5. repeat with the remaining half of the batter


you now have two crepes of the same size. spread the cocoa sauce on one, sandwich them together, and cut like a pizza. YUM!!!!  


Calories:
1/2c eggwhites: 60cal. 12.5g protein
1/2scoop protein: *sunwarrior* 40 cals. 8g protein
1TB cocoa powder: 20 cals. 2g carbs


Optional add-ins to try:
-chia seeds in the cocoa sauce
-ground or whole flax in the crepes
-coconut flour in the crepes
-add oat bran/oat flour/oatmeal to the batter to make pancakes
-xanthan gum to thicken ingredients
-vanilla/coconut/almond extract
-microwaved fruit to spread in the middle
-PEANUT BUTTER.... (or your favorite nut butter)


Endless possibilities. Try it out!!
