It gets better.

I deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

Chocolate Crepes

Ingredients:
1 scoop chocolate HMR 120 shake mix
1/4 cup water
1 packet vanilla HMR 70+ shake mix
1/2 cup water (plus 1/8 cup, maybe)
Butter-flavored cooking spray
1 strawberry, sliced (optional garnish)

Directions:
1. Heat a small pan over medium-low heat.
2. Combine chocolate 120 shake mix with 1/4 cup water in small bowl; put in freezer to chill while you make crepes.
3. Combine vanilla 70+ shake mix with 1/2 cup water to create somewhat runny batter (I did this before combining the chocolate, and the 70+ thickens if you let it sit, so I had to add another 1/8 cup water).
4. Spray heated pan with cooking spray; pour half of vanilla batter into pan. Cover pan and cook until crepe is pretty solid. It should sort of bubble up in the middle, and if you peek at the bottom, it should be golden-brown.
5. Carefully loosen crepe from pan using a spatula (the rubbery kind works well for this, as opposed to the sturdy, plastic spatulas), and slide it onto a plate to cool.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 with remaining vanilla batter to make second crepe.
7. Pull the chocolate mix out of the freezer (it should be thick and fudgy, not frozen solid). Spoon half into each crepe, then fold crepes (bottom first, then sides). If desired, top with strawberry slices.

Makes two crepes; counts as a double shake (and less than 1/4 serving of fruit).

Like I said, Nobel Peace Prize.

These were SO GOOD. So good. And I found them quite filling, as well. The only flaw is that the crepe itself comes out a little... wet. Not the consistency, but when you touch it, it's wet. You'll see what I mean when you make them. And really, who's going to complain? I made crepes.

I see endless possibility for variation here. Put PB2 in the filling, use vanilla 120 and mix it with any Jello, SF syrup, or extract, add fruit into the filling...

And toppings! You could top them with any other fresh fruit, SF maple syrup, Reddi Wip Free or Cool Whip Free, a sprinkle of cocoa powder/cinnamon/Splenda... any other ideas? Just don't do all of them at once.

P.S. Without the strawberry topping, these are even Decision-Free Friendly! Rock on!
