These were so good! I used applesauce instead of earth balance since I was out and they still were awesome. Took a little longer to cook. But, we added veggies, salsa, and grated cheese :) yum!

Hi Gina! I really want to try the apple, raw goat cheddar and cinnamon crepe. I’m not too familiar with goat cheddar…do you melt the cheese and spread it in the crepe or just sprinkle it over the apples? Can’t wait to try it!

hi- what is stevia? (have googled it, but would like your insight). x shayma

it’s a plant-based sweetener. a little bitter, but not chemical based like the other calorie-free options

Hey Fitnessista!

You have SO MANY healthy food options that sound delicious. I’m so happy I stumbled across your page :) Made these crepes today, they’re so easy and so yummy! I did it with chicken, spinach, and mushrooms. Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes. I made the cookie dough cereal for breakfast, so enjoyable and filling!

Thanks so much for sharing!!
