It’s been wayyyyy too long….
The return of crepes! I got a link back yesterday from a friend who made these, and I can’t believe I forgot about them for so long. I’m definitely a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast, and go through phases where I rotate between 3 or so things.
So I busted out the Vitamix:
and made some crepes, along with pumpkin protein fluff.
Pumpkin protein fluff
In a bowl, combine:
-1 T almond butter or nut butter of choice
-1 T pumpkin puree
-1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
-1/8 C milk of choice (+ more as needed to thin it out)
Heat for 30 seconds in the microwave, stir and add Stevia or honey, cinnamon and nutmeg
It was the perfect crepe filling 
[Along with peppermint almond milk]
This morning, I’m off to the gym and then picking up ingredients for a fun and healthy Halloween treat- if it’s a success, the recipe will be up tomorrow or Thursday
Bella will be snoozing, per usual.
Enjoy your day and I’ll see ya later!

Something to talk about: What’s in your breakfast rotation? Are you a creature of habit, too?
Something to do: Have time for a quickie? Oh yeah you do 
Bust out this quick and crazy 5-minute workout during a break –your co-workers will be amazed- or in between catching up on the DVR tonight. No equipment necessary.
[As always, check with your doc before making any fitness changes]
-Jog in place, 2 minutes
-Jumping jacks, 30 seconds
-Plie squat low, then jump and bring legs together and arms straight up (like a squat jack), 30 seconds
-Plie squat pulse- hold the plie squat and pulse for 15 reps, lift your right heel up and pulse for 15 reps, left heel up (15) both heels up (15)
-Mountain climbers (keep your core TIGHT), 30 seconds

Her cute little feet, paws up, in that picture are killing me! I love the little jellybean toes
right?? she’s so funny
Uncle Sam’s or Oatmeal. This is all I EVER eat. If I eat eggs, it’s brunch or lunch. I am a TRUE creature of habit.
This looks like such a great alternative to the heavy pumpkin pancakes I’ve been loving recently… thanks for sharing!
So, this is unrelated, but…. I’m in India working now and there are SOOOOO many cute baby clothes. Every time I see them I think. “oh, the nugget would look so cute in these!” I think I might have to pack a suitcase full of baby clothes when I head back to the States so I’m stocked up for all my baby showers for the next ten years
ahhh that is so cute!!
Right now for breakfasts I seriously can’t get enough of lox and cream cheese bagels. We get the whole grain bagels, smoked salmon (obviously), and goat cream cheese and I’m basically in heaven every morning. Plus, I read that fish (salmon in particular) really helps ease symptoms of seasonal depression. Even more reason to eat it every day this winter.
i’m so jealous.. i’m DYING for lox.
Love the idea of pumpkin crepes! I’ve made some recently with yogurt, bananas, strawberries, and a little granola on top. Very good and something fun to switch up the old routine!
I always forget about crepes! I’ve had a draft post about crepes ready to post forever but I accidentally deleted all of my pics, so I guess I must make them soon so I can actually post the recipe
Pumpkin as a filling is an awesome idea.
I tend to eat the same thing for bfast until I have it so much I never want to touch it again. Lately it’s been Greek yogurt + granola + banana + almond butter. Today I had toast and I thought I was going loco.
That workout sounds awesome! I might bust it out tonight
let me know what you think!
I love when a reader reminds you of a good recipe you posted a while ago – that just happened to me recently as well.
Also, I still have yet to try the pumpkin protein fluff. I think I need to get on that.
You’re so creative, Gina! Love the pumpkin crepe idea. They look absolutely delicious!
Breakfast habits are inevitable for me! I’m a creature of habit. I’ll find something I love and stick to it for months on end before gravitating towards something different. Right now, it’s Nature’s Path Heritage Flakes cereal with unsweetened almond milk.
I’m excited to try your crepe recipe! I’ve always been too intimidated in the past to attempt them (for whatever reason, they seem like they could be tricky).
that’s what i always thought, too, but they’re super easy!
I’m drooling over your Vitamix! I have the dinkiest blenders that are nowhere near awesome, but they get the job done for now
[there could quite possibly be a giveaway for my bday in a couple of weeks....]
ohmygoodness! that is such a big giveaway to be doing on your birthday! i can’t wait for that!
These sounds amazing!! I’ve never had pumpkin filled crepes!
Im definitely a creature of habit. My breakfast’s usually consist of a green smoothie along with some toast an almond butter, greek yogurt with fruit or some kind of oatmeal!
I’m definitely a creature of habit. My breakfasts are either baked oatmeal or cereal. I like knowing that I am going to eat something I like so that is mainly why I rotate these two. However, on the weekends I might make pancakes if I’m sick of cereal but that’s pretty rare.
Oh my gosh, I love crepes but haven’t ever made them at home! But these look fantastic, especially with that filling!! YUM!! Can’t wait to re-create!
I made a couple huge batches of tiny whole wheat pumpkin muffins and so every morning I bring 4 to work and munch on those with a cup of coffee for breakfast.
I never mix up breakfast like that– I need to aim for more inspired food in the morning! Usually I get on a cereal kick and it takes me months to eat anything else, ha.
Smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt bowls during the week an waffles, more oatmeal and pancakes on the weekend! I have yet to successfully make crepes!
Sounds delish! I’m totally a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. Right now, my favourite combo is very similar to your protein fluff- about 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 packet stevia, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup of egg whites, pumpkin pie spice and a bit of water… all mixed up and microwaved for 3 minutes. It rises and is absolutely beautiful!!
Mmm:) I’ve never made crepes!
Rigth now I’m all about eggs, paleo cereal, and porridge
can’t wait to try the pumpkin protein puff!
i work from home now, but when i was in an office, used to bust out workouts like that all the time! i even had a yoga mat under my desk and if things were slow would squeeze in a few sun salutations!
I pretty much eat the same breakfast every day (cottage cheese, pumpkin or banana, Kashi cereal)—it’s good, and it keeps me full until lunch!
I am definitely a creature of habit when it comes to my breakfast and snacks during the day at work. Once i find out all the foods i’m allergic to and intolerant to, things will be changing though!
Your crepes look PERFECT, Gina. Wow!! I love that you whipped up the batter in the Vita, too. I need to try this, stat.
And the peppermint tea and fluff…mmm, great for fall.
Have a great day
Andy sleeps like that too where he stretches his back legs out! I think its so adorable!! I like to go up behind him and play grab his legs! ;p
Those crepes look amazing!! I haven’t made some in forever either! Such a good idea with the pumpkin fluff.
Aaah, Bella looks so cute! It’s a puppy version of frog pose, lol!
xyx
Are there alternatives to the spelt flour (and brown rice flour) for this recipe?
any flour you’d like
Those crepes look fantastic!!! I pretty much eat the same thing for breakfast every day…….because its easy and I know I like it, haha1
I love crepes!! There is this really good crepe place in Chicago called Flip Crepes (www.flipcrepes.com) Looking at their menu can give you great ideas for fillings.
Your crepes are so purty! Bella is absolutely delicious.
i just love her so much!
Mmm crepes!
Why do I never make those for breakfast?
I tend to rotate through only a few breakfasts too. Right now I’ve been eating pumpkin oatmeal, Greek yogurt and cereal, or oatmeal with berries.
I’m totally a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast, but I try to mix it up between oats, protein pancakes, and Greek yogurt. I never really crave eggs in the morning. It’s always a combo of fruit, protein, and some sort of nut butter. Love my breakfasts! I’m interested to try the crepes.
Absolutely a creature of habit for breakfast! It’s either eggs and cinnamon raisin toast, cereal and fruit, or protein pancakes right now. If I break the rotation it’s usually on the weekend when I have time to experiment. Then if it’s simple and quick I’ll try to add it to the mix. But eggs tend to be on repeat the most! so simple, so delicious.
I definitely have had a homemade breakfast burrito very similar to your egg-rito or just egg whites with spinach every morning for a couple of weeks now.
just wanted to say that i love your blog. i’ve been reading it for a couple weeks now (stumbled upon it on eatingbirdfood) but haven’t commented till now. i love your style and creativity. and i love your dog!!! congrats on your pregnancy and i hope you continue to blog once or twice a day, i look forward to reading it
I love peppermint, but never thought to add it to my almond milk! Sounds like a refreshing way to start the morning.
The crepes look delicious! I need to order some sunwarrior very badly. I ran out two weeks ago and I keep forgetting to get some. Hopefully they can ship it to me before I leave for vacation!
TOTALLY a creature of habit. In fact, I was just thinking on my drive home last night how I will eat the same thing for breakfast for like a month till I’m sick of it, rotate to something else, and it’s like a revolving door. I always end up coming back to the same 3 things! Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes have definitely topped the charts as my all time fav. I also enjoy making my own cereal (I miss eating cereal) so I make my own: 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup slivered almonds (I blend mine in the bullet so they are really fine), 1 tablespoon flax seed, 1/2-3/4 cup almond milk, sweeten with stevia in the raw and I slice up a banana for the top, it’s money!!! I also love me some breakfast tacos
Egg whites, whole wheat quinoa tortillas, cheese, avocado, salsa…..ok I’m officially getting HUNGRY 
Oh yeaa … those crepes look AWESOME!
Hi Gina,
I have a lil question about goat cheese – how much do you use for one serving/portion? One tablespoon? Two? Thanks
one block? haha
usually on the goat cheese it will say how many servings are in one container or package. usually i’ll use that as a guide to split up servings
long live crepes! I miss them too, good reminder today.
i switch up breakfast, sometimes quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, smoothie, pancakes, omlete, ummmm pumpkin pie…
