How many more days until Spring because I am counting down to warmer weather! These easy, three-ingredient, Peanut Butter Yogurt bites are the perfect healthy snack - make them for yourself or for the kiddos! I’ve teamed up with PB2 and used their delicious Crunchy Powdered Peanut Butter for this recipe. It has almost 70% fewer calories than traditional peanut butter and 5g of plant based protein! 

Todays blog post is amazingly sponsored by PB2 who I’ve had to absolute honor of working with since 2017! See other recipes I’ve made with them here, here, here, here, and here.

The Best Gluten Free Vegan Crepes

Blog2_MaeLutz_Crepe_Vegan_GlutenFree.jpg

Hi guys! I hope you’re doing well! Today I’m bringing you these DELICIOUS vegan and gluten free crepes. I recently switched to a gluten free lifestyle a few weeks ago to help my Hashimotos disease (doctors orders) so I’ve been on the hunt to make food that tastes no different than what I’m used to. My husband is vegan so 95% of what I make I want him to be able to eat as well so here you go - an amazing gluten-free and vegan crepe!

The star of the show today is the PB2 Performance - Peanut Protein (Dutch Cocoa) which is packed with 20g of protein per serving! You can easily mix it with milk, add it to your morning smoothie, or put it in your food like I did!

Todays blog post is amazingly sponsored by PB2 who I’ve had to absolute honor of working with since 2017! See other recipes I’ve made with them here and here.

If you’re wondering what the pink drizzle is, it’s just some raspberries mixed with the yogurt. You know, because who doesn’t want a little pink on their food?

The Best Gluten Free Vegan Crepes

Serving: 3-4 people (the batter makes 10, 6” crepes)

INGREDIENTS:

CREPES:

  • 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal and 6 tbsp water. Mix together and set aside for 5 min. 

  • 3/4 cup GF oat milk

  • 1/2 cup sparkling water (regular water works, too)

  • 1 cup of “1 to 1” GF baking flour 

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter

  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

  • 2 scoops PB2 Performance - Peanut Protein (Dutch Cocoa)

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

FILLING:

  • 8oz Vanilla GF vegan yogurt

  • 2-3 cups of berries of your choice 

TOPPING:

  • Berries of your choice

  • Powdered Sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Make two flaxseed “eggs” by combining flaxseed meal with water. Mix together and set aside for 5 minutes. 

  2. Combine all of the crepe ingredients into a blender until smooth. If you have to hand mix, make sure the batter is as smooth as possible. 
    *Tip: you can make the batter the night before if you want! Store in the fridge and it will be good to go the next morning.

  3. Heat a small 6” non-stick pan on medium heat. Spray with oil.

  4. Pour a small amount of crepe batter into pan and immediately start twirling the pan to help spread the batter out as thin as possible. **YOU GOT THIS! Don’t let this part stress you out. It takes practice if you’ve never made crepes before.

  5. After about a minute, use a spatula to lift the edges and carefully flip the crepe. Cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

  6. Spread the vanilla yogurt on each crepe like sauce on a pizza, add about 4-5 berries in a row, and roll the crepe up. 

  7. Top with whatever you want! I used powdered sugar and more berries. 

  8. Enjoy!

PB + BERRY SMOOTHIE

PB + BERRY SMOOTHIE RECIPE

titlefinals-5469.jpg

I'm extremely excited to say that this is a sponsored recipe written by me on behalf of PB2. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Enjoy!

A smoothie is the easiest way I can jam pack nutrients into a meal as quickly as possible and sneak in vegetables and nutrients while keeping it simple. Today I give you a PB + Berry (and beet) smoothie. Now, before you click off of this because I mentioned beets, trust me when I say it doesn't taste like beets AT ALL, but it does give this baby an amazing hot pink color. In addition, I've teamed up with PB2 to use their powdered peanut butter to add protein and provide a great peanut butter alternative if you're looking for ways to lower your fat and calorie intake without sacrificing taste. All you need are 5 main ingredients to whip this drink up and an option to top it with whatever you want. I found everything I needed at Kroger which continues to add to the easiness of this recipe - woohoo! 

Tip: Feel free to toss in a handful of spinach (you won't taste it) for extra greens or leave out the bee pollen to make it totally vegan!
