Tips & tricks
· For a finer consistency, place a fine sieve over a large bowl and push the chopped nut mixture through with spatula. Return any un-chopped nuts and/or seeds to mixing bowl and mix Turbo/1 sec/5 times. Repeat this process as needed, until the nut mixture is pushed through the sieve into a fine powder. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. The sieved powder mixture can be mixed into drinks or used any way you would use protein powder.

Ingredients
2 oz unsalted butter, plus extra to fry
10 – 12 oz whole milk
2 oz cottage cheese
2 oz all-purpose flour
2 oz protein powder, or 2 oz Homemade Protein Powder (see Tip)
1 large egg

2. Add milk, cottage cheese, flour, protein powder, egg and salt and start Blend /30 sec. The batter should have a thin consistency. If it seems too thick, add a little milk. Allow batter to rest for at least 30 minutes before using.
3. Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan (9 in.) with butter and heat on medium. Pour in a small ladle (or ¼ cup) of batter, twirling the pan as you pour to cover base of pan completely (crêpe will be approx. 8.5 in. and very thin). Cook for 2-3 minutes or until edges of crêpe are light golden. Turn crêpe over and cook a further 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel (tea towel) to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm.

· Crêpes can be frozen for later use. Place a piece of parchment or cling wrap between each crêpe before freezing so they can be easily defrosted. After defrosting, wrap crêpes in foil and warm in a preheated oven (300°F) for 5-10 minutes.
· To replace butter with oil, omit butter and add 2 oz oil along with all other ingredients. Use oil instead of butter for frying.
· Crêpes can be served with sweet or savory fillings.
· Flavor the crêpes: add 3 tbsp vanilla sugar, 1 tsp grated orange zest, or 3 oz sugar and 2 tbsp rum along with all other ingredients.

· Strain pulp from juice to taste. Pulp is where the fiber is, and fiber helps to decrease sugars in the blood. For the most health benefits, add some of the pulp back into the juice and thin to desired consistency with water.
· Pulp can be used to liven up smoothies, turn into ice cubes to flavor water or add to baked goods, reducing the need for oils or butter.
