Holly’s Cheese Blintzes

“These blintzes are to die for—and you’ll feel great for hours thanks to the balance of proteins, carbs, and fats they provide. I eat them every day for breakfast!” says Mosier.

Ingredients

(Makes 1 serving or 2 crepes.)

• 2/3 cup ricotta, low-fat*
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• dash of vanilla
• 2 packages Splenda
• 2 crepes**

Holly’s Shopping Tips:

*Don’t buy part-skim ricotta. It is much higher in calories and fat than the low-fat product! My favorite is brand is Market Pantry from Target because it is somewhat dry.

** Look for 60-calorie crepes in grocery stores near the fruits.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In bowl mix ricotta, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener.
3. Place crepes on lightly sprayed baking sheet.
4. Spoon half of ricotta mixture into middle of each crepe. Fold in ends, and roll like a burrito. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
5. Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Top with ½ cup fresh fruit for extra antioxidants.
