What are French Crepes
French crepes are a thin pancake that doesn’t not contain any rising agent. In addition, there are usually two types: sweet and savory. Sweet crepes are very common in Poland. They are usually served for dinner. However, they are perfect for brunch, breakfast or dessert. They are served with many types of fillings.
Crepe Fillings Sweet & Savory
- Farmer’s cheese, cottage cheese, quark or cream cheese.
- Fruit spreads, jams, preserves or confiture.
- Maple syrup or honey.
- Whipped Cream
- Any type of fresh fruit.
- Chocolate, Nutella.
- Various types of meat.
- Veggies, for instance mushrooms, spinach, artichoke etc.
How to make Crepes
These crepes are made with spinach while original sweet french crepes doesn’t contain spinach. Firstly, gather all ingredients. Fresh spinach, milk, eggs, flour, farmer’s cheese, sugar, greek yogurt, mango and blueberries. Secondly, mix spinach with milk. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter to the frying pan. Add eggs and flour. Cook on low – medium heat on each side. Thirdly, to prepare the filling mix cheese, sugar and greek yogurt until smooth. Moreover, add diced mangoes. Finally, spread each crepe with the filling. Fold in half, then again in half to form a triangle. Also, top it with fresh blueberries.
Tips to make Spinach Mango Crepes
- You need to have a powerful blender to mix spinach with milk very smooth. I used my favorite Ninja Ninja Nutri Bowl Duo with Auto-iQ Boost
.
- Also, you can omit the spinach. You will have original recipe. However, I like how you can easily add nutritious and color naturally.
- Farmer’s cheese substitute include: ricotta, cream cheese or cottage cheese. Moreover, you can use any type for this recipe. Farmer’s cheese is easily found in European stores.
- Also, you can use regular sugar instead of cane sugar
. This is the type of sugar that I usually use in my kitchen.

It’s funny how little things can be so different from country to country – I never would have thought of having crepes for dinner, but now I think I’m going to have to try it! And I love how you added the spinach. Does it impact the taste much? Of course, even if it did, it still sounds delicious to me!

You are a genius!!!!!! I am definitely trying on my 6-yr old! I love your healthy approach to European dishes. I know how hard it is to come up with a recipe that will be healthy and taste good too. Thank you for your hard work!
Ilona
Thank you Tanya. It means a lot for me when you are here:)
Tanya
You are very sweet!!!! I am really glad that I found your site. I love your recipes and have many of them marked to make it for later. My little one and I have been very sick for over a month. No appetite, lots of tea with honey and ginger, and warm milk with honey. The flu this year has been bad. I was also having a lot of dizziness and have been feeling weak to a point of exhaustion. I just thought that it was sleep deprivation but it turned out that my body is dangerously low in iron. So, as we’re slowly recovering. Your pictures look so good and appetizing that my little one agreed for me to make your smoothie and these pancakes for her. 🙂 Double yes, since it has a lot of spinach (iron). Thank you again for your hard work!
Ilona
Spinach will be perfect for iron deficiency. I hope you will feel better soon:)
