Easy to make Crepes with and mango and farmer’s cheese. Totally delicious and KID-Approved!
I hope you are ready for totally delicious crepes that are perfect for upcoming St. Patrick’s Day. However any day is good for these crepes. They are made with mango and farmer’s cheese. This is the dinner that I can serve to my children.
My younger son loves them. I make it for him very often. I serve it with jam, fruits but mostly he prefers with farmer’s cheese or cottage cheese. My older son eats them with peanut butter and banana. That’s good too. Maybe they look like dessert but in Europe where I grew up crepes were usually for dinner. Just before them we had a hearty soup and these crepes were as a second dish.
Probably you are wondering what’s the secret ingredient that I put in them. I kept you to long to know so I’ll tell you it is…… spinach. Yes I used spinach to make beautiful green color. My younger son doesn’t eat lots of veggies, so I have to think how to incorporate vegetables in his diet.
I made them last week and he looked at them surprised. At first he was hesitant to eat. But I told him it’s for St. Patrick’s Day. He knew about this holiday because he is learning at school. And he said OH! Yes! and he ate them. To blend the spinach I used Ninja blender
So now you are probably thinking if you can taste spinach, no.. not at all. I didn’t even taste any spinach in my crepes neither my children. Try them and you won’t regret it. From now on I will always make spinach crepes instead of regular ones. I will knew that my sons have a decent amount of veggies at dinner time. It’s so clever idea.

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!
No it doesn’t affect the taste. They are good. Thanks Chrissy

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!
Thank you Tanya. It means a lot for me when you are here:)
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!
Spinach will be perfect for iron deficiency. I hope you will feel better soon:)
