In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/2 cup of milk until combined.
Gradually add the vanilla protein powder and whole wheat flour to the egg mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Add the remaining milk, water, honey, and salt, whisking until the batter is smooth.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and mix it into the batter.
Cover the batter and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small piece of the remaining butter, swirling to coat the pan.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the crepe begins to brown on the bottom.
Flip the crepe carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat this process with the rest of the batter, adding more butter as necessary.
Let the crepes cool to room temperature before assembling the cake.
For the filling, mix the Greek yogurt with the almond extract until smooth.
To assemble the crepe cake, place one crepe on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of the yogurt filling on top.
Continue layering crepes and yogurt filling until all the crepes are used.
Top the final layer with the remaining yogurt mixture, sliced almonds, and fresh berries.
Chill the crepe cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set.
