Always in a rush in the mornings…?
Perhaps skipping breakfast and maybe making less-healthy choices throughout the day?
Here is a quick and easy recipe for freezable breakfast burritos. Much less expensive than typical store bought frozen burritos, plus they are not filled with preservatives and unknown ingredients. Make a batch when you have some free time, and you will no longer have an excuse to be skipping out on a protein packed breakfast!
Omit the ground turkey and add black beans instead for a vegetarian-friendly burrito. Add extra veggies of your liking for more fiber and nutrients.
Each burrito offers: 1 grain/starch, 2.5 oz protein, 1 dairy, and 1 non-starchy vegetable (when you add the veggies you like, of course!)
