Breakfast Burritos Are a Quick, Healthy Way to Start the Day

Breakfast Burrito

Here we are harping on breakfast again. Breakfast is the best way to keep you from eating lots of junk food throughout the day. Mornings can be hectic, especially when you’re trying to get the family out the door for school and work.  We think having a homemade microwaveable breakfast burrito is a great alternative to cold cereal. This type of breakfast can help keep those teenagers from stopping by a fast food establishment on their way to school.  Jeanne has some grandsons that love these and often snatch them at other times of the day. Like before a sport activity, piano lessons etc. There seems to be no filling those growing kids up! This idea really helps fill the bill and the belly! 

Scramble eggs with, green chilies and cheese or whatever your family likes, wrap them in a flour tortilla.  Fold all sides together and wrap in plastic wrap, then pile them into a gallon freezer bag and pop them into the freezer for another time.  When you want one or two, take them out of the bag and plastic wrap and microwave for 1-2 minute and off you go.

Other quick ideas for breakfast include:  Yogurt and a piece of fruit, cheese and tomato on an English muffin, a bran muffin and a banana or apple slices on cinnamon toast.

It is important to try and make sure your breakfast consists of some protein, a carbohydrate and some fiber to stave off the hunger monster before lunch.

A healthy breakfast can be prepared quickly, and gives the family time to sit down and have breakfast together. If you don’t have that luxury, have a grab-and-go.  There is still dinner as a family,  to look forward to.  

What tips do you have for making breakfast happen in your home? We would love your ideas. We are all in this together and a breakfast burrito is just one more way to help keep everyone full, happy and ready for the day!
