Healthy Chicks

I get it, you’re busy & don’t have time in the morning. (Who does these days?) But that doesn’t mean you’ve gotta settle for a leftover cookie, OJ from the office vending machine or a plain bagel with cream cheese for your breakfast of champions. We all know that processed, high-sugar, packaged meals don’t quite serve us so well – especially when we rely on them to fuel our energy.

But what are we to do when we’re on a time crunch? Trust me, I don’t like spending an hour on breakfast either. Um, we have lives…I totally get it!

That’s why I’ve come up with a variety of go-to meals that are quick, easy and nourish me all in one. Know that your perfect breakfast will be different than mine, as we are all different and what works for one may not work for another. (This is something I work on further with my private clients!)

But that being said, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite breakfasts when I’m pressed for time. Enjoy!

The Mexi Breakfast Burrito {Gluten Free & Dairy Free}

What Ya Need:

• 1 brown rice tortilla wrap (I buy mine at Trader Joe’s & also like the Food for Life brand)
• 2 eggs (organic, cage-free & local if possible)
• 2 TB fresh salsa
• 1/2 avocado, diced
• handful of fresh greens (spinach, collards, kale or arugula)
• few shakes of nutritional yeast
• salt & pepper to taste
• coconut oil

1. Heat a medium saucepan with coconut oil and sauté the greens until just slightly cooked. Add in eggs & scramble.

2. Heat tortilla in toaster oven for just a minute, or until soft (but not crunchy). Stuff tortilla with  egg mixture & avocado. Then top with salsa, nutritional yeast and salt & pepper to taste.

3. Wrap it up & enjoy!
