I\u2019ve been on a healthier kick this month, and a group of my friends joined an accountability group so we can make sure we\u2019re all working out and eating healthy. It\u2019s a great way to keep yourself in check and motivate your friends, while receiving some motivation yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve shared with you my\u00a0Freezer Breakfast Burritos<\/a>\u00a0before, but I made a lighter version for some easy grab and go breakfasts. If I eat a healthy breakfast it always sets me up for a better day. I eat healthier, make better choices and am more likely to work out when I\u2019m feeling full and fueled.<\/p>\n

This recipe follows my same basic Breakfast Burrito recipe, with just a few changes.<\/p>\n

Start with a few basic ingredients:<\/p>\n

\"breakfast<\/p>\n

I got some great organic Sweet Italian Sausage, Whole Wheat Tortillas, Eggs, Mushroom, Onions, Garlic, and Kale. And I had to include a little Italian cheese- you just can\u2019t have breakfast burritos without cheese. Just. Can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"chopped<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go ahead and chop all of your veggies. I used about half a container of mushrooms, sliced. Half an onion, diced. And chopped up about \u00a02 small cloves of garlic. I ended up cutting the mushrooms up a little smaller while cooking, so that they would be better distributed throughout the filling.<\/p>\n

I forgot to take pictures of the next step, but it\u2019s just like the other recipe. Cook your sausage, drain it, and then toss in your chopped veggies. I added the onions and mushrooms and then once they cooked for a few minutes, I added the garlic.<\/p>\n

Then I started grabbing handfuls of kale, ripping it into small pieces and cooking a little at a time. Kale cooks down a lot. So you add a handful, stir a few times, and it looks like you barely added any. Then you keep doing it until it looks like there\u2019s a good amount of kale in your mix. I used about half the bag by the time I was done adding it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"sauteed<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wish you could smell it- yum! I would, next time, tear the kale up a little smaller so you don\u2019t get huge bites of kale in some bites\u2026live and learn.<\/p>\n

While your mixture is cooling down, crack some eggs in a bowl. I normally do about 8-10 eggs. To make this version a little lighter I used 4 whole eggs and 6 egg whites. This was just about the perfect amount, because there is already a lot more going on in this filling, and I didn\u2019t want there to be too many eggs.<\/p>\n

\"eggs\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Add a little salt, pepper, and milk, and whip it good. Go ahead and scramble them to your liking in a little coconut oil spray. Then add them to your sausage mixture.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"filling<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go ahead and make sure you like your salt and pepper ratio while it\u2019s still warm. Let it cool down, and then you can start filling your burritos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"filled<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Add about 1\/3-1\/2 cup filling to your tortilla, and sprinkle with your desired amount of cheese. I used some whole wheat and some regular flour tortillas for my hubby. I bet it would be equally as good with some of the veggie wraps or other lighter versions. If you try it let me know.<\/p>\n

\"rolled<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then, roll them up. After I roll them, I roll them up in a paper towel and put them in freezer baggies. That way when you cook them, you can grab them each separately and they\u2019re already wrapped in a paper towel for microwaving. This recipe made about 17 burritos, so if you only eat one at a time (or 2 in my hubby\u2019s case) you get a good amount of quick on-the-go breakfasts.<\/p>\n

\"healthy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Toss them in the microwave, about 2 1\/2- 3 minutes for 2 burritos, and you have a delicious, and healthy breakfast.<\/p>\n

These were really good. And really filling. They totally start my day off right, and I feel like I\u2019ve eaten a complete breakfast, not just some bird food.<\/p>\n

What are some of your favorite healthy meals to start your day off right?<\/p>\n
