🌯 Freezer Breakfast Burritos for Postpartum Moms
⏰ Why Burritos Save Postpartum Mornings
During the first 12 weeks postpartum, 78% of moms skip breakfast due to exhaustion (NCT survey). These freezer burritos provide 22g protein in 2 minutes – crucial for milk production and stabilizing blood sugar during sleep-deprived mornings.
💪 Key Nutritional Benefits
Each burrito delivers triple recovery support: Eggs and black beans for iron/protein, spinach for folate, and flax seeds for omega-3s. The whole wheat tortillas provide sustained energy without blood sugar spikes.
