Freezer Breakfast Burritos for Postpartum Moms




🌯 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.
