Healthy Kids Breakfast Burritos

This tutorial was nearly only 9 burritos because my little helper decided to eat as he helped. These are perfect for those mornings when you don’t have time to make something fresh but still want to send the kids off to school with something other than high sugared cereal in their tummies. These breakfast burritos are perfect for quick on the go mornings when you just need to get them out the door fast. We made our burritos in the school holidays and they last a good 3 months wrapped in the freezer before they start to look a little dry from freezer burn. I also microwave my burritos to defrost/heat them in the microwave as I can then leave them unattended, a few times I have cooked them in the pan, only to become busy looking for someone’s shoes or socks and burnt them.

You will need:

1 packet of 10 snack size tortilla wrappers (use wholemeal if you like)

1 cup of diced bacon or ham

5 slices of real cheese cut into 1/2 (not processed plastic)

5 eggs

3 tbs milk

1/4 cup of shredded spinach if your kids will eat it.

salt to taste.

This Burrito is created using chopped up omelette so that’s how we will start.

Start by mixing your egg, milk, spinach and bacon together. Pour into a hot oiled fry pan. I used two small pans to make flipping easy but that’s entirely up to you. You just need a thin cooked omelette that you can cut into 2 x 3 inch pieces (approx).

Once your omelette is ready cut into rectangles to fit down the middle of your burritos.

Layout your tortillas and add a squirt of BBQ sauce and a piece of cheese (kids love this job).

Add the egg pieces and then wrap up each tortilla by folding in the sides and rolling. Wrap with cling wrap and place into a freezer bag.

When you want to eat them, microwave for 40 seconds or toss them into a hot pan or sandwich toaster.

A quick, creamy breakfast with fresh fruit added on top

Smoothie bowls are one of those beautiful breakfasts that feel healthy and a little indulgent at the same time. Thick, cold, creamy, and pretty enough that you almost don’t want to eat them… almost.

The Ninja Slushie Maker takes all the effort out of it.
Instead of dealing with frozen fruit bricks or blenders that complain loudly, you simply mix your yoghurt base, chill it, and let the Ninja turn it into the perfect thick smoothie-bowl texture — no ice required.

If you are like me and come addicted to these smoothie bowls then you will want to invest in these double walled bowls, this is my favorite brand and these have been great.

Then you top it with your fresh fruit afterwards so the bowl stays thick, cold, and spoon-worthy.

It’s easy, quick, and a lovely way to start the day.

Why Yoghurt Works So Well in the Ninja Slushie Maker

Yoghurt freezes into a silky, firm slush — similar to soft-serve but healthier and lighter. Because the machine creates the icy texture itself (instead of relying on ice cubes), the mixture never becomes watery or gritty.

Just smooth, cold, creamy perfection you can decorate to your heart’s content.

The Basic Yoghurt Slush Base

Once you learn this base recipe, you can create endless flavour combinations.

Ingredients

2 cups plain or Greek yoghurt, chilled
½–1 cup milk of your choice (just enough to loosen the mixture)
1–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Method

Stir all ingredients together until smooth.
Chill the mixture in the fridge until very cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into the Ninja Slushie Maker.
Blend on the slush setting until thick, creamy, and icy.
Spoon into a bowl and add your fruit and toppings.

This base has enough body to hold granola, berries, and nut butter without sinking.
