Clean Eating Lunch Box Burritos Recipe

By

These clean eating lunch box burritos are a quick, easy-breezy  lunch any day of the week.

I know, a basic burrito sounds pretty lame. I mean, who can’t throw one of those together, right?

Well, this post is really more about an easy lunch idea that is great for stocking your freezer with for either kids or adults!

I kept this super simple because I figured, if anyone reading this is like me, school lunches sometimes happen last minute. Like 10 minutes before you have to walk out the door. So while this may take a little longer then 10 minutes to make, it’s even faster to pop one from your freezer into the microwave for 3 minutes to pop into that last minute lunch box.

FREEZER TIPS:

  • Freeze these separately, on a cookie sheet for about 4 hours first. Then you can pile them all into one bag or container to store in the freezer.
  • These will keep in the freezer for up to 4 months without losing flavor or too many nutrients.
  • To cook directly from the freezer, microwave for about 2-3 minutes on high. Flip over about half way through for more even cooking.

LUNCH PACKING TIPS:

  • Pack a warm burrito in an insulated lunch bag/box to keep it warm until lunch.
  • Pack a cold (from the fridge) burrito with ice packs on both sides.
  • Pack a frozen burrito with ice packs on both sides.

INGREDIENT TIPS:

  • I keep cans of clean, refried beans in my pantry at all times for quick meals. To heat them, add about 1-2 tbsp. of water to the pot with the beans to make them easier to stir.
  • Using cooked rice, warm it in a pot with a small pat of butter and a tiny pinch of salt for extra flavor.
  • Warm the tortilla by wrapping them in damp paper towels, then placing them in the oven or microwave (10-15 minutes and 2-3 minutes, respectively). This will make the tortillas easier to fold.

RECIPE TIPS:

  • Feel free to add other toppings, but first ask yourself if they will freeze well. Also, keep the additions in small portions so you can still wrap the burrito.
  • Pack this with a side of salsa or guacamole and some fruit for a complete lunch.
  • This recipe assumes your rice is already cooked. So if you don’t have any cooked, do that first.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems.

But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
