Yes, yes you’ve been told before. Breakfast eaters are typically healthy eaters and consume higher amounts of vitamin A, C, riboflavin, calcium, zinc, and iron. Eating breakfast can help with weight loss, muscle gain, and curb those snack attacks. But if I’ve learned anything from counseling nutrition patients, it’s that knowledge can only do so much towards change. Knowing something and doing it are totally different.
So for those of you with busy schedules (...everyone...), we’re here to support you in all your health goals with workouts and recipes that fit your life and tastes. Here are just a few of our healthy, delicious, on-the-go breakfasts to help you reap maximum health benefits.

Directions
Place the chopped potatoes in a small pot. Barely cover with water. Bring potatoes to a boil, then lower temperature and simmer for about 8 minutes until potatoes are tender, but still hold their shape. Drain the potatoes and set aside. Heat oil in a skillet and add turkey bacon, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté 1–2 minutes. Add potatoes and heat until they start to brown. Remove from heat and set aside. Mix eggs, egg whites, and milk in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper. Scramble eggs in a heated, nonstick skillet, being careful not to overcook. Remove from the heat and set aside. Assemble each tortilla with potato mixture, eggs, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Roll up into a burrito and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 2 hours, remove from baking sheet, and place in a freezer bag to store. When ready to eat, simply wrap a burrito in a paper towel and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes or until the center is hot.
