I admit it freely. I am not a morning person. I don’t roll out of bed cheerfully in the morning, humming my favorite tunes, while preparing a lavish breakfast for the kids. Instead, I can be found downing caffeine and attempting to make the easiest breakfast possible before starting our day. The kids took after me and prefer simple breakfasts too. One of my favorite foods for breakfast is either smoothies or Breakfast Burritos (provided I don’t have to get up early to make them), so when I picked up a 12 pack bag of El Monterey Egg and Bacon Breakfast Burritos, ready to eat in 90 seconds, woohoo!, I knew what we would be having; Burritos and Smoothies. I prepared this amazing spring smoothie recipe that takes only minutes to make and, even better, the prep can be done the night before. Anything that makes my mornings easier are A-Ok with me.
And here is our Spring Smoothie, which met even the pickiest kid’s taste test. Want to make it for yourself? I’ve included the recipe below.
- 12 ounces frozen strawberries, bananas and mangoes, chopped
- 12 ounces vanilla yogurt
- 1 container (12 ounces) frozen apple juice
- Mix all ingredients together in a blender until smooth.
I enjoyed the Breakfast Burritos straight from the microwave, but the addition of some mild taco sauce made them even better. My kids have a sneaky way of getting me to cook for them. They claim they can’t prepare the food themselves because I “make it with love.” These breakfast burritos served only with our simple spring smoothies, is easy enough to fit into any hectic morning. Plus, I can still say it is “made with love.” It’s a total #MomWins moment!
And because I want you to be able to have a quick breakfast made with love too, I have a coupon for $1 off a package of El Monterey. Â Get social and Connect with El Monterey on their Website, Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest to find recipes and more.
Do you have a favorite to go to breakfast when you are in a hurry?
Those burritos look good. I don’t eat bacon though. I wonder if they have other kinds?
YUM!
That smoothie looks amazing! What a perfect way to start the day! Yummy!
What a delicious looking smoothie! I can’t start my day without one
I am such a huge smoothie fan right now. I love strawberries in just about everything too.
I love strawberry and banana smoothies but I have never added mangos, I am going to try that the next time as I love drinking smoothies at breakfast time,.
that smoothie looks so good!!! I will have to make this soon. I have been on a huge smoothie kick.
These look so great and that smoothie looks so refreshing! Yum!
Those smoothies look really really great. Makes me want one.
Ok – I am really loving the smoothie recipe, Pam – and I’ve saved the recipe! Never thought of doing it this way – thank you – my hubby has the Breakfast Burritos straight from the microwave several times a week!
Our breakfast on the go is typically a great smoothie. Alternatively with a bit of heads up, I’ll make egg and cheese mcmuffins.
This looks delicious. I would love to try it. I am not a morning person either and anything that helps me is welcome
YUM< smoothies and Mexican sound like a great idea! I would totally eat this for a meal
These sound good. I forgot to eat today. Who even does that??? My growling tummy reminded me while reading your post.
Im totally gonna recreate that smoothie! I am a smoothie junkie and this is right up my allley!!
My mouth is watering. I haven’t had a great burrito in a long time and those look pretty good. It’s already summer-like weather, the smoothie will be perfect.
These look delcious! Especially those breakfast burritos!
Smoothies and breakfast burritos … I can’t think of anything better to help you recover in the morning or at least get you going again 🙂
Those smoothies look so yummy. And I love breakfast burritos.
This recipe sounds tasty! I love adding yogurt to smoothies!
My middle child does not like to eat the same thing day after day, whereas my oldest could eat the same thing for a month. I’m sure these burritos would be a great way to mix it up!
Wow those breakfast burritos from El Monterey look delish and easy to make. I love smoothies in the morning, too. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I love breakfast burritos. These look good
I love a good smoothie and they’re a great way to get those fruits and veggies in.
We love El Monterey taquitos and I had no idea they make breakfast burritos too. I am all for easy breakfast or snack solutions like these!
These smoothies are perfect for enjoying in the spring. I love how fresh and light the ingredients are.
I love smoothies, smoothies are delicious. Strawberries are amazing when they are added to a smoothie.
My go to breakfast is a cup of coffee and a Quest protein bar. It gets a little boring after a while, however. This smoothie looks divine!
I just can’t wait to try this smoothie when we start grilling outside. Fruit smoothies are great for cooling off in the sun!
When I am in a hurry, I turn toward instant oatmeal. Super easy to make and fills me.
Those burritos looks so delicious! Also, I would love to try out that first smoothie!
What a great and refreshing smoothie recipe! I do want to add some blueberries to it. I feel like that would add a bit more berry to it which I love.
The burrito and smoothie are great breakfast ideas. I am all about a quick and easy breakfast.
I love breakfast burritos in the morning! But nothing beats a smoothie on a busy morning, yum!
That smoothie looks delicious! I wonder if I could substitute watermelon for the berries? Watermelons are HUGE in the south.
Yes, you could easily substitute watermelon for the berries.
My favorite go to breakfast is a frozen waffle or a burrito, but I’ve never tried these before. Thanks for the coupon – I’ll be headed to the grocery store today!
Most of the time it’s a smoothie only for me, but today I actually had cereal and banana which is rare for me, I usually like to just grab something super quick and GO! 🙂
My favorite go to breakfast is yogurt! I cannot eat heavy meals in the morning.
I am the same way, I need something light first thing.
That sounds delicious. It’s a great way to start the day off right 🙂
That’s how I like to start mine
