This is the beginning of a series I'm doing called Crave Busters! We all get craving that we know are bad for us, yet still, they are too hard to resist…darn! Fortunately for that, I will show healthy alternatives to fulfill that craving but still satisfy your palette! Today we are tackling the breakfast sandwich and burrito. It is so easy for us to just stop by a fast food joint and get breakfast on the go because it’s tasty, fast and convenient. Well the breakfast sandwiches and burritos I will show you are super easy and fast, and perfect for on the go! Most importantly, they are so much healthier for you than the delicious junk food JUNK! So you don’t have to feel guilty about it later, or have to work out harder just to clear your conscience…I mean, burn what you just ate…

The key secrets to making them healthier are:

♥       Substitute simple carbs with more complex and healthier carbs like wheat tortillas instead of flour (for the burrito) and wheat english muffins  instead of biscuits (for the sandwich).

♥       Try egg whites instead of the whole egg by removing the yolk. The yolk contains all of the cholesterol.

♥       Cook the eggs with cooking spray. It is so much better for you then cooking the eggs in oils, butter, or margarine.

Amazing right! You just cut a ton of calories and fat from your breakfast! Check out the video below to see how to whip them all together! Stay tuned while I tackle new craving and conquer them one by one!!!
