Whip up this tasty breakfast egg wrap for a great refueling snack after exercising or a make-and-go breakfast on a busy morning.
Running has been on my mind a lot lately. After a somewhat uneven summer when motivation was at an all-time low (seriously, I don't think I could have been any lazier), I'm finally back on a four day per week running schedule. But now I need a kick in the butt to take things to the next level. I need a carrot in front of my nose. A goal. For me, that means signing up for a race. There's nothing like the fear of bonking on mile 10 of a half-marathon to get you out of bed for a training run!
Whenever I increase my mileage, one certain thing happens. I get really hungry, particularly after long runs. It's that dangerous balance of eating enough to refuel without clearing out the fridge. In theory, I know I need a combination of healthy protein and carbs to help muscles rebuild. In practice, 10 pieces of bacon sounds pretty awesome.
This breakfast wrap is a good compromise - a taste of bacon to satisfy the craving, a dose of my favorite veggie (mushrooms!) and a serving of protein and carbs in the form of eggs and a whole wheat tortilla. All with a calorie count that doesn't undo everything that I burned on the run.
This wrap is completely customizable. Prefer a vegetarian wrap? Swap black beans (or nothing at all) for the bacon. Mushrooms not your thing (gasp)? Use some red pepper instead. Mix things up to your heart's content.
Pack one of these wrap for an easy on-the-go breakfast, along with a Strawberry Smoothie.

Mushrooms are pretty much my favorite veggie too and I'm up for anything that's loaded with them! I'm not a runner but I have been working out more and I've been in need of "refueling" foods like these!
