Fueling Your Journey: Essential Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy and Postpartum Recovery… Breakfast Burritos!

Nutrition can play a huge part in our pelvic health especially for people who are pregnant and postpartum. There is so much information out there about what the ‘best’ way to fuel your journey is, however, it’s really dependent on the individual! There are a few common recommendations:

❤️Each meal and snack should have each macronutrient (protein, carbs, fat)
❤️ There are no good or bad foods, food does not have morality
❤️ Eat nutrient dense food as often as possible
❤️ You probably need more protein than you think
❤️ Eat for performance (this is more than sports or gym related… think about how your body and mind performs when fed well)
❤️ Nutritional changes could affect pain levels

Breakfast burritos are a great way to fit all of those recommendations!

❤️ Breakfast burritos have protein (eggs and chorizo), carbs (corn tortilla, veggies, salsa), and fat (guac and chorizo)
❤️ Burritos are delicious
❤️ All of the foods are nutrient dense

❤️ No headaches, pain, or energy crashes after eating the burrito
