We’ll get to those yummy make-ahead freezer breakfast burritos in a moment but first, let’s talk about the awesomeness of a clear protein drink that actually tastes good. While protein shakes are a decent way to get in some protein during a busy day, sometimes all you want is the protein and not a full meal (or a super thick drink!). That’s where Premier Protein Clear Protein Drink comes in. This light and refreshing clear protein drink supplies 20 grams of protein with zero calories of sugar. At only 90 calories a serving (a serving is an entire bottle!), this Tropical Punch Premier Protein Clear Protein Drink is a great way to stay hydrated and curb hunger throughout the day.

You can stock up on Premier Protein Clear Protein Drinks and other Premier Protein products at Sam’s Club stores nationwide. I suggest picking up a case, whipping up a batch of these make-ahead freezer breakfast burritos, and the patting yourself on the back for supplying your family with some serious protein power to help keep them going from morning ’til night.

Now back to those freezer breakfast burritos that are sure to change your life…or at least your morning routine. I’m definitely not the mom who gets up early to fix a hot breakfast for her kids before they head to school. My goal is simple: make sure we have enough milk on hand for making protein shakes, pouring over cold cereal, or cooling down microwaveable oatmeal. But while I’m not about to drastically change things up, I may slightly change things up by making sure we have enough make-ahead freezer breakfast burritos on hand for mornings when the kids are rushing out the door and cold cereal isn’t an option.

These freezer breakfast burritos are definitely going to become a new staple in our home…or freezer, rather. They were unbelievably easy to assemble and had a ton of flavor thanks to picante sauce, minced onion, and monterey jack cheese. Man, I love using monterey jack in Mexican recipes!

Make-ahead freezer breakfast burritos are also packed with protein thanks to the scrambled eggs and sausage, which makes them a pretty hearty on-the-go breakfast for kids and adults alike. My oldest, currently a sophomore in college, may have sent me a thumbs-up via Snapchat after eating one of these breakfast burritos for lunch the other day. Who says you have to eat them only in the morning?
