When sweet breakfasts don’t appeal, a Breakfast Burrito is a reliable alternative. It’s warm, filling and protein-rich, ideal for mornings when you need something more substantial to get through a busy day.
Wrapped tightly and toasted, this breakfast feels complete and portable, making it just as suitable for on-the-go mornings as it is for sitting down and eating slowly.

Why savoury breakfasts support better energy
Savoury breakfasts tend to include more protein and fats, which help stabilise blood sugar levels. This can reduce the likelihood of energy crashes and cravings later in the morning.
In this burrito, eggs and bacon provide satiety, while spinach and tomato sauce add moisture and balance so the wrap doesn’t feel heavy or dry.
