Postpartum Burritos Recipe
If you have a tiny window of time, or if you have a friend asking how they can help, make something for the freezer like these Burritos. They live in the freezer and can be heated up in minutes. The wholemeal wrap provides starchy carbohydrates for energy, fibre from the bean, while the eggs and cheese deliver protein for tissue repair. The red bell peppers are packed with Vitamin C, which significantly increases your body's ability to absorb the plant-based iron!
