My friends have read about the health benefits of reducing meat in the diet and want to support a more sustainable environment, but navigating the choices can be difficult, especially with picky kids. I&#8217;ve been recommending <strong>Alpha Burritos<\/strong> as I feel that they are not only convenient tasty plant-based options, but they pack a nutritional punch with 11 grams of protein. Their yummy burritos are also free\u00a0of GMOs, cholesterol, hormones, corn syrup, artificial preservatives, and all animal products.<\/p>\n<p>Although I personally still eat dairy and cheese, the cheese inside the Alpha Burritos is creamy and delicious &#8211; even the pickiest of eaters will love these!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10786\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/upclose.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/upclose.png 810w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/upclose-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/upclose-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/upclose-500x278.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alpha Burritos are available in four delicious, plant-based flavors: Mexicali, Fajita Chick\u2019n, Philly Sandwich, and Pizza\u00a0 \u00a0They are easy to microwave, or if you have a few extra minutes, it&#8217;s great to finish them off in a toaster oven or panini maker so the outside is just slightly crispy!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/alpha-burritos.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/alpha-burritos.png 810w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/alpha-burritos-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/alpha-burritos-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/stage.boredmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/alpha-burritos-500x278.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m super excited that Alpha Foods has come out with a new pot pie as well, so I&#8217;ll be on the hunt for those in my local markets.<\/p>\n<p>Alpha Burritos are sold in the healthy frozen foods aisle at Kroger, Walmart, Publix, Wegmans, Fairway Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, Fry\u2019s Food Stores, Safeway, Shaws, Albertsons, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, King Soopers, QFC, Dillons, City Market, Giant, and more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I removed meat from my diet about 20-something years ago.
