Are Veggie Burgers Better?

Veggie burgers are a great way to go meatless without having to sacrifice taste! Now, when I say "veggie burgers" I'm also including bean burgers and soy burgers.

I like the chipotle Morning Star black bean burgers at 210 calories per burger with only 7g fat - with only 1g of it being saturated. They are a little high in sodium, but with 17g of protein (from textured soy protein), they're still a great low-fat substitute for your everyday ground beef burger.

Beyond that, I'm not too schooled on the best choices out there....so, I turned to a taste test done by another great electronic newsletter I get, Tight Bod with a Pod. They based their top picks on taste and health (meaning low in sodium and sugar) Here is what they had to say.

VEGETABLE- and GRAIN-BASED:
•Dr. Praegers – California Veggie Burgers

•Morningstar Farms – Garden Veggie

•Gardenburger - Veggie Medley

•Sunshine Burgers – Original

•Amy’s Kitchen – California Veggie Burger – (low sodium version if available)

SOY-BASED:

•Boca- Go for the Vegan and organic version for less additives and non-GMO soy

•Morningstar Farms - Grillers Prime Veggie Burgers

So, try something knew this week and add a veggie burger to the menu!
