You want healthy, you want fast, you want something familiar...
A plant-based burger can meet all your requirements. If you make your own burgers you can even make it a 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹, as we did in this photo.
Our burgers were made with leftover Vegetable Explosion Lentil Dal that I strained to remove the liquid. I added cooked quinoa and garbanzo bean flour (If you don't know what this is, you've been missing out! It's a great flour for savory recipes. It's high in protein and fiber.)
I shaped them into patties and cooked them up. They were one of our favorite veggie burgers ever!
What makes this a 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹?
𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲se 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀:
1. They contain heaps of clean protein,
2. The high fiber content will nourish our gut biome of beneficial bacteria who will help extract more nutrients from our food, make happy hormones and neurotransmitters, and lower inflammation,
3. The macro-nutrients are perfectly balanced (for most people) 16% protein (12 grams), 23% fat, 61% carbohydrates,
4. It's nutrient-dense, meaning that per calorie it delivers crazy high amounts of vitamins. One patty is only 132 calories! Here are a few nutrient stats in US recommended daily allowances: 8% Calcium, 19% Iron, 15% Vitamin A, 244% Vitamin C, 29% folate, 39% Vitamin K, 33% Manganese, 20% phosphorus.
5. Add lettuce, tomato, fresh clover sprouts... and you add enzymes to support digestion.
We would have had a whole grain bun, but were in an Air BnB in a village in the Andes mountains and couldn't source all of our usual ingredients.
