Another vegan burger creation in the Goofy Foot Foods kitchen this week consisting of humble ingredients for an active life. I absolutely love making vegan burgers as a back-up plan for those busy days when meal planning is not on the agenda. Our Sweet Potato Burgers are easy-to-make and freeze nicely for up to month.
Versatility:
Veggie burgers are an incredible source of plant protein. They hold up nicely in just about any lunch box and can be eaten as a snack, salad topper, or with your favorite bun and toppings.
When snacking on veggie burgers, simply cut into wedges and top with a slice of avocado and hemp seeds. Quick, simple and delicious!
Note: I prefer the no-bun style of eating veggie burgers. Simply wrap your burger in some sturdy greens (romaine, kale, collards), and add your favorite condiments and toppings. This is a great choice for reducing calories and increasing nutrition.
Benefits of sweet potatoes:
Rich in fiber, high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and an excellent source of potassium, copper and manganese.
Lower on the glycemic index than white potatoes, making them a good choice for blood sugar imbalances.
