While there are tons of veggie burgers that do their best to imitate meat, the healthy burger options offered by Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods prove that vegetables can stand on their own—with a little help from some superfood grains.
The Kale Veggie Burger is unmistakably green, making it impossible to confuse for a traditional brown beef patty. Loaded with ingredients like sweet potatoes, corn, zucchini, millet and brown rice, this frozen burger does it all without any filler.
Another option from Dr. Praeger’s is the newly launched Super Greens Veggie Burger has a patty made from Swiss chard and the leafy turnip, mustard and collard greens. With only 100 calories per patty, the burger packs super dense nutrients with thanks to hemp, teff and quinoa. Sweetened with pieces of apple and spiced, meaty flavors will be long forgotten.
