Morning Star's Spicy Black Bean Veggie Burger. After being introduced to these recently, I am hooked. Some say they enjoy other brands better, but this particular style I am a big fan of. So let's break it down ...Texture - Pretty smooth for a veggie burger in a potato type way. No interestingly firm matter that you aren't sure if it is an uncooked grain or some other "thing."
Flavor - Not too spicy (although I can handle and enjoy quite a bit of spice so my opinion may be slightly tainted), but some zest. Other flavors going on as well such a peppery, salt, slightly garlicky.
Size - Not a very big patty. About the size of a coaster. Not too thick either, somewhere between 1/4th and 1/2 an inch.
Cooking variation - I enjoyed it both microwaved only (cooks in under 2 minutes) and thawed then pan cooked. Warning, it cooks very fast in the pan!
Freezer to Plate Ready - 4 minutes with toasting bread.
After bulking it up with some protein enriched whole grain bread, lettuce smeared with hummus, and tomato it was a filling lunch just by itself.
An excellent protein to carbohydrate to fat ratio ...
Main Protein Sources - Bread (due to special brand), Beans, Hummus
Main Fat Sources - Olive Oil in Pan, Veggie Burger itself, Hummus
Main Carbohydrate Source - Bread
Pair it with a piece of fruit, nuts, seeds, etc. for a larger meal.
Other Daily Idea's .....
-Oolong tea - to help with digestion, plus a bit of caffeine for those of you looking for a slight mid-afternoon lift, minus the java.
Veg on Veggie Lovers!
