We are thrilled that our veggie burger of choice, and the #1 veggie burger in the USA, MorningStar Farms Veggie Burgers, are now available in Canada! As you all know, we definitely love eating meat (it’s pretty apparent after being on our Instagram feed for a couple seconds, haha!), but also love choosing meat alternatives to bump up our vegetable intake in a way that doesn’t compromise taste! We believe that the key to life is balance, and we like to try and go meatless at lunch and enjoy meals that include meat at dinner. It’s a great way to increase our fibre intake, and get creative with meals that we enjoy eating that don’t include meat. As long as we can fire up our grill, we’re two happy girls! These burgers are ready in 8 minutes on the grill, which is perfect for us since we can go from ‘not hungry at all,’ to ‘hangry’ in a matter of minutes (it’s true, unfortunately). They come in 3 kinds: Harvest Veggie, Spicy Black Bean, and Mediterranean Chickpea. Maddie’s favourite is the Mediterranean Chickpea, while Kiki’s is the Spicy Black Bean.
The main thing we love about these burgers, is that they’re not trying to be meat. At the end of the day, a veggie burger, no matter how similar, is never going to taste like a double beef cheeseburger. It just isn’t. But that’s why we love these veggie burgers - you can see actual pieces of vegetables in the patty, and the flavour is like a fresh garden salad. They’re light, and flavorful, and delicious. We love to coordinate what’s in the burger, with the toppings we’ll put on top. For example: the Spicy Black Bean burgers have whole corn kernels and pieces of jalapenos inside, so we like to serve these patties with sliced avocado, a cilantro-lime mayo, and grilled corn and jalapeno salsa – all on Texas toast for a Tex-Mex-inspired meal!
