Meatless burgers or meat burgers? 🤔⁠ ⁠ Here

Meatless burgers or meat burgers? 🤔⁠
⁠
Here at BurgerFit, it's obvious that we love burgers! 🍔 Over the years, there have been many new versions of meatless, veggie-based burgers that have developed as meat alternatives. But which one is better?⁠
Like most, they each have their pros and cons. ⁠
⁠
Meatless burgers contain less fat and more fiber but are usually higher in sodium and slightly lower in protein than beef burgers. Meatless burgers are made of plants — grains, legumes (like soy and lentils), and a variety of other vegetables. ⁠
⁠
Meat burgers, whether turkey or beef, contain less sodium and often more protein than veggie burgers. However, they are higher in saturated fat and hardly ever contain fiber. Beef contains essential nutrients such as B vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc.⁠
⁠
We like to eat whole, real foods while limiting as many processed foods as possible. But of course, everything in moderation! Just remember - any burger is a lot more than the patty. It's important to pay close attention to nutrition labels when choosing the best one for you! ⁠

🌱 Sprouted salad made with @sungarden.fresh.living sprouts, fresh veggies, @koopsmustard dressing, and feta cheese 😍⁠
🍔 BurgerFit burgers made with @koopsmustard (and more on top!) + BurgerFit smoked salts 😋⁠
⁠
Not only is this weeknight meal super easy to put together, but sprouts are also a great way to provide some extra nutrients for your picky eaters! ⁠
⁠
Sprouts are extremely nutrient-dense because they are harvested during their germination process when all that nutrient goodness is concentrated in the plant! Just think, if those sprouts would continue to grow, they would grow into entire plants, like broccoli, radishes, beans, and more! So eating them when the plant is small and young (the sprouts!) gives you a whole lot of nutrients in just a small bite. ⁠
⁠
That's why we love serving sprouts to our LO's. They are small and cute and can easily be covered in a dressing or sauce to give them a yummy flavor.⁠

When we hear it's #nationallasagnaday, we immediately pull out our BurgerFit Un-Lasagna recipe 😍⁠
⁠
What is un-lasagna!? We call it un-lasagna because it's not made like your traditional lasagna. ❌⁠
⁠
This veggie-packed version is gluten-free, using eggplant medallions instead of lasagna noodles. The eggplant medallions are layered with spaghetti squash, BurgerFit burgers, cheese, and topped with marinara sauce! 😋⁠
⁠
If your kids are hesitant to eat their veggies, try introducing these veggies to them in this un-lasagna recipe.⁠
⁠
A family-friendly dinner that will have your whole family eating their veggies! 🏆⁠
⁠
Get the recipe👇⁠
⁠
-2 tbsp Cooking Fat⁠
-Salt (to preference)⁠
-Pepper (to preference)⁠
-1 Eggplant sliced into 1/4 inch discs and roasted⁠
-1 Spaghetti Squash roasted⁠
-1 cup Marinara Sauce⁠
-1 cup Grated Cheese (Feta, mozzarella, gouda, or aged white cheese work great!)⁠
-2-3 BurgerFit Burgers cut into bite-sized pieces ⁠
⁠
-Cut spaghetti squash in half crosswise. Scoop out seeds and discard. Add to glass baking dish and roast at 400 degrees for 40-60 minutes. You should be able to stick a fork through the inside when it is ready.⁠
-While squash is baking, slice eggplant into ¼ inch disks. Using a baster brush, coat entirely with cooking fat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to preference. ⁠
-Add eggplant slices to a 9X11 glass baking dish and put them in the oven. Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through.⁠
-Remove spaghetti squash and eggplant from the oven when finished. Using a fork, shred and scoop out the spaghetti squash.⁠
-Layer 9X11 glass baking dish with eggplant slices. Add a portion of spaghetti squash to each disk. Add BurgerFit burgers, marinara sauce, and cheese to each eggplant disk. ⁠
-Put back in the oven for about 5 minutes, letting the cheese melt and bubble. ⁠
-Remove from oven. Serve the individual eggplant disks, or cut how you would normally.

How brilliant is this snack idea from @itsthecardamom!? 🤩⁠
⁠
These banana strawberry 🍌🍓 "sushi" rolls are fun, adorable, and are great for packing in essential nutrients for our kiddos! If your kids are old enough, they could easily help prepare them in the kitchen and would have a blast doing so! Perfect to stick in lunch boxes as we get ready to head back to school soon. We dare you not to pop one in your mouth before they're all made! 😋⁠
⁠
Ready to make this?! @itsthecardamom explains how to prepare this tasty snack below!⁠
⁠
Here's how to make the roll 👇🏽:⁠
🍓 Spread the nut 🥜 butter thinly across the entire tortilla⁠
🍓 Sprinkle chia seeds over your nut butter spread⁠
🍓 Place the whole banana 🍌 at one end of the tortilla ⁠
🍓 Place sliced strawberries in a row next to the banana⁠
🍓 Roll, slice into age-appropriate pieces, serve, and enjoy!⁠
