👍 Vegetables shouldn't apologize for being what they are: delicious in their own right.

I was raised vegetarian and always enjoyed a good veggie burger. But then all of a sudden all the restaurants and grocery stores replaced the veggie burgers with the Beyond Burger type patties - they are so gross to a life long vegetarian because they're too much like meat. I actually DON"T want my veggie burger to be just like a beef burger. They're great for people that are trying to transition to plant based, but awful to many life long vegetarians like me. So I'm glad to see there are still a few 'vegetable' options available. I'm in Canada, though, so there are less choices here in the area I live in.

I've been a fan of Morningstar for a long time. They have one called "Grillers Prime", 4 patties for around 5 bucks. I use the toaster oven until they are crispy, add soy sauce & they are amazing to build a sandwich or serve with rice or pasta. Also zero greasy clean up

More of these videos please! I love the unfiltered opinions!

I'm veg and have tried pretty much every veggie burger going over the years. I like many of them. Oddky, I was OBSESSED with the Morningstar Farms Mediterranean burgers for ages, but thought they'd been discontinued. I cook them in the air fryer, and rarely eat them like a burger on a bun with all the fixings. As I recall, the pieces that you disliked that are whole are chickpeas. Love them so much that I actually called the company to beg for them to come back. 😂😂😂

I love the spicy black bean burgers. They’re great to chop up and put in a burrito or taco for an easy dinner.

I make this black bean burger recipe and always get rave reviews. He’s the recipe which makes 4 burgers:

1 can black beans, partially drained and mashed with a fork
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
Couple dashes of cayenne pepper

A - Morning Star Farms Spicy Black Bean !
It's my fav & in my freezer right now!
It's a great add on to Pasta or Soup too!
I've been eating Morning Star Farms foods for DECADES! Amazing!🤩

I actually love the Dr. Praeger's California Burgers. They are sold at Costco and are just wonderful!!!

[fyorarules]

Great timing for this video! We’re usually a MorningStar veggie burger family but we just got the Dr. Praeger ones from Costco and I was worried since we haven’t tried them before but I’m glad my favorite reviewers gave a different flavor by the brand a rave review 😊

I LOVE BRIDGET !! She has the ability to literally bury a product for being so bad while being classy and sugarcoating it. "Its pretty tasteless and that might be the best thing about it". 😂

Please make more contents about vegan foods 🤤

Thank you for doing this, I am so tired of my only options at burger places to be either a mushy black bean patty or a deceptive (and usually gross) fake-meat burger

I am not a vegetarian, but I have loved Morning Star Farms products for years.

Morning star spicy Black bean for the win. Been doing those for decades. Awesome for weight loss, as only 100cal or so per patty, and every time I eat one, am not hungry for 4-5 hours, as the fiber, etc are filling. Use with your favorite keto bun or homemade ketoFlatbread, then add cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, bacon.
Always floors people who ask what I ate to lose weight- bacon cheeseburgers!

The spicy black bean burgers are the bomb! The breakfast sausage they make is great too. Morning Star Farms

Taste is important, but so is nutrition. After being diagnosed with diabetes about 30 years ago, I found a Subway turkey sandwich with no cheese or condiments, which has about a 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein (in grams), didn’t make my blood glucose spike. So I have used that as my “golden” ratio ever since. The Actual Orange patty has a 28:6 ratio, while the Dr. Praeger’s is 18:2. Add a bun with 25 to 30 more grams of carbs and minimal protein, and I would need a nap after eating either of those burgers. The MorningStar Farms patty is better at 15:9, but still wouldn’t make the grade with a bun. I have not done extensive research, but Trader Joe’s Hi-Protein Veggie Burger at a 12:26 ratio is the only one I have found that can be paired with a bun and not put me directly to sleep.

I grew up eating the Morning Star Farms Veggie products.
Grillers, Bacon Strips and Sausage Patties are a staple.
In the early 80's, I had the opportunity to try veggie BLTs, battered and fried Veggie Scallops, Grillers, of course, and I think I even tried veggie ha, all from Morning Star Farms.
I'm not sure how good it is for you, but it is often a welcome change from a carnivore diet.

In addition to this, ATK has a killer recipe for beef & mushroom blended burgers that's great if you're trying to reduce meat consumption but aren't sold on veggie burgers.

Aldi has some really impressive veggie burgers. They come out to a little less than a dollar a piece and they’ll come out with different flavors once in awhile.
