Italian Bean Burger to Die For
With summer upon us, it is time to pull out the trusty grill and start throwing everything under the sun on. But, what do you BBQ if you are a vegetarian or vegan (hint: everything!)? Today I’m bringing you an amazing Italian Bean Burger from Beach Body that will leave the meat-lovers begging for more!
There has been an enormous shift in moving towards the “beyond meat” burgers in fast food and restaurants, but I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to hit the fast food line up in order to find a savory burger that is vegetarian-friendly. Gone are the days of the heavily processed “mystery-non-meat-meat” with a long list of heavily processed ingredients that you can’t pronounce. This Italian Bean Burger will fill you up and satisfy you, and is extremely versatile so that you can prepare it exactly the way you like it.
So, what are you waiting for? 😉
