Try Frozen Vegetable Burgers As A Meal

By Maria Hill


Often people are programmed to think only foods that are high in calories and fat taste good and everything else is just good to eat every day. What they may not realize is the happy medium that comes when a couple of ingredients are replaced with something healthier. This is the case with frozen vegetable burgers and other meals that eliminate the need for meat.

These have improved greatly in recent. There are many varieties and textures that taste just like meat or pack enough flavors so the meat is never missed. The other advantage is that these cook faster than meat varieties and can also be placed on a grill for smoky flavor.

Often grains or proteins may be included to give it more texture. To make it the perfect entree, vegetables that are dense or large, like squash, may be a main part of the ingredients. It is common to have concerns about nuts or how it is produced so it is best to read packaging contents before purchase.

Back in the day, most frozen entrees were laden with chemicals that helped extend the shelf life for months but the taste left something to be desired. Eating foods that are processed naturally not only taste better but are best for daily consumption. Many vegetarian food manufacturers operate by this standard because they want to ensure that their products are tasty every time.

These vegetarian burgers are just as versatile as meat versions. Top with favorite condiments, cheese or vegetarian style deli meats for a combination that only tastes sinful. There is also no rule that vegetables like lettuce, pickles and onions cannot be added for enhanced flavor.

If one has doubts about trying vegetable burgers, they should try a variety that contains their favorite ingredients. From there, they can prepare it the same way they would fix a burger patty made from beef or poultry. They may find that it would taste better sauteed in a pan or over an open fire. While baking is the least fattening method of preparation, sometimes cooking with a light coat of oil that does not burn quickly.

Once a person has a favorite flavor and cooking method in place, they can cook the entire package. This is recommended for those who may be tempted to eat out for lunch, or on the road when coming home from work or school. It takes less than a minute to heat in a microwave or place inside a toaster oven on medium high heat for less than 10 minutes.

Ideal sides are green salads, mushroom or zucchini fries. Fried sweet potatoes are becoming a healthier alternative to fried white potatoes because of their fiber content and higher levels of antioxidants. If a person is looking to cut fat or caloric intake, they could look into new ways to prepare vegetables, such as using less oil or adding a reduced fat cheese as a topper.

This type of eating has many health benefits and is easy on the wallet. Preparation is easy and there are not as many long term risks that are brought on with ongoing meat consumption. On a final not, it proves that anyone can enjoy their favorite foods without the guilt.
