Vegan Protein Burgers

Vegan Protein Burger | Neat Nutrition. Clean, Simple, No-Nonsense.

These vegan burgers are great for barbecues and so easy to make. You don't need any kitchen gadgets like a food processor, you can use a potato masher or your hands to combine all the ingredients.

Play around with ingredients if you wish, adding additional herbs and spices. Add, chilli for a bit of a kick, and if you want your burgers to have a Spanish twist, why not add some smoked paprika?  

METHOD:

    Pop the lentils and pinto beans into a large bowl and mash them using a potato masher (you don't want to over mash the ingredients so make sure to leave some chunky pieces).

    Add your protein powder and combine together using your hands or a spoon. Add the fresh parsley, onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper and mix together again (adjust seasoning if needed). 

    Make 6 balls using the mixture (the same technique as making meatballs) and shape them into burger patties. Place them onto a plate and put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes, this will allow them to firm up a bit.

    You now have two options - grill or bake. We grilled ours using a George Foreman grill for approximately 15 minutes or you can bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until golden. Alternatively, you can pop them on the barbeque!

    Serve in a bun or lettuce wrap with your favourite toppings.

    Remember: Placing the burger in the fridge before cooking is very important as they can become very sticky otherwise.

    Hi there I think it’s great that you give new customers a 10% discount on their first purchase but do you ever give regular customers a discount or after you’ve bought 4 you get 10 or 20% off he 5th or something similar?
    Thanks
