One of my favorite things to do is create healthy and delicious recipes customized for my clients<\/a> based on their nutritional goals. I created these high protein veggie burgers for a vegetarian client looking for ways to incorporate more protein in her diet. After sharing this Mediterranean bowl on social<\/a> media<\/a> I received a lot of requests for the recipe. I love that so many of you have interest in plant based recipes, so here it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love these high protein veggie burgers for vegetarians, because they contain two sources of complete proteins AND vitamins that are sometimes lacking in a plant-based diet. A serving of these burgers contains 14.5 grams of protein and 88% of the daily Vitamin D and 18% of daily Iron requirements. All of that for just over 300 calories per serving size.<\/strong> Did I mention you can have 3 burgers per serving? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Enjoy These High Protein Veggie Burgers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These burgers make great leftovers to be enjoyed as a quick protein option throughout the week. I love them in a Mediterranean-inspired bowl like the one above. That bowl had a base of cauliflower rice with fresh basil, chopped cucumbers, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, and the lemon tahini dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, I also found myself grabbing one for a quick and balanced snack option to tide me over between meals. If you want to make them extra fun, try them in a collard green wrap! I experimented with that this week and loved the results. One collard wrap with chopped veggies, a burger, and lemon tahini sauce was a delicious snack and great combination of protein, carbs, veggies, and healthy fats<\/strong>. For a meal, I’d recommend enjoying a few. I tried the collard greens both raw and blanched for 20 seconds and both were good. Just make sure to shave down the tough stem before assembling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
