I am always busy so meal prep is a necessity in my life. I also hate doing the dishes every day, so if I can skip cooking on a daily basis, then I don’t have nearly as many dishes, yay! I make a recipe of vegan burgers every other time that I meal prep, and make enough for 2 weeks so I always have burgers in the freezer for a quick meal or even a snack. Snack? Yes, spread avocado and hot sauce or BBQ sauce on the patty and eat without the bun – perfect healthy vegan snack!
The burger base is made with walnuts and lentils for a tender burger texture and infused with liquid smoke, smoked paprika, and other savory spices for a smoky and satisfying flavor. Top this burger with any of your favorite toppings and enjoy regularly!
