Choose Organic Veggie Burgers For Healthier Meals

By Scott Morris


Changing eating habits is normally the first step to better health but most people wonder if they really have to give up the foods they like. Depending what needs to be accomplished, it does not have to be this way but there is a happy medium. Anyone can enjoy their fast food favorites by having meatless hot dogs or sausage links, as well as organic veggie burgers.

This is something that dieters and others looking to convert their poor eating habits should have in their refrigerator. The reasons are very simple. Most foods that are natural or organically grown should be a staple in any diet. These staples also ensure that a person has the right amount of vegetables and grains in their meals.

Many vegetarian burger patties are made from a protein base that acts as a binder for chopped or minced fresh vegetables that may include leafy dark greens, carrots, onions, and sprouts. Grains may include brown rice, quinoa, or barley. Most organic brands try to include as many vegetables as possible and fewer starches, like potatoes, which do not offer the same fibrous portion.

These products can be prepared just like the meat products but what most people like is the time it takes to cook. Many of these can simply be heated in a microwave for a few seconds. For those who like to cook on high heat, use caution when trying to get crispy edges since there is no animal oil to lubricate the filling and it can easily become inedible.

Since sandwiches are generally considered to be fun food, some wonder how they can keep the healthy momentum going. One way would be to include a green salad with as many crunchy vegetables as possible. Instead of croutons or cheese crumbles, try chopped multicolored bell peppers. Although fried green beans do not pack the same nutritional punch as a cup of steamed kale, vegetable slices lightly cooked in tempura batter is better than greasy fries loaded with salt.

The great thing about this lifestyle is that some will stay at their same goal for months or even years before going full vegetarian. However, some who may see the results of weight loss may be inspired to increase their meatless days gradually. On days when they have a traditional burger craving, they can try the vegetarian version and discover something that not only tastes great but is healthy.

For those who want to start small, they should go small. Organic cereal, eggs, or even dairy milk are inexpensive foods that can be compared to the nonorganic versions. Then it may help to increase vegetable portions by adding a green salad to all meals or buying fresh instead of canned. Sometimes, making gradual changes makes the transition much easier, especially if they can see the results when they get on a scale.

For those who like to think out of the box, it may help to choose fewer shelf stable products or look for places that sell organic for less. Many supermarket chain brands are priced considerably less than most premium brands but the taste may require a little creativity. Quality condiments or premixed seasonings are a quick solution for those with limited time in the kitchen.
