Beyond Burgers are a plant-based meat substitute, designed to look, taste, and cook like real meat. Yes, even the \u2018blood\u2019. While Beyond Burgers are generally considered to be a healthier option compared to traditional meat versions, they still contain a significant amount of saturated fat and sodium.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Beyond Burger website, a single burger contains 20 grams of protein and 18 grams of fat, including 6 grams of saturated fat. It also contains 390 milligrams of sodium, which is 17% of the recommended daily intake.<\/span><\/p>\n

While plant-based diets have been shown to have numerous health benefits, it’s important to remember that processed foods like Beyond Burgers should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. (It’s also a good idea to check the ingredients and nutritional information before making a decision about whether or not to include them in your diet.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that Mindful Chef has loads of healthy burgers you can sink your teeth into right here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For vegans and the vegan-curious, our <\/span>Jackfruit burger<\/span><\/a> even swaps the traditional bun for a pillowy portobello mushroom one – as do these <\/span>beef<\/span><\/a> versions. Try the <\/span>Smoky Pork <\/span><\/a>burger with Mexican flavours, or our mindful take on a <\/span>Lentil Burger<\/span><\/a> you\u2019ll be serving up with crispy carrot fries and a nutty tahini drizzle.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
