Morning Star Veggie Burgers - PIZZA BURGERS!

In my "healthier" modes in the past, I was addicted, in a good way, to Morningstar.  The Asian and the Spicy Black Bean are my favorites.  They both have a lot of flavor on their own.  The Grillers are good if you are going to serve them like a burger but I thought they needed more doctoring than the other 2.  I love mushrooms and tried the mushroom lovers one and wasn't a big fan.  I never tried the pizza ones with "pizza" stuff... that would make sense and I bet I would like them more.  I had it in my head that they were "burgers" that tasted too pizza-y.  Definitely worth a try.

I thought the black beans one had a few too many carbs but I do have them on my list. The pizza one definitely wasn't too pizza-y, had good flavor. In fact it had a good flavor all on its own that I could eat one plain.

FYI, I am a vegetarian, so I have eaten these both before and after surgery.

In case it's helpful, I do want to point out that the Boca burgers (the ones that mimic a real hamburger), give you more protein and fewer carbs than Morningstar and Gardenburger. The vegan Boca patties have even fewer carbs, but don't taste as good.

Also, I can vouch for the Morningstar veggie meatballs--they're great with a little Pico Pica sauce.

The Morningstar veggie corndogs are awesome, but way too high in carbs and fats for me as a post-op. Maybe some day when I'm in maintenance.... :-)

I was raised on all things vegetarian.  I have had the MSF and the Loma Linda and Worthington foods my entire life.  I do love most, if not all of them, however, soy is not a good choice for women and now that I found out that MSF has GMO and that concerns me.  It's surprising since MSF is "trying" to be a healthy option for those of us who eat meatless.

I make my own veggie burgers with lots of nut meal and veggies and a little brown rice and egg.  They taste much better and I know I am not consuming GMO or Soy.
