Today is National Hamburger Day. But, just because you follow a plant based diet doesn’t mean you can’t participate! Dig into some of the best and most delicious plant based burgers. And, satisfy any meat craving with these amazing vegan burger recipes!
Benefits of Vegan Burgers
Unlike meat burgers, plant based burgers:
- have no cholesterol
- contain fiber
- are better for the environment
- do not contain antibiotics or hormones
- are cruelty free
As with anything, premade plant based burgers should be eaten in moderation. However, homemade vegan burgers with mostly whole plant food ingredients are not only delicious, but good for your health as well!

I just made black bean burgers a couple of days ago and they were delicious! Black bean burgers, cucumber salad, and watermelon is one of my favorite summertime meals. 🌱
