Best Frozen Veggie Burger
Are You Buying The Healthiest Frozen Veggie Burger?
I have a confession to make: I’ve been visiting the
frozen section of Whole Foods more often lately. I would have NEVER,
mark my words, found this new product on my own. I usually grab frozen
fruits, veggies and ezekiel bread and I’m out of there, not giving a
second look to all the pre-made foods available. My thoughts about the
freezer section at the grocery store have now been changed forever
thanks to Hilary’s Eat Well - The healthiest frozen store-bought veggie burger currently on the market.
Below is the full list of ingredients for all the Hilary’s Eat Well
burger varieties. As you can see, every ingredient is Food Babe
approved. The ladies at Hilary’s Eat Well
were already fans of Food Babe before they sent their burgers to me to
review, so they knew that I was not going to be an easy critic when it
came to the ingredients! Hilary’s Eat Well ingredients speak for
themselves, but were their frozen hockey pucks going to taste good? I
was skeptical at first. Sorry to call them hockey pucks, but let’s be
honest, that’s what frozen veggie burgers look like straight out of the
package, right?!
These burgers went fast in my house – the entire Food Babe team loved
them. They were so good, that I continue to buy them on my own and get
frustrated when they are out of stock. One of the problems that I have
found with various frozen veggie burgers, is the texture. Hilary’s got
the texture of their burgers perfect, with nice bites of bigger pieces
of vegetables and grains. The ingredients were not all mushed up into a
patty, if you know what I mean.
My favorite way to prepare them is baked in the oven, then garnished
with sprouts, avocado and tomato. You can also put the burgers in the
toaster, which makes them a great item to leave in the house for loved
ones who are slightly food-preparation-challenged, or for kids. I also
love that the microwave is “not recommended” for this product. (Just
another reason to throw out your microwave, right?)
Out of all the flavors I tried, Adzuki Bean, Hemp & Greens, and
the Original Veggie – Adzuki Bean is my favorite, with Hemp & Greens
as a close second. They also have a new “Root Veggie Burger” that has
an abundance of yummy root vegetables. I tried a bite of this at the
Natural Product’s Expo East show, and it is fantastic too. I have yet
to see the “Root Veggie Burgers” in stores, but when I do, I’ll
definitely be taste testing them more with all my favorite toppings.
Hilary’s Eat Well created a spin off product called “Original Veggie
Bites” too. These little bites of goodness are dynamite and are actually
perfectly sized for children. They are full of the superfood quinoa,
and other nutritious ingredients like coconut oil. They toast up to be
golden brown and are like the healthiest form of tater tots you could
ever buy. They are also really really good dipped in organic ketchup!
Hilary’s Eat Well is so skilled at making these bites perfectly crispy
on all sides.
Before I go, I just have to mention the care and attention this company gives to to their suppliers who source their high quality ingredients,
as well as for their support for GMO Labeling. Not only is this company
feeding the world the healthiest store-bought veggie burger, they are
also going the extra mile as an advocate to safeguard the food supply.
