They&#8217;re products that were <strong>created to be a replacement for traditional animal burgers<\/strong>. They have similar protein content, texture, smell, and even taste. Some of the meatless burgers taste very similar to real burgers (the Impossible Burger is the best in our opinion) and some aren&#8217;t the tastiest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veggie burgers are burgers <strong>made with vegetables\u2013typically mushrooms, beans, peas, and carrots<\/strong>. These burgers don&#8217;t have the same protein content as traditional burgers, but they are filled with real vegetables. Veggie burgers aren&#8217;t competing with regular beef patties\u2013nobody is going to be &#8220;tricked&#8221; into thinking that a veggie burger is a beef burger.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invited several meat eating friends over and grilled up several types of plant based and veggie burgers\u2013here is what we thought!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plant_Based_Meat_Alternatives\"><\/span>Plant Based Meat Alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-pin-description=\"Plant based meat vs veggie burgers\u2013which is best for you?

These burgers are the ones you&#8217;re looking for if you don&#8217;t eat meat (for whatever reason) but want a traditional &#8220;burger.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order of preference, these are the plant based burgers that we tried:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> Impossible Burger<\/strong> was the clear winner\u2013for taste, smell, texture, and ease of cooking. It tasted most like a traditional ground beef hamburger and didn&#8217;t have any smells that were off putting. If this burger sounds familiar, it&#8217;s because fast food giant Burger King uses this brand for their Impossible Whopper sandwich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>dr. Praeger&#8217;s<\/strong> was a good burger. We couldn&#8217;t pinpoint what the difference was between that and real meat products, but there was something small. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Beyond Burger<\/strong> is another popular option, but we think these smelled a little strange when uncooked and needed to be seasoned before putting them on the grill. When we have made chili with the Beyond meat, we could taste the difference in the end product. These are the most widely available meat substitutes, we have found\u2013Costco even has them.  The texture is pretty close to regular meat, but the smell was not great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>O Organics<\/strong> brand (from Albertsons stores) was our least favorite, but we all agreed that if it was the only option it wouldn&#8217;t necessarily be a bad burger. But since we had others to compare side by side, one had to come in last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Veggie_Burgers\"><\/span>Veggie Burgers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These burgers are made with vegetables. Like I mentioned above, there is no &#8220;tricking&#8221; someone into thinking that these are meat burgers\u2013they&#8217;re not. But they have a place, for sure, and can be delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We tended to like the burgers with actual chunky vegetables in them best\u2013some are pretty blended up and had a mushy texture when cooked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" data-pin-description=\"Plant based meat vs veggie burgers\u2013which is best for you?

This company has several great veggie burger options: Sweet potato and Mushroom are the other two that we liked. They&#8217;re full of chunky vegetables and feel satisfying to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>dr. Praeger&#8217;s<\/strong> Veggie burgers were delicious too! We really liked these, though they were a little mushier than the O Organics ones. They had chunks of vegetables in addition to blended vegetables to help hold them together. We really liked that they were thicker and hearty. They have a lot of different varieties in the stores too\u2013definitely a bonus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>O Organics Black Bean &amp; Veggie <\/strong>were good, but there is a definitely texture difference between a veggie burger and a black bean burger\u2013it&#8217;s more of a blended burger with a few chunks. There had to be a last place, but honestly I would eat these again for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"681\" data-pin-description=\"Plant based meat vs veggie burgers\u2013which is best for you?

While plant based burgers have less saturated fat than traditional meat burgers, they have a lot more ingredients. Some view this as less healthy. Again, it all depends <strong>why<\/strong> you&#8217;re looking to eat a plant based option\u2013are you trying to avoid heart disease, extra ingredients, meat? <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1618606888058\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What&#8217;s the best plant based burger?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When we grilled up multiple brands, the Impossible Burger was the clear winner because of the texture, color, and flavor. It was most like red meat. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1618606995385\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which is healthier\u2013plant based meat vs veggie burgers?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">True veggie burgers are made from vegetables and a small amount of binders. Plant based burgers are meat substitutes and often have a lot of manmade ingredients. I consider veggie burgers much healthier than any meat alternative\u2013plant based or made with soy protein. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1618607048871\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the healthiest plant based burger?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Again, this depends on why you&#8217;re eating the plant based burger and what type of diet you&#8217;re following. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1618607137134\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Are veggie burgers bad for you?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Veggies are never bad for you! If you&#8217;re looking for a way to get more vegetables into your diet, true veggie burgers are a great way to do that. Once you add in extra ingredients, preservatives, and meat substitutes, you start falling into a different territory with veggie burgers and can easily consume empty calories. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1618607147241\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the best veggie burger?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">We love the O Organics line of veggie burgers as well as dr. Praeger&#8217;s\u2013both use real vegetables and are delicious and colorful. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the best veggie burger or the best plant based burger for you really has to do with <strong>why you&#8217;re choosing to eat them instead of a real burger<\/strong>. I believe that eating minimally processed foods is the healthiest thing for any body, but sometimes this isn&#8217;t possible. I recently cut meat and eggs out of my diet for health reasons and have found that when I&#8217;m craving a hamburger, using a plant based burger as a substitute works for me. I only do this every few months, and feel good about eating them that often. I often make veggie burgers when my family has hamburgers for dinner, but since I like veggie burgers I don&#8217;t feel deprived when I do this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Looking_for_some_delicious_vegetarian_recipes\"><\/span>Looking for some delicious vegetarian recipes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/mycrazygoodlife.com\/vegetarian-mexican-casserole\/\">Vegetarian Mexican Casserole<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/mycrazygoodlife.com\/easy-black-bean-and-corn-salad\/\">Black Bean and Corn Salad<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/mycrazygoodlife.com\/vegan-pineapple-fried-rice-in-the-instant-pot\/\">Instant Pot Pineapple Fried Rice<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/mycrazygoodlife.com\/easy-recipe-for-calabacitas-tacos\/\">Calabacitas Tacos<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/mycrazygoodlife.com\/portobello-mushroom-fajitas\/\">Mushroom Fajitas<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being vegan, plant based, Whole Food Plant Based, or vegetarian can all mean drastically different things.
