1/4 Pounder with “Cheese” Please (a product review)

 

 

I am in love.  Amy’s Quarter Pound Veggie Burger is perfect.  This is another winner from Amy’s. A brand I have grown to love, trust, and be constantly impressed by. Amy’s has given us a huge patty with intense burger flavor and organic ingredients, what more could a vegan girl ask for! 

People ask me all the time, “what is the best veggie burger?”  It is a hard answer considering there are so many.  Some burgers are really veggie patties not meant to imitate a burger, but to be a veggie style sandwich all on it’s own, think Dr. Praeger’s.  Some are trying to mimic the taste and texture of an actual beef burger, like a Gardein burger.  This Amy’s patty is kind of a cross between the two.  It really does have both a burger flavor and a veggie burger texture.  I am happy to say, it is in a class of it’s own. I would rank this #1 on my top ten! Just check out these stats below and see why.

Pretty impressive, right?  Other than being a bit high in sodium, I give these an A+. The size of this burger is perfect for feeding a hungry man, or a ravenous woman!  I like to have mine with the fixings on the bottom, and no bun.  I save myself a lot of extra calories and carbs.  I would rather enjoy them at another meal.  This burger is so outstanding, no bun is necessary to enjoy is fabulousness.  

Next time you are at the store, pick up a box, you will be happy you did.  These cost me $4.99 for 4, that is only $1.25 for a quarter pound organic burger!  You can enjoy this with a baked potato or homemade fries on the side and a dessert and still be under $2.50 for the whole meal.  Now that is a “happy meal”.

I hope you enjoyed the review. Thanks for reading!
