“The beet goes on with these Sweet Heat Beet veggie burgers that are loaded with six vegetables, and a blend of flavor that boasts a whopping 19 grams of plant-based protein in each serving. You can pair this with a salad, add it to a Buddha bowl, or just throw it on a whole-grain bun with a sliced tomato.” Bonnie Taub-Dix, R.D.N.

“When I was vegetarian, I really loved MorningStar Farms Garden Veggie Burgers. I liked the taste but recommended it also because of the amount of fiber and protein (six and 17 grams respectively). The one thing I wish was better was the sodium with 580 milligrams.” Alicia Jerome, R.D.

“A new one my mom and I have both tried and like is Foodies Artichoke Burgers in French Herb flavor. It is so savory! I like the short list of ingredients and the low sodium content at only 140 milligrams. I also like that cashews and artichokes are listed in the first three ingredients. The artichokes give it a nice texture, too.—Alicia Jerome, R.D.

“This one is made with organic vegetables. It has a slightly mushy consistency compared to Dr. Praeger’s. The ingredients are clean and recognizable. If you love mushrooms, you’ll enjoy the taste. I love that the ingredients are organic. Beware that Amy’s makes a similar one that is not ‘light in sodium’ so look for ‘light in sodium’ on the top portion of the front panel.” Layne Lieberman, R.D.
