Burgers

To Make Burgers:
Burgers: Make the World’s Most Super-Nutritious & Delicious High-Protein, Nutrient-Dense Burgers!
Burgers may just be the most “American” food on the planet. Of course there are HUGE problems associated with real hamburgers including serious health, ethical and environmental concerns. Many health-conscious individuals who also enjoyed the hamburger experience have shifted to various veggie burgers. There are a number of different versions on the market made from things like soy, wheat, beans, etc., now there’s a version that you can make out of Superfoods!
Making Superfood burgers is very similar to making Superfood Bites, Cookies, Brownies, Blondies, Bread, Cake, Muffins, etc. It is probably closest to making a combination of Cookies and Pancakes.
Simply mix Superfood Protein Mix &/or Superfood Macaroon Mix with water to form a nice thick batter;
Use a large scoop or your hands to form a round ball or blob of the resulting mix and place it on a piece of parchment paper, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or a silicone pad on a firm surface;
Flatten the ball or blob out using your hand, a spatula, or a plate;
Use a utensil or your hands to even out the edges and pack them in slightly (basically the same way you’d make a burger from ground meat);
Allow the patty to sit for several minutes so the fiber will absorb the moisture causing the patty will firm up;
Place the patty in a pan, on a griddle or a grill and heat it as you would any burger;
Remember that there’s no need to cook it all the way through, in fact we recommend that you just brown the surface and warm it up;
Alternately you can bake, broil or dehydrate the Superfood Burger; Baking or broiling times will vary but at 300 degrees it will take about 10-15 minutes to bake whereas dehydrating will take about 2-4 hours depending on how moist or dry you want it to be;
Avoid overcooking as it will dry it out like any other food;
When ready, add whatever accoutrements that you like on hamburgers to your Superfood Burger.
Be sure to use butter, oil, or cooking spray on the pan surfaces to keep it from sticking.
Burger Recipes:
Follow the above steps using the following ingredients:
2-3+ cups of either Naturally Sweetened-Unflavored or Unsweetened-Unflavored Superfood Protein Mix (Superfood Macaroon Mix also works great for burgers, however, there are no unflavored versions (so you’ll likely choose a Coconut Almond Burger if you go that route).
The Unflavored versions allow you to shift to the savory flavors (unlike virtually every other recipe we have which tend toward sweeter items);
Optional: boost protein by adding a scoop of P3 or P4 per cup of mix used (obviously one of the unflavored will work best if you’re going to go savory); another option to boost protein is to add one or more eggs to the mix (for those that eat eggs);
Optional and recommended: Add ½ – 1 shredded carrot per cup of CMM:SF+P used;
Optional and recommended: Add ½ – 1 shredded zucchini per cup of CMM:SF+P used;
Another Option if you’d like to add more slow-burning carbs: ¼ – ½ cup of oats per cup of mix used (be advised that oats are not Paleo);
Seasoning: Add your favorite savory seasonings to the mix;
Mix thoroughly adding just enough water to allow you to mix it into a thick paste-like dough;
Form burgers per the guidelines above;
Grill, Griddle, Fry, Bake, Broil, or Dehydrate depending on your preference;
Add whatever additional accoutrements that you’d like (sliced tomato, spinach, lettuce, onions, mustard, ketchup, pickles, etc.) and enjoy;
As with any burger you can simply eat it as is on a plate, on a bed of salad or veggies, or on a bun.
