Happy mid week ya’ll!! I hope everyone has enjoyed their week so far! I have been quite busy working, creating, working out and working.. ha.  I don’t have a lot of time to write on this post to I apologize ahead of time for making this post super short, but I am sure you guys do not mind anyway.

So as you can see… I MADE VEGAN BURGERS!

They are so simple to make.  Have really staple ingredients.  Super delicious, and nutritious.  The best part is is that they only took me around 15 minutes to make (without baking time, of course) – I prepped the quinoa and potatoes earlier that morning while I was eating breakfast. So hint – being prepared is super key!

The idea to make burgers was inspired by a lot of my IG girlfriends, so check out my feed to see exactly which beautiful ladies inspired me to make a burger!

I also thought why not make a burger as it is almost BBQ season, and I know most of my veggie and vegan friends would love a recipe that they could bring a lot with them to a party or outdoor gathering.  This recipe is not just for vegans… it is dedicated to everyone trying to incorporate more grains, healthy carbs, and fats into their diets.  This burger is seriously delicious and perfect for people who prep their meals at the beginning of the week.

If you don’t want to slab this patty in between a bun (I used a sprouted seed bread bun) then do not! It tastes amazing with hummus, guacamole or even just a bit of tzaziki!

I really hope you all enjoy this recipe! Now I am off to the gym to get my booty poppin’!
