When I recently made my first Beast Burger purchase at Republic of V in Berkeley, the cashier made a comment about how much these were like McDonald’s hamburgers. I almost put them back and didn’t buy them because of that comment. I don’t eat veggie burgers because I miss meat, I eat veggie burgers because they are a good source of protein! And I never liked McDonald’s hamburgers. In fact, I think the last time I had one was probably around 1997 and I felt sick for the entire day after eating it.
I am so glad I did not put these back. These are tasty and packed full of protein. My veggie burgers are usually eaten bun-less with a side of mustard, so they have to be good. No hiding behind a carb-filled bun in this house!
Oh, and the website says beast burger “features the Beyond Nutrient Pack™ which aids in muscle recovery” … I may have just found my new go-to food for post run recovery. The last really high protein burgers I tried were Dr. Praeger’s from Costco, and I really hated those. These are much better, I just hope I can find them locally.
Check Whole Foods – they are starting to carry more and more Beyond Meat stuff. I probably would have put them back ;p Gross! Glad they worked out though, maybe I should give them a try. I tend to stick to “burgers” that don’t taste like meat too. My fav right now is Qrunch burgers.
I’ll have to check those out. I really didn’t think Beast Burgers tastes like real meat at all. Just like a really dense/compacted veggie burger. I looked at Campbell WF and they didn’t have it, but they did have the ground / crumbles that you posted about, so I picked up some of that!
