I love burgers. In fact, I’d choose a burger over a steak if presented with the option.
Burgers can be a one-stop shop when it comes to getting all five food groups into one bite! Think about it…..
Protein.
Vegetables.
Dairy.
Bread.
Fruit.
Fruit?? Yes, fruit. Assuming you’re enjoying that burger with a slice of tomato, fresh avocado, or maybe a slice of grilled pineapple. So while many people may see burgers as a not so healthy option, I believe there’s a lot of potential behind this American favorite.
We have a lot of choices to make when it comes to building the perfect burger, so let’s make some good ones! Load up the patty with veggies, fruit, low-fat dairy, lean protein, and use a whole grain bun when possible. This is a dietitian saying there’s definitely room in the diet for a delicious burger!
