Boca Burgers (original) Review

I gave up eating red meat several years ago, but once in a while, I get a craving for a cheeseburger.  That's where Boca Original Vegan Meatless Burgers come in.  Infamously known as the Boca Burger, this meatless soy protein patty is a healthy alternative to a fatty, calorie-laden, heart-clogging hamburger.

One Boca Burger contains only 70 calories, 0.5 grams of fat (zero trans fat), 4 grams of fiber, and 13 grams of protein.  Compared to a regular hamburger, that is a HUGE difference in nutritional value.

Boca Original Vegan Meatless Burgers are sold in a box of four individually wrapped burgers in the frozen section of most grocery stores.  The retail price is usually between $3 - $4 per box.  I always buy mine on sale.  

The company recommends cooking the frozen burgers in a nonstick skillet for approximately 10 minutes.  Being the impatient and busy mom that I am, I prefer to cook my Boca Burger in the microwave for less than two minutes.  It's convenient that my burger can go from freezer to microwave to my plate in two minutes.  Much faster than the drive-thru line and way more healthier!

Okay, so how does the Boca Burger taste?  It's pretty darn good.  The patty resembles a real hamburger, not a vegetable patty, and tastes like meat to me.  I add a slice of cheese and viola, my own healthy "cheeseburger."  I admit though, that I'm used to eating "fake" meat so I am accustomed to the taste of soy products.  For someone who is used to eating real hamburgers, the taste of a Boca Burger may be something that must be acquired.  

Boca Burgers are a healthy alternative to hamburgers and I recommend them to anyone who is seeking a nutritious burger.
