MorningStar Farms Tomato & Basil Pizza Burgers Review

The first time I made Morningstar Farms Tomato & Basil Pizza Burgers, I fell in love.  I've had veggie burgers before, but this was a completely different experience. 

They Smell Yummy!  Everytime I cook up one of these Veggie Burgers, my family members come in and say it smells good, am I cooking Pizza?  Yes they do smell like Pizza!  However when I tell them it's a veggie burger, suddenly they are turned off.  Even thought they think it smells good, they are still not willing to try it.  I wish they would because these are some of the best Veggie Burgers I've ever had.

They Taste Yummy too!  If they would just give it a try, I think they would see these burgers taste yummy too.  It starts out as a basic Veggie Burger, but then they mixed in mozzerella cheese, basil and tomatoes.  Once you heat it up, the cheese becomes melty like a pizza and the tomatoes taste more like tomatoe sauce.  The burger itself doesn't end up tasting like pizza, but instead taste like a burger with great pizza flavor.

These are so Yummy, I usually eat them plain.  The fact that these burgers have cheese, basil and tomato flavoring makes it easy for me to eat them right out of the box for a healthier meal.  I usually don't use a bun, and I never add Ketchup or Mustard.  There are other veggie burgers out there that I am always drowning in condiments because they are so bland, but with the Tomato & Basil Pizza Burgers, I don't need to add anything.

Healthwise, they aren't bad either!  1 Burger is 6 grams of fat and 120 calories.  Only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.  You also get 10 grams of protein per burger.  Since I eat 2 patties, I figure I'm getting a pretty decent meal with lots of protein and not that much fat or calories. If you compared this to a fully loaded burger with cheese, ketchup. sauces and a bun, I you'd end up with way more calories.  A BK Whopper, for example, is 680 calories and 40 grams of fat!  I'm sure home cooked burgers are healthier, but I bet they aren't as healthy as one of these Morningstar Farms Pizza Burgers.

If you are looking for a lunch that is filling and tasty, have a Tomato & Basil Pizza Burger today!  One with a bun, or two without a bun is a great filling lunch for me and leaves me with lots of nutrients and protein to go about my day.  I usually don't even eat a sidedish after eating these.  Check these out at your local stores today and enjoy!!
