Buffalo Ranch Veggie Burgers + 8 Other Favorites

Ironically I posted my summer goal on Facebook the other day. Why so ironic? Because my summer goal is to exercise more and use social media less! Those of you who love my posts don't have to worry though, I'm still going to post about the same amount. BUT... I'm going to spend less minutes (hours) checking on who liked a picture or who commented in the last 90 seconds, etc... Truth be told, I'm kind of an addict. And if I add up all the time I waste glued to my phone and put like an eighth of that into intense exercise, I'd be so much healthier! Since I have a lot more time in the summer, it's a great time to start a new habit / lifestyle. So, I've joined a gym where I'll take actual classes and work with a trainer. All I do is show up ready to sweat and work hard, and they tell me what to do, lol!!

Introducing Buffalo Ranch Veggie Burgers:

This was my lunch after today's gym session, and let me tell you -- it totally hit the spot! 

They have:

  • sooooo much protein, it's crazy! (15 grams per burger to be exact)
  • great intense flavor
  • structural integrity

Top with avocado slices for some healthy fat and serve with homemade sweet potato fries, and you are talking one heck of a meal! Even my meat-loving hubby enjoyed these burgers!! #score

And if one awesome veggie burger recipe wasn't enough, I scoured the innerwebs to find the best of the best from other bloggers too!
