The California Veggie Burgers are the ones I picked first. I’m not sure why, since I’ve never even been to California (except for once when I was an infant and therefore have no memory of it). But they seemed like a good place to start exploring Amy’s burger repertoire.
I tried them cooked on the grill and then later in the frying pan. The grill dried the burger patty out more, which is a common problem for veggie burgers since they aren’t loaded with grease.

The taste is much more nutty and grain-y than any other frozen patty I’ve tried before. The vegetables are barely noticeable. The box says it contains walnuts, which you will definitely taste… and it’s vegan!
I really enjoyed this burger, and thought the nutty flavor made it very savory. It definitely tasted “healthy”, although it didn’t quite quench that craving for a really juicy burger that falls apart in your mouth. This one might be better crumbled up atop a salad than on a bun with lettuce and tomato (and sprouts and horseradish… mmm).

Yes, definitely not a bad one to keep in the back of the freezer for lazy evenings.

ReplyDeleteI'll pick up a box of those next time my grocery store has Amy's products on sale :)
ReplyDeleteLove Amy's burgers! But the Texas ones are the best!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've ever had Amy's burgers. I used to live on Gardenburgers...recently I got some Dr. Praeger's tex-mex which are really good!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check these out, Ali! I'd be curious to know what you think of MorningStar garden burgers -- just had one for dinner tonight and really enjoyed it!
