Gardenburger Hamburger Style
Keep the taste of a good, old-fashioned burger, but forget the worries with Gardenburger Hamburger Style or Hamburger Style with Cheese soy patties.
A cheese-free Gardenburger has 90 calories and no fat. The with-cheese version has 110 calories and 2 and half grams of fat (just 1 and a half of them saturated). The same-size burger made with typical "lean" ground beef contains 13 grams of fat, five of them saturated. And you'll get no fiber or phytochemicals to cut the risk of cancer.
The new Gardenburgers' sodium (about 380 milligrams per patty) is higher than fellow wanna-beef Boca Burgers (about 300 mg). And the taste is a little less beef-like.
If imitating beef isn't your thing, try Original Gardenburgers. They're mostly made of mushrooms, brown rice, onions, low-fat cheese, and rolled oats, and they taste delicious in their own right.
