Burgers do possess a bad reputation, and that is quite rightly so because they induce fats in your body and increase your calorie intake. But, on the other side, the burgers can be HEALTHY!

Here are some of the healthy burger recipes that will amaze you!

This recipe is more aimed at people who want to find new flavor colors and formats. It is proven that we cannot stop thinking about traditional hamburgers, those that we can find in any fast food chain or local fast food store; however, when it comes to training we want to maintain our goals and that includes having a healthy diet.

“Only need basic ingredients and simple utensils. This will be your best healthy street burger choice”

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt, divided
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ cup crushed tortilla chips or panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup quick-cooking oats
2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro plus 1/2 cup, divided
1 large egg, lightly beaten
¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
½ avocado
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons water
4 cups shredded cabbage (green and/or red)
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 whole-wheat buns, halved and toasted

Directions

Step 1
Combine beans, half the garlic, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until all the beans are smashed. Stir in crushed chips (or panko), oats, pumpkin seeds, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and egg.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 portions, then shape into patties. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cooking.
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, the remaining garlic, yogurt, avocado, lime juice, and water in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in lime zest and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add cabbage and toss to combine.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 6 minutes. Turn them over, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until golden brown and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Serve the burgers on buns, topped with 1/4 cup cabbage slaw each. Serve the remaining slaw on the side.
