What about Boca Burgers?

What do I think about Boca Burgers?


BOCA MEATLESS BURGERS ROASTED ONION (NATURALLY FLAVORED)

Ingredients: WATER, SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONIONS, DRIED ONIONS, WHEAT GLUTEN, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF SALT, METHYLCELLULOSE, DRIED GARLIC, CORN OIL, NATURAL FLAVOR (NON-MEAT), YEAST EXTRACT, CARAMEL COLOR, SOY SAUCE POWDER (SOYBEANS, SALT, WHEAT, MALTODEXTRIN), SESAME OIL, GUM ARABIC, SPICE.


Personally, I feel that if you really wanted one that you could have one on occasion.  I do not consider these a health food.   First of all, they are processed and have some added oils that are not really on my list of great things to eat.  They also are high in sodium.   If you are trying to avoid eating meat then go to Bragg's website  http://www.bragg.com/.  She has some wonderful recipes for making your own veggie burgers without the extra things you will find in a Boca Burger.   If you just are looking for something different and not a vegetarian then try turkey burgers.  You can add all kinds of things to flavor the ground turkey. 

I did find some veggie burgers by Sunshine at Wholefoods and they do not have any extra ingredients.  I tried them but they are not part of my normal routine.  I do consider them healthier than a boca burger. 

Remember try to stick with things that you know what all the ingredients are and as close to unprocessed as possible.  But if you are choosing between McDonald's or a Boca Burger then the Boca Burger is an excellent choice! 

To your health,
