]]> The days when veggie burgers didn’t hold a candle to regular burgers are long gone. Sure, a meat burger is a meat burger, and there’s only so much you can do to replicate it without using meat. However, in recent years, meatless burger companies realized something. Instead of trying to completely replicate burgers, they could make meatless burgers that are unique in their own way. Here are three meatless burger brands that did just that.

Lightlife

We thought we’d kick things off with a brand that’s less well-known than its counterparts on this life. Lightlife isn’t as popular as some of the big dogs, but it’s on the rise, and for good reason.

Impossible Burger

There’s a reason that when you walk into most restaurants, there’s usually an option to buy an Impossible Burger. That’s because they make some of the best meatless burgers in the world, which offer a powerful blend between a meat-like flavor and a healthy finish.

Beyond Meat

The other popular brand in town is none other than Beyond Meat. They too are world-renowned for their ability to craft delicious patties that have absolutely no meat in them, making for a tasty meal that’ll leave you feeling energized afterward.

]]> Veganism and vegetarianism is one of the most prevalent trends in the world today. Whether a person chooses to do it because they care about animals or whether they simply can’t stand eating meat, it seems like vegetarians are everywhere you look. As the trend has evolved, so have the products supporting it, such as veggie burgers. This particular meal has gotten pretty popular, and here’s why it’s one of the best meals you can eat.

The Best of Both Worlds

What’s the biggest complaint when it comes to red meat? It leaves you feeling absolutely wiped when you’re done eating it. But when it comes to veggie burgers, you don’t have that feeling. In fact, you feel pretty healthy and rejuvenated.

We’re not here to pit one against the other, because they both have their benefits. But some veggie burger brands such as Beyond Meat have truly come into their own, producing a patty that is tasty, filling, and gives you more energy instead of sapping it away.

Of course, some veggie burgers are better than others, and it’s up to you to find the one that you enjoy most. But in general, a veggie burger is one of the most well-rounded meals you can eat.
