How to Maximize Your Burger Feast

How to Maximize Your Burger Feast

Grilling season is upon us, so it’s time to prep the patio furniture, fire up the barbecue, mix up iced drinks, and create extra special burgers without grains, sugars, and other unhealthy additives. Here’s my simple guide for a Maximized Burger Feast that your family and friends will enjoy while you maintain your Advanced Plan goals.

Start with a healthy replacement for hamburger buns, cook up nutrient-richer meat either grass-fed beef or organic turkey burgers, replace traditional relishes with salsa or guacamole, pile up lots of colorful organic vegetables, and top with simple sauces made from healthy oil bases to optimize taste and nutrients; you can even skip using ketchup or mustard. To add even more veggies to your burger, substitute the meat patties for Chickpea Sweet Potato Burgers, or Black Bean Sliders.
