Sunshine Burgers sent me coupons for a few of their burger varieties that I hadn’t tried yet. I was so excited to find the original Quarter Pound, Falafel, and more. I’ve already done a short review on their newest Loco Chipotle burger, which you can find here on my blog. These burgers are all a great organic, gluten-free, soy-free and healthy option for when you want a burger with clean and tasty ingredients.

First, I’ll begin with the Original Sunshine Burger. This burger, luckily is already fully-cooked and browned so you just have to heat it up before eating. I made this burger for my mom on a whole grain bun, with lettuce, red onion, tomato, condiments and a pickle. She said this was really tasty and while it was an “indulgent” sort of meal, she still felt energized after eating it.

First, I’ll begin with the Garden Herb which is just one of the varieties I started out with. This one has a nice, nutty flavor combined with fresh herbs that goes great on a burger with tomato, avocado, red onion, lettuce, and condiments of your choice. These burgers are so natural that you can see the ingredients along with their green color within the patty itself!

The Garden Herb burger even makes a great “meaty” taco filling. Just crumble up the burger and sauté it in a pan with some avocado/olive oil, onion, garlic and bell pepper or other veggies and that’s it! This also happens to be a gluten-free and filling meal.

I really couldn’t wait to try this Mushroom burger. It’s funny that before going vegan, I couldn’t stand mushrooms. Now I think they add a nice flavor and “meaty”, chewy texture that is a great ingredient in veggie burgers. For another gluten-free option, I heated this burger in a pan with garlic and onion, stir-fried vegetables and rice seasoned with tamari sauce. This was super quick and full of good ingredients that most of us have on hand already. By the way, the mushroom burgers also make a fantastic actual burger if you want to try that instead.

No bun? No problem! The Barbecue burgers, which ended up being my mom’s favorite, make a great open-face burger on top of a bed of lettuce. The toppings included pickles, avocado, onion, tomato, ketchup, mustard and some Moroccan Fusion kraut from a local company. Just FYI, these burgers also great with some zucchini fries on the side.

Lastly, I was inspired by the Falafel burger to make a stir-fried rice with onion, veggies, rice and this Garlic Lentil Dip made by Hope Foods. This is a healthy meal option that’s also quick and super delicious. If you like falafel, I definitely recommend this burger that would also be a great addition to a wrap or sandwich with some hummus and veggies.
