Verdict
Dr. Praeger's Super Greens Veggie Burgers are pre-formed patties featuring a blend of leafy greens and brown rice. Their main strength is a meaningful amount of fiber, while their main tradeoff is a more formulated profile. Overall, they function as a vegetable-forward addition to a meal rather than a primary protein source.
How to Use This
Best included occasionally, a few times per month, within a balanced diet and in controlled portions. Pair them with a side of roasted root vegetables or serve them inside a whole-grain bun with sliced avocado and sprouts.
