Orange Buffalo Chickpea Burgers
Summer is here, which means more fun in the sun and incredible burger recipes to eat outside! This Orange Buffalo Chickpea Burger recipe is packed with plant-based protein, fiber and healthy fats! It is topped with a spicy and tangy buffalo sauce and crunchy cabbage. Yum!
One of the things I love about this recipe is that it is made with only real, whole foods and some incredible spices! While there are some good veggie burgers on the market, there are also many that are filled with processed ingredients and lots of unnecessary oil. This recipe is satisfying for the whole family and will definitely become your new summer staple!
Health Benefits of Burger Ingredients
Chickpeas
Beans are an incredible plant-based protein, packed with fiber and also contains B vitamins! B vitamins are important because they help increase neurotransmitter levels, including serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. All of these helps regulate mood.
Quinoa
Quinoa is a great gluten-free grain alternative. Did you know that quinoa is actually a pseudo-grain? A pseudo-grain is a seed that has the same incredible benefits as grains. Quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein!
Arugula
Leafy greens are packed with nutrients and arugula is no exception! The vitamin K found in arugula is needed for blood clotting and healing wounds. Arugula is also a great source of folate, which is important for healthy red blood cells!
Purple Cabbage
The beautiful purple color in cabbage is due to the antioxidant called anthocyanin. This amazing flavonoid may be linked to lowering blood pressure and lowering the risk of heart disease.
