Protein Black Bean Burgers
7 steps
Prep:20minCook:20min
Black bean burgers are a common plant based hamburger option, with a good amount of protein, fiber, and complex carbs. However; beans are significantly lower in protein than meat, and it isn't a complete protein. To solve this problem, I'm adding some unflavored whey into the burger mix to closer mimic the nutritional information of a standard beef patty
