Vegan and Gluten Free Sweet Potato Burger by Sarah Dobson
For some people, vegan and gluten free burgers come at the high price of sacrificing delicious flavor – we understand that plight. Many of us, especially those raised in western cultures, have been conditioned to eat and drink all things animal (sorry for the blunt expression).
It’s true though, much of the food culture today is inundated with all types of animal products and byproducts. One of our beliefs at Mystic Mix is that it would probably be a lot easier for people to switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet if meat and dairy wasn’t so widely used by restaurants and households alike. So to counter everything meat, one of our Mystic Mix Certified Nutritionists, Sarah Dobson, wrote an amazing, delicious, and incredible recipe
Vegan and Gluten Free Burger made from Sweet Potatoes!
Not only is this burger mouth-watering, the sweet potatoes are loaded with Fiber, Beta-Carotene, B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Manganese and Iron.
Vitamin B6 has been know to reduce the chemical homocysteine in the body. Homocysteine has been linked to heart attacks, and other degenerative diseases.
Vitamin C accelerates production of collagen, which helps in the maintenance of the skin’s youthful elasticity and appearance.
Another belief of Mystic Mix is that it doesn’t take much to keep yourself or your family healthy – just start with fresh, wholesome and simple ingredients. This Vegan and Gluten Free Sweet Potato Burger by Sarah Dobson is just that – simple and delicious!
Our Advice for making this dish even more flavorful? Use a homemade vegan pesto instead of mayo. Enjoy!
