Can Burgers Really Be Healthy?

Yes! There is such thing as a healthy BUBBA burger®. Don’t believe us? Let’s start with the facts: BUBBA burgers are high in protein, naturally gluten-free and have no artificial ingredients, additives or preservatives. Now that that’s settled, how do we incorporate BUBBA burgers in health-focused diet plans?

For starters, there are easy swaps you can make to create a leaner, more wholesome meal with BUBBA burgers as a base. Changing out white bread buns for whole-wheat options will increase your fiber and add more vitamins like B6 and E. You can also lower your calorie count by replacing the bread completely in favor of a lettuce wrap or take the grain-bowl route as seen here:

Pro tip: The more colorful the better! Adding lots of colorful veggies like onions and tomatoes on top of your BUBBA burgers will increase your meal’s nutritional value but remember to watch your sauce amounts! The serving size for most salad dressings, condiments and other sauces is two tablespoons. You can eyeball this using the tip of your thumb.
