This High Protein Mushroom Hemp Burger is packed with nutrients and a delightfully alternative flavour profile from what you might typically expect in a burger. Coconut aminos, a sweet tasting soy sauce alternative, paired with garlic and ginger, offers a Teriyaki-style flavour that is matched well with the meaty mushrooms and brown rice. The addition of hemp seeds and almonds makes this burger a great source of protein, phytosterols, vitamin E and omega 3’s, which are very supportive of the immune system, heart health and inflammation.
