MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean Burger_main by Hip Foodie Mom

Summer is in full swing and we are officially in “quick and easy” mode here at my house. The kids are out of school and I have to be smarter about how I plan our days, meal plan throughout the week and schedule our time. When my daughter is not attending summer camp, our days are filled with running errands, play dates, going to the library and going to the park. It’s busy to say the least. When I was single, I feel like busy meant hitting up the vending machine and eating fast food. But now, I’m smarter. I eat smarter. Even when we’re busy.

And when I’m busy, I still make time for my morning run because seriously, these are the times I feel I need the run the most. I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle by watching what I eat (but not denying myself), cutting down on meats and cutting down on the carbs. So, on the days where I want to eat lighter, I simply remove the top bun and eat an open faced veggie burger or remove the bun entirely and eat a lettuce burger.

Quick and easy doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste.

MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean Burger

With 30+ products and over 600+ recipes, MorningStar Farms has more ways to eat smart. And with this Spicy Black Bean patty, I also cut it up and placed it into a salad and a soft taco. The possibilities are endless! And I’m telling you now, these Spicy Black Bean Burger patties are so good!!! My daughters each ate their entire Spicy Black Bean Burger patty! They loved it as much as I did! And with only 3-4 minutes in the microwave, it doesn’t get any easier than that.

MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik Patties

I also tried the MorningStar Farms Buffalo Chik Patties and these were also delicious! With a good source of protein and great taste, I’ve already stocked up my freezer with a handful of these. MorningStar Farms makes it easy to eat smart, whether you go meatless every day, or occasionally. And initially I thought they only had veggie breakfast sausage patties! MorningStar Farms is always creating and introducing new products and flavors. Their products include Roasted Garlic & Quinoa Burger, Buffalo Chik Patties, Parmesan Garlic Wings, Mediterranean Chickpea Pizza and Baja Black Bean Pizza. So, mix it up on your next Meatless Monday and grab something from MorningStar Farms! You’ll be glad you did!

    I’m not sure if i ever had Morning star before, but it sounds tasty and it would really motivate me to eat breakfast instead of skipping it. Having a tasty well round breakfast sounds better than cereal or sandwiches in the morning. and it’s not heavy like a beef patty

    My son is a carnivore, he eats all meat all the time. We love serving morning star burgers because he eats them happily and doesn’t even realize (or care) there is no meat! Great way to give him a good dose of healthy protein/veggies without a dinner time battle.
