Best burger bun alternative April 13, 2015 recipes, weight management Best burger bun alternative Hi everyone, For those who are looking for a healthier alternative to the traditional hamburger bun, I have found for you the best “no bread” solutions! How about considering grilling or baking some of your favourite vegetables? Vegetable buns are a great alternative and perfect for those with Coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or are simply looking to bump up the fibre and lower the calories of their favourite burger. Today, I am really excited to share with you some great “no bread” burger bun alternatives! Vegetable bun alternatives are a more nutritious option given the traditional burger bun often contains added sugars or is simply filled with refined carbohydrates. Grilled or oven baked vegetables are rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, folate, and potassium. They also provide a good source of dietary fibre which can help lower cholesterol levels and maintain a healthy digestive system. By using these grilled bun alternatives, we can increase our daily vegetable intake and thereby reduce our risk of heart disease, obesity and even strokes. Overall, I think we are onto a winner!
