The Meatiest Meatless Burgers Around

Vegetarians are always scoping out the local green scene to find the best of the best for their lunch and dinner menus. Options seem minimal when you're on the hunt for great taste.

Is there anything out there that doesn't feel and taste like cardboard!?

Alas, a sigh of relief can be heard about the world. The styrofoam days are over.

May we present to you The Top 5 Best Tasting Veggie Burgers

Compliments Meatless Patties
These burgers are the closest you'll ever get to the real thing. 100% soy, they're big enough for a regular hamburger bun (a rarity in veg world!), thick, juicy, loaded with smoky flavour, and best of all they are affordable! A box of eight is less than $5.00 at Sobey's - and they're worth every penny.

Harvey's
The most popular veggie burger in all of Canada, Harvey's patties must carry a secret ingredient to keep us coming back for more! Can you even tell that they're meatless? Try swapping a friend's order one day and see if they notice. Okay, don't go that far, but these veggie burgers are really that amazing. Load 'em up with Harvey's signature toppings and you've got yourself an animal friendly fast food delight.

Burger King
Another fast food favourite for moments of weakness, when you need to sneak a guilty pleasure. Well, in this case maybe a little less guilty than usual! A little smaller than others but still incredibly tasty, Burger King offers a delicious soy burger that is anything but bland. We're impressed!

Lick's Meatless Burgers
The only thing this brand loses points for is size, as these patties are not as substantial as they could, be especially in comparison to the Compliments burgers. Nevertheless, they're a popular choice among vegetarians. Voted as "hottest thing on the grill" by Today's Parent magazine, the Lick's brand proves that they've got healthy eating and calorie conscious veggie eaters in mind!

Grilled Portabello Burgers
Such an easy and scrumptious recipe to try at home - cheap too! Next time you're grocery shopping, pick up some portobello mushrooms and toss them on the grill. Add mixed spices, goat cheese, and your favourite toppings and you've got yourself a mouth-watering, meatless morsel!
