Tips Make A Healthy Burger In 10 Mins!
Usually, burgers and fries has become the cliched menu for defining 'junk' food. Thanks to the thousands of fast food joints that make burger, we have started perceiving burger as fattening food that has no nutritive value. Actually, you can make a healthy burger and quickly as well. The only difference lies in how you make the healthy burger patties and what ingredients you use to make your burger.
10 WAYS TO SAY NO TO JUNK FOOD
So if want to make a healthy burger, then there is a lot of choice available for you. The thumb rule of how to make burger healthy is to not use any fried patties in it. The second rule would be to get rid of the white bread. And thirdly, you have to change your ideas about what you can add to burgers. If you can follow these 3 steps, you can make healthy burgers that are delicious and also quick.
You must understand that fast food joints did not invent the concept of burgers. Even before there was the concept of 'junk' food, people made burgers at cafes and even at home. It is just about making the right substitutions so that you can come up with a healthy combination. The time consuming thing is to find a way to make the burger patties healthy. The rest can be done in a matter of minutes.
Here are some simple guidelines to make a healthy burger in less than 10 minutes.
Use Kale Instead of Lettuce
Lettuce is an overrated green leafy vegetable. Actually, other green leafy vegetables like kale have much more nutritive value than iceberg lettuce.
Go Veg
Add vegetables to your burger instead of meat. A burger patties made with broccoli, peas, cabbage and carrots can also taste yummy and obviously be low on calories.
Add Seared Patties
Instead of frying the burger patties, you can just sear it on a grill. Brush some oil on the patties and grill it in the microwave. You can save up on lots of calories like that.
Fresh Tomatoes Instead Of Ketchup
Always use fresh sliced tomatoes instead of ketchup to make your burgers. It takes half a minute to slice tomatoes so why consume preservatives.
Peanut Butter Instead Of Mayo
You need a soft base for your burger. But mayonnaise, even if it is low fat has lots of calories. So try layering the bread with protein rich peanut butter instead.
Make Your Own Pattie
You need not buy patties from from the cold storage. You can easily make your own patties by buying the lean and boneless cuts of chicken. Processed meat is known to cause cancer.
Shred The Cheese
It is common to use cheese slices in burgers and grated cheese in pasta and pizzas. However, shredding cheese means taking lesser helpings of cheese every time you eat.
Buy Fresh Bread
Get rid of the packed bread you buy from supermarkets. You should buy the buns from your local bakery fresh. Ideally, you should by loafs of whole wheat for making burgers.
Stir Fried Pattie
Grilling takes times but stir frying is much easier and quicker. If you do not get time to grill the patties, you can stir fry it with very little oil. That too will reduce the number of calories you consume.
Experiment With The Patties
> Hamburgers are not the only kind of burgers. You can try putting grill paneer or soya chunks in between your burger buns. Fish fillets that are seared or grilled also make great burger patties. Experiment with different types of burger fills.
