Sweet potato, brown rice & black bean patties

These vegan burger patties on a bed of greens (or with all the burger fixins') makes a complete and balanced meal! Perfect for anyone, even those not following a vegan diet. Made from 100% whole foods that are rich in so many nutrients including plentiful plant proteins, fibers, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and nourishing vitamins and minerals. Some of my favorite spices like cumin, pink salt, fresh cracked pepper, red pepper flakes, parsley and nutritional yeast take the flavor of this patty to the next level!

Try this recipe next time you're feeling a burger night and see how it satiates and satisfies without the guilt and health-risks that comes with eating animal meat. Your body and the planet will thank you <3
