Oh so Loco Lettuce Wraps!


So I've watched this years' Winter Olympics more then usual and really found out about sports I've never heard of like Skeleton! But any who, today is one of my favorite days because it's Women's Figure Skating! I LOVE watching figure skaters. So awesome, so beautiful, so athletic!

Speaking of athletes, what we(look at me referring to myself as an athlete!) put in our bodies is very important. We need food that is going to give us strength and energy and not weigh our bodies down. So you should know that when I was given an opportunity to try out some plant based burgers, I jumped on the opportunity.

A few weeks ago I was sent a lovely package in the mail from the great people at Sunshine Burger to try their plant based, gluten free, soy free, organic - and now I can honestly say awesome - meatless burgers! I wasn't expecting the grand package with so many options but happily tried a few of them! Don't worry will be trying the rest soon!

A little about Sunshine Burger:
All Sunshine Burgers are made with certified organic, verified Non-GMO whole food ingredients, free of gluten, soy, corn, canola, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy or eggs. Carol has a genius for taking simple ingredients and making them taste good. And each of her flavors really is nicely differentiated from the others, both taste and texture, by varying the use of beans, veggies and spice!




The burgers are already cooked and just require reheating so it a quick meal for the most part! And you can reheat them in so many different ways. Because I'm lazy - used the microwave to reheat mine!

I'm simple and picky eater so I kept my recipe simple. I made "Oh so Loco! Lettuce Wraps" and of course I wanted to share this recipe for What I Ate Wednesday!



What you need:
Romaine Lettuce Leafs
1 Loco Chipotle Sunshine Burger
Mozzarella cheese (optional)
Ketchup & Mustard (optional)

& then...
Take the lettuce leaves and spread them out.
Cut the burger into 4 or 5 slices


Stuff the burger onto the lettuce
Sprinkle cheese nicely over the lettuce wraps 
Drizzle with ketchup & mustard.
& ENJOY!

Feel free to add other goodies like jalepeno's and salsa! I sure will next time.

I've tried 3 flavors so far: Black Bean South West, Loco Chipotle and Falafel! All were yummy! I loved the spices of the Loco Chipotle the best because I'm a sucker for spicy foods!

Anxious to try out some for yourself, find out if there is a Sunshine Burger near you! You wont be disappointed! 





Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post however Sunshine Burgers did provide me with free samples of the burgers so that I could do this post. All opinions are that of my own.
