    Amy’s Veggie Burgers are Plant-Based, Vegan, American Classics

    4
    By Alisa Fleming on September 7, 2020 Dairy-Free Fresh & Frozen Entree Reviews, Product Reviews

    Amy’s is a vegetarian company specifically, but they don’t forget about their dairy-free consumers. In fact, the entire line-up of Amy’s Veggie Burgers went completely cheese-free and vegan over a decade ago. It includes favorites ranging from the meaty All American to the plant-forward California Burgers.

    Amy’s has also changed up some of their burger varieties over the years. A few have been discontinued, and a couple have popped up in their place. So I’ve updated this post with the latest varieties.

    Tasting Notes for Amy’s Veggie Burgers

    Over the years, we’ve bought and tried several varieties of Amy’s Veggie Burgers. I’ve including our notes below with the ones we have sampled. Please feel free to leave your own rating and review below!

    Organic Sonoma Burger (gluten-free)

    This burger has pleasant earthy flavors. The combination of grains, veggies, walnuts, and garbanzo flour melds together nicely. When baked these veggie burgers aren’t greasy and are actually nice and firm on the outside. I toasted up an Amy’s sandwich round, slathered it with a little mustard, topped with tomato and avocado (I was out of lettuce), and then put the burger on top to act as the second bun! It worked perfectly and was delicious!

    Amy's Veggie Burgers Reviews and Info - Seven Varieties - all dairy-free, vegan, and plant-based! Includes the meaty quarter pound, plant-forward California, and more.Ingredients: organic quinoa, organic gluten free oats*, organic walnuts, organic mushrooms, organic potatoes, organic garbanzo bean flour, organic onions, sea salt. organic celery, organic carrots, organic garlic, organic high oleic safflower and/or sunflower oil. contains tree nuts (walnuts).

    Nutrition (per patty): 130 calories, 5g fat, 18g carbs, 3g fiber, 2g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 4g protein.*

    Organic California Burger (also available in Light in Sodium)

    I skipped the buns and served this veggie burger to my (meat loving) husband and I on salads. It was positively delicious, and Tony loved it!  He requested veggie burger salads for the rest of the week, and said he liked how they didn’t weight him down.  They tasted good, and he actually felt better after eating them!

    In terms of the California itself, it was tasty, yet not a burger-like experience. Not that I am complaining, I prefer the veggie taste, but some people like the meat substitute effect. The burger had a deep but mellow flavor. There was just enough salt to make things interesting (we had the regular one). It was a touch soft in the center, yet hearty with a good dose of barley-like grains.  This soft and bready texture certainly worked atop our salads.

    Organic Black Bean Burger

    Nutrition (per patty): 100 calories, 4g fat, 15g carbs, 2g fiber, 2g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 2g protein.*

    Quarter Pound Burger

    My husband gave his typical “it’s good” and finished this burger off.  My dad was visiting, and he said, “much better and meatier than those other veggie burgers (Boca).”  Both said that it was a bit “bready,” but they liked it.

    The Quarter Pounder was definitely the most burger-like experience of Amy’s Veggie Burgers. It easily filled out a sizable bun, and satisfied more as a real meal. It was lightly sweet and nutty in both flavor and texture.  It wasn’t what I would call meaty, but hearty and tasty in its own right. I still prefer my veggie burgers to be a bit more “veggie” inspired, but this is the veggie burger I would probably pick to serve at barbecues.

Includes the meaty quarter pound, plant-forward California, and more.Ingredients: textured soy protein (hexane free), organic onions, organic mushrooms, organic bulgur wheat, organic soy fiber, wheat gluten, filtered water, organic celery, organic carrots, organic tomato purée, organic cane sugar, organic bell peppers, organic oats, expeller pressed high oleic safflower and/or sunflower oil, sea salt, organic walnuts, organic sweet rice flour, spices, organic potatoes, organic garlic, organic apple cider vinegar, organic garlic, organic blackstrap molasses, stoneground mustard (distilled vinegar, water, ground mustard seeds, salt, spices), hickory smoke flavor, black pepper, clove oil. contains wheat, soy and tree nuts (walnuts).

    Nutrition (per patty): 210 calories, 4g fat, 24g carbs, 6g fiber, 6g sugars (includes 3g added sugars), 19g protein.*

    All American Burger

    Fearing a sweet ketchup flavored veggie burger, I was pleased by the lightly spiced flavor. The texture was more crumbly than mushy, and it held up pretty well between a bun.  It might be the one I would choose to have at a barbecue alongside the Quarter Pounder, to suit lighter appetites.

    The bits of grain gave it a heartier chew, making the All American more like a veggie burger hybrid.  We enjoyed the All American atop our veggie burger salads, too. It did crumble nicely onto our salads, but I think it’s still better in the burger format.

    Worst veggie burgers on the market

    I LOVE Amy’s line of organic foods. I love the soups, pizza etc. HOWEVER, the burgers need to be scrapped and redesigned from scratch. I have tried many different brands and they are all so much better than these. I mean pick just about any other brand and I will be happier. Literally couldn’t finish the three times I tried to eat them. Luckily the dogs didn’t mind. However, it is expensive dog food. I hope and pray they come out with something that is at least more on the edible side.

    I felt compelled to write a review after seeing this 4 star review. All the reviews with direct comparisons consistently rate Amy’s burgers at the bottom and it is well deserved.

    Amy’s veggie burgers are a good, solid option that’s pretty tasty. I buy them when on sale to make veggie burger salads. It’s a quick lunch!

      I thiink I have tried every single one of these veggie burgers! In fact I bought more today. I like the all Americaan quite a bit. I started eating these burgers for the soy.. it was recommended by my Dr to get more soy in my diet. At the time I thought I would like them at all but they truly are good. The only thing is on the grill they did dry out quickly and were dome long before I thought they would be. For me, the toaster oven did the best job.

      I really enjoy Amy’s products. All of their burgers are great, but I have to say the All American is my favorite! of the ones that I’ve tried. Haven’t tried the Bistro burger, but will keep my eye out for it: sounds good!

      Looking at Amy’s veggie burgers, and see that only one of 5 is soy free.
      Is Hexane included in your the soy products? It is certainly used in 90 percent
      of all veggie burgers. And is highly toxic.
