    Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers include Something for Everyone

    36
    By Alisa Fleming on August 19, 2020 Dairy-Free Fresh & Frozen Entree Reviews, Product Reviews

    Updated! Nobody does dairy-free vegetable-based patties like the sensible Dr. Praeger. With no shortage on options, Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers include TEN TWELVE FIFTEEN varieties, all made without a drop of milk or speck of cheese. They’re even egg-free and vegan-friendly.

    Tasting Notes for Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers

    All of the Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers that we’ve tried to date got the veggie burger salad treatment, but these very soft and tender patties would also add nice flavor to any sandwich with a burger bun, pita, or simply two slices of your favorite bread. And we have actually tried a couple of them in a bun.

    Super Greens Veggie Burgers (gluten-free)

    I simply LOVE the ingredients in these things – they’re like a salad in a burger! If you’re looking for a meaty vegan burger, then this isn’t it. But if you love true variation and wholesome ingredient veggie burgers, these tender patties are worth a try. These lightly crispy on the outside, very soft on the inside, potato-y patties are visibly spiked with generous amounts of collards, kale and other greens. I really enjoyed the pleasant  but mild flavor of these Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers as they fit with so many flavor profiles – curry, peanut sauce, tomato sauce, aioli, etc. I even paired them with a flavorful Provencal mustard on lettuce veggie burger bites. The only downfall is that these patties are quite soft in the middle.

    Dr. Praeger's Veggie Burgers Reviews & Info - all FIFTEEN varieties are dairy-free, egg-free, vegan, and nut-free! Includes many certified gluten-free varieties.Ingredients: textured pea protein, mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens, expeller pressed canola oil, swiss chard, onions, apples, kale, spinach, cooked quinoa (quinoa, water), potato flakes, water, parsley, arrowroot powder, ginger, rice starch, garlic, oat fiber, sea salt, spices, cayenne pepper powder

    Nutrition (per burger): 160 calories, 8g fat, 11g carbs, 4g fiber, 0g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 10g protein.*

    Kale Veggie Burgers (gluten-free)

    These trendy gems were released just before the summer of 2014, and they have become a staple in the veggie burger world. They actually aren’t overly intense in kale, which I like, but do contain an amazing list of vegetable and grain ingredients that starts with quinoa, brown rice, and millet. The Kale Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers are still very soft (not sturdy enough for grilling), but less tender than the Super Greens and California Gluten Free Veggie Burgers. The flavor is excellent, very deep and onion-y with just the right amount of salt. The kale is ever-present and tasty, but not the least bit bitter. As a fan of vegetables and whole grains, I truly enjoyed these patties.

Includes many certified gluten-free varieties.Ingredients: kale, pea protein, expeller pressed canola oil, water, spinach, onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, corn, red peppers, water chestnuts, potato flakes, cooked quinoa (quinoa, water), cooked brown rice (brown rice, water), zucchini, broccoli, arrowroot powder, rice starch, cooked millet (millet, water), oat fiber, garlic, spices, sea salt.

    California Gluten Free Veggie Burgers (gluten-free)

    I adore the rich onion flavor in these patties. Dotted with chunks of carrots and zucchini along with whole peas and edamame, there is no doubt that these truly are vegetable-based burgers. My only qualm is that the burgers are very, very soft and a little difficult to handle unless well broiled on each side – even then, they tend to want to be a little mushy and wouldn’t hold up on a standard grill. I actually enjoyed the mouth feel of the texture, but found them difficult to transfer from oven to plate. If gluten-free isn’t a concern for you, Dr. Praeger does have a California burger with gluten that may hold up better.

    Nutrition (per burger): 120 calories, 6g fat, 13g carbs, 4g fiber, 1g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 3g protein.*

    Tex Mex Veggie Burgers

    My first experience with Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers was the Tex Mex variety, which I discovered at Trader Joe’s. I love how many vegetables they pack into these burgers! And you can see them – whole little bits of vegetables and black beans are visible throughout. The Tex Mex flavor was calm and influential rather than overly barbecue. They lacked the “wow” factor for us, but were generally tasty. We just wanted a bit more richness, which could possibly be had with some sliced avocado.

    Nutrition (per burger): 130 calories, 6g fat, 14g carbs, 6g fiber, <1g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 5g protein.*

    Black Bean Quinoa (gluten-free)

    I decided to pick up a new-to-me flavor when Dr. Praeger’s Veggie Burgers were on sale locally. The Black Bean Quinoa had more protein than the other options, so I picked that box. Like some of their other burgers, this one cooks up a bit soft. I recommend frying it in a pan for the best results. It tastes a little bread-y, but I liked it. It had a nice savory flavor, with a hint of spice, and a lot of bean, corn, and grain interest going on.

    I tried other vegan burgers & the test of theses ate really good. My daughter & I tried the Asian & California burgers. We loved them both. I cooked them in the oven & they turned out great . We topped them with lettuce tomato & Mayo I used seed grain bread & it’s a keeper.

    I recently got a small air fryer and test everything I eat in there! All the veggie burgers cook up super crispy — much better than in the oven or skillet. My favorites are the Aslan and Korean ones. New to these, were on sale and now I’m a repeat buyer

    Read the nutrition facts on the box!

    January 24, 2022

    A 99 Gram Burger contains 8 g of fat 20 g of carbohydrate and 6 g of protein which means it has 66 g of water! The box cautions you that they may contain milk egg and fish! You have bought a very expensive hamburger patty that when you bite into it melts in your mouth!

    I love DrPraeger’s Supergreens Pattie. Very tasty, Gluten free, and Dairy free. I’m Vegan and it’s very hard to find plant based tasty patties that are both Gluten free and Dairy free.

    The worst I’ve had

    Rated 1 out of 5
    September 21, 2021

    I was so excited to try this when I seen it at Costco today. After getting at home and opening the box. The actual veggie patty looks nothing like the picture on the box whatsoever not even closely resembles the good looking pattie on the box. After cooking it it was like eating a fried mashed potato patty that had beed coated in sand. I can’t even believe how terrible these are I’ve had many vegetable patties and thought I’ve had some bad ones. These are the absolute worst I’ve ever had

    Great Texture!

    Rated 4 out of 5
    January 21, 2021

    I have been very surprised at how much I like both the Perfect Burger and
    Perfect Turk’y Burgers. They do lack that “WOW” factor of having a rich and meaty taste, but the texture is close to being perfect for my taste. When you add pickles, mustard, onions, and cheese, it makes for a great alternative for cutting back on meat during lent or for other reasons. These are not soft, mushy, or veggie tasting at all. I would buy them again.

      The Asian Veggie Burgers are very mushy. They were not very tasty either. I would not recommend them.
      They also fall apart very easily.

      • Alisa Fleming on February 11, 2016 7:14 am

        Thank you for sharing your review Jeff!

    2. Michael on January 8, 2016 9:13 am

      Okay, I am a 67y/o disabled vietnam vet, with bad eating habits (better than they used to be), open to making changes with health related motivations (diet/oral drug controlled diabetes, slightly high blood pressure). My problem is first defining truely “healthy” foods and how to prepare them so they are enjoyable. I do miss my big thick ribeye. I just tried Dr. Preager’a Kale/Quinoa burgers. I love them but see how I can easily over do it and end up getting tired of them. If bthe first stage of making the meal transition I am trying to make is starting with fresh veggie salads/roasted veggies then I guess I am starting stage 2, exploring prepared “nutritional” meals. Until I found Dr. Praeger’a products, I hadn’t found many others that helped keep me from returning to old habits. It does get frustrating making changes and finding out later that new research says it isn’t enough and mre changes have to be made. My point is, Thank you Dr. Preager for providing an array of healthy and good tasting products.

      • Alisa Fleming on January 9, 2016 4:37 pm

        That’s wonderful and thank you for sharing your story and review of Dr. Praeger’s Michael! Little changes make a HUGE difference. There will always be conflicting news on what is healthy – got with your gut, your doctor’s advice, and what makes you feel the best.

    3. moe on October 22, 2015 12:32 pm

      The California Veggie Burgers, is the best I’ve ever had. It smells incredible. I took it out the package and I couldn’t believe this was coming from a “veggie burger”, like wtf?! I leave it in the oven longer than recommended. I topped it off with shitake mushrooms, onions and bell pepper and some avocado, tomatoes and baby lettuce! I recently became a Vegan. I must say this is a must try for people, who even eat meat!

      • Alisa Fleming on October 22, 2015 9:53 pm

        Agreed! Thanks for sharing Moe – your preparation sounds marvelous.

    4. User Usera on October 6, 2015 6:21 am

      these taste like baby food. Given by some pediatriian named dr. praeger. containing more fat than falafel, it tastes terrible and is more expensive

    5. Alfred Mitchell on August 29, 2015 8:30 am

      Dr. Praegers veggie burgers are the best on the market. Morning star has so many fillers in them.
      Dr. Praegers are pure veggies.

      MORNING STAR VEGGIE BURGERS HAVE CARCINOGENS IN THEM! Cancer causing chemicals. In a “health” food. YES they are delicious and addicting but they are not good for you. Dr Praegers burgers are great.

    7. Tee Smyth on May 28, 2015 1:47 pm

      Hmmm. I heated up the Asian Burger in the oven, as per the instructions on the label this was the preferred method. It completely broke apart. The taste was good, but it does not stay together.

    8. Brian Maillet on April 10, 2015 6:26 am

      They are the nastiest burgers I have ever had try morning star that brand is great in flavor as well as taste and healthy

      • Lauren on July 9, 2015 2:23 pm

        Yes, These were the nastiest ‘burgers’ I’ve ever had! Tried baking and grilling these and both times mushy mess of grossness – if that’s a term – !

    9. Sarah Hatfield on March 23, 2015 10:41 am

      I had no idea they had so many flavors! These look great.

      • Alisa Fleming on March 23, 2015 11:03 am

        Indeed – we’re still working our way through them all – but Tony loves the veggie “pancakes” even more. They are super allergen-aware, too!

    10. Sabrina on August 23, 2014 7:50 am

      Dr. Praeger’s gluten free products are my favorite. I am addicted to them. I stock up on them when I go to the store. My favorite one is the gluten free spinach littles followed by the gluten free fish sticks. I would by thrilled to win the giveaway.

    11. Florence Mims on August 21, 2014 3:26 pm

      Don’t be afraid to try the Asian veggie burger version. It is so tasty and the flavor is always awesome!

    12. Ann Taylor on August 21, 2014 1:34 pm

      I am so disappointing that we cannot find the American burger any more. That was by far our favorite and even our friends who still eat meat liked them. We still love the other kinds and Dr. P is the only ones we will buy.

      I love Dr.Praegers veggie burgers and I like the spinach pancakes. I can even get my young son to eat the spinach pancakes, and he does not like anything even slightly green.
      I agree the burgers are very soft, but on slices of homemade grain bread with mustard and nice fresh tomatoes, I have a complete lunch, in very little time.
