If you’re looking for a savoury appetizer, I have a tasty one for you. My Guilt-free blue cheeseburgers will satisfy those taste buds as a full-fledged burger or replicated into miniature sliders as an appetizer or potluck. They’ll hit the spot when you want the full flavour without the guilt. With the extra lean meat, we are packing tons of spinach in these burger patties. A tasty way to add more greens, I’d say.
Spinach is loaded with Vitamin A, K, D, & E. It’s also a good source of magnesium, riboflavin, and potassium. Spinach also serves as a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Researchers have also identified more than a dozen different flavonoid compounds in spinach that act as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents.
With enough amount of greens, you’ll undoubtedly enjoy these guilt-free blue cheeseburgers.
