Made These Beyond Meat Burgers For My Meat-Loving In-Laws

Its summertime! Cue the vegan BBQ foods: burgers, hot dogs, chips, potato salad, watermelon; the works!

Rest assured, theres no shortage of vegan food for outdoor cookin thats filling, easy and tasty!

Vegan burgers have come a long way, baybee! Especially when it comes to taste, texture and easy access.

This month I found Beyond Meats Beyond Burger smack dab in the middle of the meat section! Or as I call it, the grocerys morgue.

Perusing that section is mighty gruesome for us vegans; we dont see food there, but rather random blood-drenched body parts.

It was worth a quick trip to grab a few packs of Beyond Burgers, and snap a few quick photos, though. After all, for those who have been vegan for decades, you know, this is a HUGE turning point for plant-based foods.

No longer are new vegan items banished to a little bitty corner of the supermarket, or trapped in a pricey specialty store. Theyre in mainstream markets, right where everyonecan see em!

We picked up Beyond Meats Burgers at Safeway, in Northern California. I assume theyre testing them out here, along with Northern Nevada and Hawaii, and if they sell well, theyll spread across the nation.

Were definitely doing our part to make sure it happens; weve bought a lot!

We even grabbed some on our way home from the Grass Valley Vegan Food + Wine Festival where I spoke about my new book, The Vegan Way, and how to make the transition to a healthy vegan lifestyle.

We whipped them up in the kitchen for my meat-eating in-laws and they loved them!

Theyre almost too real for me, but thats OK; Im happy about that because I know its so helpful to emmulate the taste and texture for those who are trying to kick the pesky meat habit.

Yep. So when you ditch that cholesterol laden, saturated fatty fat FAT meat patty, and enjoy a plant-based burger instead, youre not just helping your own health, and the animals, but the entire worlds health, too!

Heres the link to see if theres a store with Beyond Meat Beyond Burgers near you! (but dont forget to like or share this post before you go! *wink*)

And if you cant find them, enjoy another tasty vegan burger. There are a bajillion to choose from made by: Amys, Gardein, Wildwood, Hilarys, Sweet Earth Natural Foods, etc.

Seriously, the variety out there is amazing!

Its SO easy to be vegan!
