Healthy Burger Bowls
These healthy burger bowls are the perfect alternative to an actual burger. Everything you would get on a burger and more is served on top of fresh crispy crunchy lettuce. Forget the carb loaded bun!
A good old American favorite, turned healthy! These healthy burger bowls are more than just healthy. They are tasty and satisfying! Each and every bite tasted like an actual hamburger. The bun wasn’t missed, thats for sure!
What do you usually get on your burgers when you order them out, or make them at home? Pickles? Onions? lettuce? tomatoes? a special sauce? Or maybe all? These burger bowls have it all!
The special sauce was my favorite. It was so simple to make, and so tasty. It was the perfect sauce to add on top for the dressing.
My husband loves his burgers. Bun and all. But when he tried these burger bowls, he was sold. Oh, and also…he was literally eating the left over sauce by the spoon. Its THAT good!
