A lot of veggie burgers suffer from a lack of imagination–they’re often just some combination of grains and beans and while they’re usually delicious, when you eat them often, sometimes they leave you wanting a little bit more. Well, don’t worry–these burgers are different! They’re made with unique ingredients, creative toppings, or both and they’re sure to pull you out of your boring veggie burger rut.
