Whenever I set out to develop a burger recipe, goal number one is to create something that satisfies. It doesn't necessarily need to mimic meat in flavour or texture, but it does need to have plenty of protein and flavour. To that end, my newest veggie burger recipe- these Tempeh, Quinoa, and Sweet Potato Burgers- is quite possibly my best one yet. A hearty base of tempeh, quinoa, and sweet potato is flavoured up with tamari, Dijon, barbecue sauce, herbs and spices, toasted sesame oil, and pecans. The resulting burger is packed with so much heft and protein that even my πŸ‘±πŸΌrecipe tester (with one of the heartiest appetites I've ever witnessed, aside from my own πŸ˜†πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ) was satisfied! 
All the details and the recipe are now on the blog: upbeetkitchen.com! 
Happy noshing! πŸ˜‹

Pumpkin seed butter is an excellent source of zinc, iron, and magnesium, as well as protein (especially the amino acid L-Arginine, which enhances blood flow and can improve athletic performance). Pumpkin seed butter is the star of the show in my latest recipe, pumpkin seed butter and pumpkin spice chocolate cups! If you're looking for a healthy no-bake snack/treat, look no further than these tasty morsels. The new recipe is on the blog now- upbeetkitchen.com, or via the link in my bio! πŸŽƒ ✨ .

Did you know that beets are believed to both build and cleanse the blood in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and that they may enhance athletic performance by boosting nitric oxide production, which relaxes the blood vessels and allows blood to be pumped more efficiently through the body? 
Even if you think you don't like beets, I encourage you to give them a chance in this recipe. It just might change your mind. 
The new recipe is up on the blog now: upbeetkitchen.com, or via the link in my bio. Hope you enjoy! πŸ€—

My version uses whole grain flour tortillas stuffed with spice-infused lentils and roasted butternut squash. I added a cilantro lime cashew cream for dipping, too! ☺️✨ We like them so much that we're making them for dinner again tonight. If you want to do the same, head over to upbeetkitchen.com for the brand new recipe. Enjoy! πŸ€—
