New year, new go-to plant-based burger

Raise your hand if the start of a new year has you searching for new, simple recipes! You’ve come to the right place—our brand-new Hearty Plant Protein Burger Mix might just become your go-to. If you’ve ever wanted a homemade plant-based burger that’s easy, wholesome, and actually fun to make, this is it.

This mix isn’t trying to be a perfect copy of a beef burger like some other plant-based options—you know, the ones that try to bleed or sizzle just like the real thing. Instead, our burger mix strikes a happy medium: more realistic than a basic whole-grain oat and veggies-poking-through patty, but still simple and approachable. You’ll see oats in the mix, giving it a hearty texture that feels satisfying with every bite, but doesn’t disrupt every bite.

The ingredients? All ones you can recognize. Textured pea protein, whole oats, chickpeas, and seasonings you can pronounce—nothing tricky or overly processed. And the texture? Think chewy, substantial, and just enough “bite” to make it feel like a proper burger, low in fat but still hearty and satisfying.

Making these burgers is as easy!

1) Mix the entire bag with 1 ¼ cups hot water

2) Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes

5) Cook patties 4 minutes per side, or until a crispy coating forms and patties are firm

Whether you grill, pan-fry, or bake, they hold together beautifully and taste incredible hot off the skillet—or save the leftover cooked patties to snack on straight from the fridge later.

This year, make it easy on yourself: grab our burger mix, enjoy the wholesome ingredients you can actually see, and get ready for a new favorite in your plant-based rotation.

And let us know what you think! We’re starting things off with a small-batch release of our Hearty Plant Protein Burger Mix and would love to hear directly from you. This is part of our small-batch process—launching new products in limited quantities, gathering real feedback, and refining from there. It lets us stay thoughtful, flexible, and responsive, making sure what we create truly earns a spot in your kitchen before scaling it up.
