Black Bean Veggie Burger
 A burger doesn't always need to go in a bun. A burger can be eaten on a salad, on a pile of grains or just alongside some steamed veggies.
If you've decide not to serve your veggie burger on a bun you can put it in a bowl with steamed veggies, nuts, or anything you would like to add. You can get as creative as you want and just throw a whole bunch of things together and you have yourself a whole foods, balanced meal.
Making a homemade veggies burger is also a great way to get in some healthy nutrition and fulfill that urge to eat something that is burger like and has a "meaty" or rich texture. By meaty, I mean (hearty/grainy) so in this case you can use grains, beans, root veggies, nuts and seeds and not even have to go the length of using a faux meat or soy based substitute to get that "patti or juicy burger" option. There are many natural options!
So the next time you want to get a little creative and make a burger and throw it in a bowl - make sure to fill both the burger and the bowl up full tasty and nutritious ingredients!
