Top Tips:

• Try a wholemeal option to increase your fibre intake and keep you feeling satisfied for longer!
• Get the veggies in-add toppings such as lettuce, tomato and red onion.
• Want to make it a cheeseburger? Why not try a slice of Mozzarella or a small amount of grated Parmesan as healthier cheese options?
• Put down the ketchup! There are so many ways to add flavour to your burger without the added sugar-try adding pesto, mustard, salsa, guacamole or hummus.
