10 Best Veggie Burgers | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

It was a close call between Vivera and Beyond Meat, but our top pick just had to be the Beyond Burger! The brand's dedication to keeping things totally vegan and allergen-free means their burgers can be enjoyed by absolutely everyone!

Each patty comes jam-packed with 17g of pea protein, making them a welcome entry into a market dominated by soya and wheat. This, coupled with the sensational taste and tantalising texture is all you could ever want from a veggie burger!

Vivera's vegan-friendly, plant-based quarter pounders have unrivalled juiciness — and, as we're sure everyone knows, that is the key to burger success! Even the most committed carnivores may be tricked into thinking they're eating meat, thanks to the moreish texture and savoury flavour.

As well as being high in protein due to the soya base, each patty contains added iron and vitamin B12. Vivera also only uses GMO-free soya that's grown sustainably without causing deforestation. Great for your tummy and the planet!

With 19.5g of soya protein per 100g, this deliciously meat-free mix is perfect for creating hearty savoury patties with the chewy burger texture that we all know and love.

Best of all, this mix is both suitable for vegetarians and vegans and it has a stamp of approval by the Vegetarian Society. The six-pack of sachets is budget-friendly and should last you ages, so you can have a burger whenever you feel like it!

Unlike a lot of the burgers on this list which are happily vegan by default, Waitrose's aubergine and feta burgers certainly are not — but they are terrifically tasty! This lentil-packed pair of patties comes highly recommended by plenty of happy reviewers who just can't get enough of their unique flavour profile. 

Fresh and inexpensive, these cheesy burgers are ideal for a quick lunch or a weekend BBQ with your mates. Chuck in the oven to skip the excessive oil or fry them up nice and crispy in the pan for a yummy meat-free meal.

This veggie burger mix will help you get your daily protein easily from a plant-based source, as it's packed with soya and wheat gluten. These ingredients, combined with breadcrumbs and herbs, just need a splash of water in order to create a firm and flavoursome patty. The price is high, but it's a cost-effective purchase when you consider how many burgers the mix will make!

With a health-focused, veggie-heavy recipe consisting of white and oyster mushrooms, pea protein, chickpea flour and red peppers, this two-pack of burgers is ready to rock your socks right off!

Artisan Grain's veggie burger mix is a clever product that definitely deserves a spot in your kitchen cupboard or in your rucksack ready for a camping trip. The dry mix comes in a sachet of 200g to make portioning easy, and here we've linked to a multipack so you get several servings.

With the inclusion of spices like paprika, cumin, turmeric, chilli and cinnamon, these burgers have a very distinctive, Moroccan-inspired flavour. The only hitch is that the price is considerably high for something that you have to cook yourself, even though it is a handy pantry staple. 

If you're looking for a meat substitute then these fresh burgers from Richmond do a fantastic job of imitating the flavour of a traditional burger and will happily store in a fridge for over a week and are even suitable for home freezing!
