Sweet, spicy and good for your gut—this dietitian's sweet potato and black bean veggie burger reinvents a classic

Veggie burgers can be a little hit and miss, but one simple way to guarantee your patty is delicious every time is to make them from scratch.

This might sound like a lot of work, but it shouldn’t take long with the help of a food processor and this recipe from Roxana Ehsani, dietitian and GoVerden ambassador. It’s great for your gut health, too.

“It combines avocados, sweet potatoes, black beans and oats, all of which feed the good bacteria in your gut, help them thrive and support healthy digestion,” says Ehsani. “More fiber [in your diet] means a happier and healthier gut.

“Plus, these ingredients add vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that support overall health.

“Avocados add monounsaturated fats, which can help promote healthy digestion.”
