••••BURGER SPREADS!!

Salsa

​Tomato-based salsa is high in cancer-fighting lycopene and low in calories, but avoid brands with added sugar.

Sauerkraut

Fermented foods are rich in probiotics to promote gut health

Tzatziki

This yogurt-cucumber sauce adds creamy flavor for just 40 calories per two-tablespoon serving.

Hot Sauce

A few dashes contains very few calories, and research shows the spice may reduce your appetite, so you don’t nibble on extra fries.

Ketchup

Studies show that organic ketchup contains up to three times more cancer-fighting lycopene than non-organic varieties.

Barbecue Sauce

Sure, it tastes great, but most brands are high in added sugar. Spread just a little for flavor and enjoy!

Guacamole

With a base of avocados, this crowd favorite is high in heart-healthy fats and fiber.

Hummus

A two-tablespoon serving adds a couple grams of protein and fiber—and just 50 calories.

Pesto

Basil is high in antioxidants, and olive oil and garlic are good for your heart.

THAI BURGERS

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 4

Serving Size: 1 burger

Calories per serving: ~

Fat per serving: ~

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cloves chopped garlic
• 1" cube fresh ginger chopped
• 2 fresh green chili's chopped (with seeds if you like it spicy!) 
• zest and juice of one lime 
• 1 tablespoon dark soy 
• 2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce 
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 
• 1 teaspoons corn flour 
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) 
• 4 good size fresh buns or rolls
• 
  
  

INSTRUCTIONS

1. With the exception of the of the beef and the coriander, place all the other ingredients in a small jug and blitz with a hand held liquidiser. (Immersion blender) Transfer to a small saucepan and warm through so that the corn flour thickens - cooking isn't necessary, it's just to make the sauce mix a good consistency to add to the ground beef, otherwise it would be too runny. 
2. When thickened, pour it into your mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons of the coriander, get your hands in there and work everything together. 
3. Grill the burgers over a good heat for about 10 minutes on each side, lightly toast your bun and then build your burger. I went for lettuce and cucumber below, tomato and more coriander above all topped off with a splodge of Thai sweet chili sauce.

••••BUNS FOR BURGERS🍔🍞🥖🥐!!••••

(Source: runnersworld.com & magazine & courtesy of Jim and Evana & Mitch Mandel)

••••BUNS FOR BURGERS!!

Pretzel 

These trendy buns are just like ballpark soft pretzels—great for a hit of electrolytes pre- or postrun. But they’re higher in calories: 250 for three ounces.

Sesame 

The seeds contain copper, which works with ironto create red blood cells. A very sturdy bun.

Sourdough 

The fermented dough is chock-full of good bacteria, which may make this bread easier to digest.

Whole-Grain

Whole-grain or whole-wheat options are healthiest, but you can certainly indulge once in a while.
