There’s something about a day at the beach that makes everyone hungry come dusk.
You don’t realize how much exercise you’re actually getting because you’re too busy having a blast surfing, swimming or playing with the family. You don’t even realize you’re hungry until your stomach is louder than the waves hitting the shore and everyone is wondering what’s for dinner.
These white bean and kale burgers are the perfect light and filling meal after a day with your feet in the sand. White beans and kale are full of protein and vitamins your body needs to refuel and recharge. You can make the burgers ahead of time and store in the refrigerator or your cooler until it’s time to throw them on the grill.
Since bean burgers lack the grease in regular hamburgers, you’ll want to make sure you oil your grill grates to keep your burgers from sticking to the grates. White bean burgers are also more delicate than beef burgers, so use a wide spatula and flip them gently so they don’t break apart on the grill. Serve them on a whole wheat bun with all of your favorite toppings or serve alone for a lighter dish.
