When I talk about ‘protein combining’ for vegetarians, I’m basically explaining how to get protein into your diet without eating meat. One way is to combine a grain with a nut or seed, so that you’re getting a more complete protein. Even though quinoa is technically a seed, it has a high amino acid profile, and by adding walnuts at the end we’re increasing the amino acid profile even more and thus the amount of protein. So these burgers get the thumbs up on loads of counts – they help you get good protein, they taste fab, plus I love quinoa!
