Although I know that there are loads of Beyond Meat Burger reviews online, I’m finally adding my own, because I just tried out the Beyond Meat burgers and oh wow, they are delicious!
Right, but the review doesn’t stop here, although if you came here to know if it’s good, then there’s not much else to read, is there? 😉 Because it’s just really really good!
Flavor and Vision
For me, I never needed to have the “real” meaty taste in any vegan sausages, burgers, or what-have-you, because I never missed meat. Beyond Burger, nonetheless, delivers an authentic meaty flavor that is jaw-dropping delightful. Even more, when I fried the patties they released a juice, much like animal meat does when it’s frying in the pan. That really took me by surprise.
Ethan Brown, the founder and CEO of Beyond Meat had a beautiful vision when he started this company, and judging by what I ate, I think he succeeded.
Any Doubts About Nutritional Value?
I’ve had people ask me in previous reviews, though, about the nutritional value of certain meat replacement products, and so I will include them in here as well. First and foremost, when you eat a meat replacement it is automatically of a higher nutritional value, simply because you’re dropping meat and lowering your cholesterol intake. Nonetheless, some products include soy, nuts, or gluten, and not everyone can or wants to eat any of these three ingredients, which is perfectly understandable.
As you can see, this list contains no harmful ingredients, and no soy, no gluten, and no GMO. Cholesterol is 0%! Pea protein is a complete protein, exceeding the minimum for all the essential amino acids.
If methylcellulose sounds worrisome to you, don’t fret. It is a chemical compound derived from cellulose and it is used to help maintain regular bowel movements. It’s not toxic.
Canola oil may be the only ingredient that might cause some concern, but the fact that it is expeller-expressed means that a healthier way to produce oil was used. Having canola oil as an ingredient probably explains why a serving of one burger contains 25% saturated fat.
Additional Thoughts
You can fry or grill these patties or throw them on the barbecue. I fried mine and then toasted some bread. I spread some veganaise and mustard on the toasted slices, then placed the pattie on it, put melted vegan cheese on top, and added a slice of avocado. It was very simple, but incredibly good and quite filling.
Beyond Meat just got a new fan 🙂
If you haven’t tried it out yet, please do! The taste is mouthwatering good, I’m not exaggerating. Vegan or meat-eater, you can’t miss out on these patties. Apparently, they have fooled many die-hard meat-eaters into believing they were eating meat, and now I know why 😉
This is what I used for my sandwich:

Hello Christine,
I’m intrigued! Beyond Meat burgers sound delicious and I’m probably going to try them.
I grew up on a farm, so remember very well the fresh eggs, milk, fruits and veggies, and meat. If we didn’t grow or raise it, we didn’t eat it. I’ll admit, I loved our diet. That is until I learned just how barbaric it was.
Years later, I contracted Hepatitis C while working in a nursing home. My doctor put me on a strict diet–no meat–and by the time I recovered, had no desire whatsoever to eat meat again.
Beyond Meat sounds like a good, healthy substitute for those who miss the taste and smell of meat. I’m sure my family will want to try this, so thanks for the review!

Hi Tamara,
After you stop eating meat for a while you lose the craving for it, don’t you? I also have no desire to eat it again. These burgers are incredibly delicious and I’m sure that you and your family will love the taste 🙂
Hi Christine,
It seems like Beyond meat’s ingredients don’t have soy, nuts, gluten, and everyone could definitely try it without worrying about the disadvantages that real meat begins to human bodies. And, your review makes my mouth watering when I read your “jaw-dropping delightful” compliment.
There is one vegan burger restaurant in my city, and they also offer beyond meat burgers. I’ve heard of it, but I never try it. After reading this article, I must order a takeaway as soon as possible. 🙂
Thanks for sharing today,
Matt
Hi Matt,
Definitely give that takeaway a try. You’ll love it! Beyond Meat burgers are so delicious! Let me know what you think after you’ve tried it 🙂
I am amazed. This article is really fascinating, vegan burgers, must be delicious. The reviews for Beyond Meat burgers from you is amazing and i definitely trust your judgement and i will definitely try these burgers even though i’m not vegan.
I did a little research on it, its quite popular and i realised people loved it too as well.
I will definitely share this with my vegan friends as well and i will let you know what they think about it too.
Hi Femi,
Yes, everybody is raving about Beyond Meat burgers and their other products too. I will definitely buy them again soon! ?
So happy to see this. Already a fan. Beyond Meat sausages are also amazing. Even my German husband raves about the sausages, and that says a lot. I enjoy Beyond Meat burgers much as you do: on toasted bread, with lettuce, sliced white onion, sliced tomato, vegan cheese, and ketchup. Or topped with sauteed onions and mushrooms. Fry them in a pan. They’re perfect.
Hi Sue-Ellen,
If a German approves, that’s saying something, isn’t it? 😉 Next time I get the Beyond Meat burgers I will try your recipe, with sliced onions, lettuce, tomato, vegan cheese, and ketchup. It sounds really good 🙂
PS: Will definitely try with avocado. 😀
