Quinoa Lentil Burger (Recipe)
The quinoa lentil burger is full of vitamins and minerals. It is a vegetarian burger and will be appreciated by meat-eaters when tasted.
Lentils are high in fibre and are packed with tryptophan, an amino acid that the body uses to make mood-boosting serotonin. Turkey is also a good source. They’re also an excellent source of B vitamins, which help improve mood by increasing levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine which can help make us feel good.
