These spinach-mozzarella stuffed burgers are an easy way to impress your friends! Besides the fact that they are delicious, they are so much easier to make than anyone would ever believe!

Further Food Commentary:

I love how fancy these spinach-mozzarella stuffed burgers look and how delicious they taste! With only 1g of carbohydrates (0g sugar!) and 33g of protein, these burger patties are perfect for the paleo diet and keto if you allow mozzarella and parmesan cheese! Each serving is also a great source of iron, providing 18% of your daily needs. Thanks to the cheese you are also provided with 15% of your daily calcium needs!

Founder's story:

"My father had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, my mom was
managing her hypothyroid, and my best friend was struggling with painful IBS.
I went online to search for food-based and natural solutions that could help
them heal. But what I found was scattered, disorganized, and left me more confused. I thought, ‘There must be an easier way to discover solutions for various ailments from real experts and from people who had done it themselves. So I decided to build a resource—a platform for food as medicine solutions
for all your health needs. And I decided to take the wisdom from this community to create real food based products that heal.
