Just in case you needed a valid excuse to chow down this weekend, today (May 28) is International Burger Day. However, step away from McDonald’s drive thru as we’ve lined up three of our favourite healthy burger alternatives, including vegan and carb-free options.
Just because you might be watching your weight doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy International Burger Day, here’s top three healthy burgers available in Dubai:
The ‘Low Carbinator’ from Burger Fuel
By stripping back on additives, preservatives, salt and sugar, Burger Fuel tends to be healthier than your typical burgers (and their signature aioli sauce doesn’t hurt either). For those of us watching our carb intake or avoiding gluten, they now provide a low carb version of any of their burger patties. Pick a beef, chicken, vegetarian or vegan-inspired burger from the menu and ask for it ‘low carborator’ style to have it served wrapped in crispy lettuce instead of a bun.
