These may look like conventional veggie burgers, but they’re secretly healthy, make-ahead meal planning super-stars. The first step is to make up a big batch of the chipotle beet bean burger patties. That way you get your beet-steaming all done at once and use up a full can of black beans. Once you’ve meal prepped those bad boys, they can keep in the fridge for five days, or freeze well to be used later. When you’re ready to bust them out for a meal, try them on a bun or lettuce wrap, smothered with lemon avocado sauce. The sauce itself is also great to batch, as it can be used for a variety of other dishes, too. Win-win.
