Gear Up for Game Day with The Blend

Tailgate with blended burgers! 

Are you ready for some fun(gi) this fall? As tailgating continues to heat up across the country, it’s time to gear up for the big games with umami-packed blended burgers. Mixing in mushrooms with your favorite proteins adds important nutrients to your burgers, like vitamin D, B vitamins, antioxidants and potassium (9%). Plus, mushrooms are low in calories, fat free and cholesterol free. By incorporating The Blend into your game day spread, not only will you get another serving of vegetables but you’ll also add bulk and volume to your burgers, giving you more game day fare to share with your friends!

Building your #GameDayBlend burger is simple:

1. Chop up your favorite mushroom variety to match the consistency of the ground meat.
2. Blend the chopped mushrooms with the ground meat (we recommend a 30/70 blend of mushrooms/meat for burgers).
3. Cook your mushroom-meat blend to complete the burger recipe.

Optional: Prior to chopping, roast mushrooms for 10-15 minutes to enhance flavor. Cool, then chop and blend.
