Recipe – Low Fat Falafel Burger With Cabbage Wraps

This is one of my most favourite recipes – a standard go to that I make often. It’s completely plant-based, alkaline, inexpensive, easy to make and tastes so nice! Lovely hearty burgers that are totally healthy.

Also, these burgers are both low fat and packed full of plant protein from the chick peas.

The cabbage wraps make a lovely, lighter and crunchy alternative to unhealthy and stodgy burger baps and really go well with the flavour of the burgers, the chutney and the tomato and onion garnish.

Give them a go today, you’ll love them!
