A great alternative to the traditional burger, and packed with so much more nutrition especially for the little ones.
Moong and quinoa are both such great sources of protein and plenty of vitamins and minerals. Not forgetting the sweet potato, that not only provides such a beautiful flavour but an excellent source of fibre and antioxidants.
Hope you try it.
