I've always depended on yummy Chef Max's favorite Boca Burger. My last trip to the store revealed that Boca has pulled Chef Max's favorite and substituted a "great American" burger in it's place. The new burger is 2 points instead of 1 and tastes like an old soy burger from the school cafeteria.
Any suggestions for a worthy substitute for a meat-like soy burger for 1 point? Thanks!
Hi...I just discovered the Vegie burger by Morning star.. 1 pt, 1 patty...It is very very very tasty. Even my husband likes it and he is like Mikey..He doesn't like anything...
I came back from a month overseas to discover all my favorite products had 'new' versions. Must be a summer thing.
I had a new boca burger this past weekend. I honestly didn't look at the box to figure out the points, I hadn't started WW then and was eating whatever. It was slimy, though! Yuck, yuck, yuck.
There's this other brand of veggie burgers I sort of like, they're a little bigger and 2 points, but I can't remember the name. I remember the old Chef's Max! I used to love that one, better than the 2 point veggie burgers, which taste a little too "fake meaty" for me.
I might try the Morning Star burgers. I am absolutely in love with their chicken patties at the moment! I eat them on low-fat English muffins with a dab of mayo and some 2% cheese. Probably 5 points, if I had to guess. Very yummy.
A bit of good news--
It turns out there are two versions of the salsa Boca. One, the "organic" one, which is what I saw in Fresh Fields, IS 130 cal/patty. The regular one which they are selling in grocery stores has gone from 80 to 90 cal, but is still 1 point. I have exhaled.
Hmmm, maybe its just me, but all the Bocas taste about the same to me. I will add, tho, that I had a box of the Great American Classic (or some such name) and they calculated to 3 points!! I was more careful next time at the store to read the label.
Christine, I have tried the garlic burgers (the new ones). They absolutely overpower you with the smell of raw garlic when they begin to thaw. I couldn't even eat one bite.
I guess I'm in mourning, because I've tried every brand I can get my hands on, and nothing tastes as good as Chef Max's original 1 point burger. For those of you who can still find them, enjoy while you can, because the folks at BocaBurger told me they're changing them all, and don't we like the new packaging! I wouldn't mind the new look if the tast were the same!
