With my decision to lose 40 pound before I turn 40, I’ve decided to incorporate more meatless dishes into our family menu. However, this is no easy task since my oldest daughter is a hardcore carnivore. To keep everyone happy when planning our menu for the week, I plan a couple of meat dishes and a few vegetarian dishes. But eating the same family favorites over and over is tedious. My taste buds crave trying new foods.
Last week, while strolling through the freezer section of my supermarket, I spotted Publix’s version of veggie burgers. Memories of eating and enjoying veggie burgers during my vegetarian days B.C. (before children) flooded my mind. Since I love several of Publix’s store brand products, I decided to try the Greenwise Garden Style Veggie Burgers to see how my family would respond to the reasonably priced beefless burgers.
As I guessed, the Greenwise Garden Style Veggie Burgers were the BOMB! The combination of flavors (mushrooms, carrot, red and green bell peppers) was delicious.
I grilled the burgers under the broiler to give them a little crisp and served them to my family on fresh Kaiser rolls (from the Publix bakery, of course) topped with some lettuce. I ate mine on a wheat Kaiser, topped with a slice of low fat Provolone cheese, red onions, tomatoes, guacamole, some lettuce and a side of cole slaw.
I enjoyed every bite of my veggie burger and it was better than I remembered.
Now link up and see what If I Could Escape and Gone Bananas are serving for this week’s Friday Food Fight.

I pretty much love all-things-Publix. We will definitely give these a try!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Yeah, thanks 4 the insider info. I will be trying the Publix Greenwise brand veggie burgers soon also.
That does look good and I’m a meat eater 🙂
These look YUMMMMM! I’m definitely going to swing by the freezer case to check them out.
YUM! I’m picking some up today! My FFF is going to be late today, but will have it up in a little while! I was not as good as you this week! lol 😉
Wow! Thanks for the tip on the hamburger. I can’t wait to see if we have some in our grocery market.
Yum! I think I’m hungry, because that looks heavenly!
You make healthy burgers actually look appealing…I might even be able to talk my husband into trying one if I show him your pictures!!
You have burgers! GMTA!
Now I want to try veggie burgers!
I don’t think we have a Publix though. I will have to check.
I hope you reach your goal by the time.
Boca brand burgers are good 2.
It does look good had me going till I read there were mushrooms in it!
I am a hardcore carnivore who, I hate to admit, often gives vegetarians a hard time just for the fun of it. But I did eat one of these burgers a while ago and I thought it was very good.
It’s amazing how the mindset helps when trying new things. Even better when an old favorite lives up to your expectations. I’ll be on alert for any other new foods you try – setting a number goal always makes me hesitant.
I tried veggie burgers but can’t get past the no meat thing. But it is a good idea to start going a little veg. I am doing at least 2 meatless days a week!
Mmmm, looks TASTY
I’m so trying Greenwise Garden Style Veggie Burgers at Publix! Thanks for sharing this.
Yum. Looks good to me! (I”m a veggie burger fan!)
I like veggie burgers too but sadly my boys don’t. I usually get the Costco brand but since my boys won’t eat them and there are so many patties in the package I’m usually tired of them before I finish the package. At this point I’m taking a break from them but seeing your post reminded me of why I liked them in the 1st place 🙂 so I’m going to take the plunge and buy another package this week!
I started Weight Watchers 4 weeks ago. I found these Green Wise Veggy Burger two weeks ago. I was thrilled with the taste and satisfaction. I love them! I have used up two boxes! And need more!
I Also purchased Arnolds Sandwich thins. The usual condiments and 15 Fat Free Pringles B.Q chips 5 Weight Watcher’s points! I love meat but I am content and losing weight! 🙂
That’s wonderful to hear and it sounds like you’re off to a great start! Good luck with the weight loss! Please visit again and keep me posted on the progress. 🙂
…and discontinued. You can no longer get Publix veggie burgers. I called and they said they were discontinued due to lack of popularity. I have tried all the brands and Publix has the best by far. Sad.
WHAAT?!!!! I stopped eating these just because I was trying to eat less processed foods. Hearing this news makes me so sad! Let’s start a petition!
Your petition idea is good. Yeah, this really has been a big deal for me. I suggest everyone call customer care as I did: 800-242-1227 (during regular working hours). Publix does take comments seriously. The person I talked to forwarded my concerns to their marketing higher-ups. But, it takes more than just a few calls to make them notice. So please, anyone reading this, call them and voice your concerns. It takes no time at all. Thanks! : )
