I have been obsessed with creating low cal meals for Carl and I as we venture into our weight loss journey together. It’s so much fun to come up with new ways to enjoy D to the LISH food that still has all the flavors but with less calories! I have to say, 30 days in and we’re both feeling so much better! Making good decisions for our bodies has certainly been the best thing for both of us! These chicken burgers are loaded with so much flavor. The veggies and herbs combined with the nonfat tzatziki sauce takes these patties to another level! I served them “bunless” as we are watching our carb intake, but you can certainly have a bun with these beauties! They are perfect either way. Add them to your must try list and whip up a greek salad to side them with! WW 1pt per serving.
