Our friends at Luna Burger have put together 33 tips for a healthy 2014! For all the tips, visit lunaburger.com. Check out The Hills Market Facebook page through the month of January for more healthy tips and recipes!

TIP #1: KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR FOOD

In the Luna Burger kitchen, and in all 6 veggie burgers, the total number of non-GMO verified, pure plant ingredients is 33. Each burger has between 13 and 17 real whole food ingredients: beans, grains, vegetables, fruits, spices, herbs, vinegar, molasses, maple syrup. One of the best ways to move toward a healthier you is to look at the ingredient list of any processed food you're thinking of buying so you know what's in it! Choose ones that have short lists of recognizable ingredients and don't contain any chemicals, preservatives, or other ingredients you can't pronounce.

2 Peanut Cilantro Luna Burgers
4 large Red Leaf Lettuce leaves (for wraps) or 4 Romaine Leaves (for lettuce boats)

A few sprouts (optional)

Peanut Sauce:

½ cup hot water
2 tbs. soy sauce
2 tbs. honey
