This video is a taste test of the Beyond Meat brand's Beyond burger, along with my first thoughts on the plant-based 365-brand plant-based cheese.

I also throw in a tutorial that demonstrates how to make hearty, soft, and delicious ketogenic sesame seed rolls. I was out of instant yeast but subbed in baking powder and baking soda to help the rolls rise, instead.

I think this burger option could work or someone who's opposed to eating meat, but the Beyond doesn't top the taste and texture of ground grass-fed and grass-finished beef—just my opinion.

However, I wanted to give the product a try and see how it behaves and tastes. I could see this meat alternative as a base of Shepard's pie or the ground meat sub in keto tacos—especially if your goal is to eat a mostly meatless ketogenic diet.

Beyond Cheeseburger Macros, one burger with bun (as shown in video):

Macros: Cals 309 | Fat 25g | Carbs 8g (6 net carbs per burger with fixings as shown) | Fiber 2g | Protein 15g

Recipe:

- 3/4, Beyond Meat burger pattie (seared) 
- I found the original pre-made burgers a little too thick. I would suggest reforming the burgers or just getting the packed meat unformed and spread out the burger meat a bit thinner to help with the texture.
- 1 slice, 365-brand plant-based cheddar 
- 1 tbsp, Mayonnaise
- 3 slices, ripe Roma tomato
- 3 leaves, Iceberg or Butter lettuce
