Now, Dr. Joel Kahn joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™  with three NEW reasons not to eat red meat, some of which might surprise you!

 

Also on the show, does a McDonald’s hamburger or a veggie burger have a bigger impact on diabetes? Dr. Hana Kahleova had 20 men chow down in the name of science to find out. She joins Chuck to go over some eye opening results!

 

Then we unveil The Exam Room Burger! It’s a smoky black bean quinoa burger created exclusively for the show by the ultra-talented vegan chef Lauren Kretzer! This is a recipe you’re not going to want to miss!

vegan, gluten free, oil free

By Lauren Kretzer

Serves 6

 

Ingredients:

• 1 (15.5 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• ½ cup cooked quinoa
• ½ cup walnuts
• ½ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
• ¼ cup oat flour
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 Tbsp tahini
• 1 Tbsp tomato paste
• 1 Tbsp tamari
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp chili powder
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• Whole wheat hamburger buns, sliced avocado, and sprouts, for serving (optional)

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silicone baking mat (such as Silpat).
2. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an “S” blade, add black beans, quinoa, walnuts, cilantro, oat flour, garlic, tahini, tomato paste, tamari, salt, chili powder and paprika. Process until ingredients are just combined; mixture should have some texture, but should hold together.
3. Transfer burger mixture to a cutting board and divide evenly into 6 patties (about 3-3 ½” in diameter).
4. Place burger patties on lined baking sheet and cook for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway.
5. Serve burgers on hamburger buns with avocado and sprouts (and/or any other desired toppings).
