Bill’s OZ-ified Chia Burger With Acai Special Sauce, Spicy Home-Cured Pickles and Asparagus “Fries”

Chef Brett Reichler of Bill’s Bar and Burger in New York City shares this healthy take on a classic burger. He uses the chia super-seed to bulk up the burger and incorporates tofu into the sauce for a smooth, low-fat mayonnaise alternative. At approximately 400 calories, you can’t go wrong with this deliciously juicy burger. For another low-calorie burger option, try the Scooped Turkey Burger.
