Rating: Not Clean

Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 2/5 green leaf rating, the Dr. Praeger’s Hearty Breakfast Bowl falls short of the clean and healthy standards set forth by our website’s criteria. The product is not organic, and it lacks non-GMO ingredients, which are two significant factors in our evaluation process. Furthermore, the inclusion of corn starch and expeller pressed canola oil, which are considered potentially harmful additives and oils, respectively, detracts from the overall quality of the product.
The breakfast bowl features a mix of scrambled eggs, Dr. Praeger’s Original Oaties, roasted gold potatoes, water, and mild cheddar cheese, alongside a blend of carrot, sweet potato, and butternut squash purees. The cheese powder adds to the cheddar flavor. The eggs are prepared with whole milk and seasoned with sea salt and white pepper, while the Original Oaties contain a variety of ingredients including whole grain rolled oats, quinoa, apples, maple syrup, and a selection of flours and seeds such as amaranth, teff, flaxseed meal, and chia.
Although the bowl incorporates whole foods and grains, the benefits are overshadowed by the absence of organic certification and the presence of genetically modified components. The product’s reliance on corn starch and canola oil further diminishes its standing as a clean food option. These ingredients are often sourced from genetically modified crops and may undergo heavy processing.
The product has room for improvement. To elevate its green leaf rating, a transition to organic ingredients and the elimination of genetically modified elements would be necessary. Additionally, the removal of additives like corn starch and the substitution of canola oil with a healthier alternative would enhance the product’s nutritional profile and align it with the values of consumers seeking cleaner, more natural food choices. The Dr. Praeger’s Hearty Breakfast Bowl has the potential to be a nutritious and convenient option, but it currently does not meet the high standards for clean eating that our website promotes.
