Ingredient Score:
Awarded a 3/5 green leaves rating, the Purely Elizabeth Dark Chocolate Chunk Superfood Oat mix positions itself as a moderately healthy food option amidst a sea of less nutritious choices. The product prides itself on its inclusion of organic gluten-free oats and a medley of nutrient-dense ingredients such as flax seeds, chia seeds, quinoa flakes, and puffed amaranth. These components contribute to the product’s healthful profile, offering a source of fiber, protein, and essential fatty acids.
The product does, however, incorporate organic coconut sugar and organic fair trade dark chocolate chunks, which, while being organic, contribute to the added sugars content. The presence of organic cane sugar within the chocolate chunks further increases the total sugar content, which detracts from the product’s overall healthfulness. This inclusion of added sugars is a significant factor in the product’s green leaf rating.
On the positive side, the product is non-GMO, which aligns with the preferences of health-conscious consumers who look for foods free from genetically modified organisms. The use of chicory root powder also adds a prebiotic element, supporting digestive health.
Despite these attributes, the product does not qualify as fully organic, resulting in a deduction in its health score. The commitment to non-GMO ingredients and the absence of other harmful additives are commendable, yet the organic status is a notable absence for consumers who prioritize organic products.
The Purely Elizabeth Dark Chocolate Chunk Superfood Oat mix receives a middle-of-the-road rating, reflecting its balance between health-conscious ingredients and the inclusion of added sugars. It stands as a choice that may suit those looking for a product that takes steps towards healthfulness without fully committing to the strictest standards of clean eating. The 3/5 green leaves rating encapsulates this balance, signaling to consumers that while the product has its merits, it also has areas where it does not meet the highest standards for healthy food options.
