Ingredient Score:
The Sweet Earth Foods Protein Lovers Breakfast Bowl earns a green leaf rating of 1/5 on our scale, reflecting its position at the lowest end of our health-conscious spectrum. This product is a breakfast option that includes potatoes, cooked eggs, cheddar cheese, spinach, plant-based bacon bits, plant-based sausage, onions, water, and sea salt. However, its ingredients raise several concerns from a clean eating perspective.
This breakfast bowl is not organic, which detracts from its potential health benefits. It also fails to use non-GMO ingredients, a significant factor for many health-conscious consumers. The presence of added sugars, specifically cane sugar and citric acid, further diminishes its standing. Cane sugar, a more concerning form of added sugar, is particularly problematic. Additionally, it contains potentially harmful additives like natural flavors and corn starch, which could have adverse effects on health.
Maltodextrin, an ingredient known for its potential negative health impacts, is also found in this product. This additive is often associated with spikes in blood sugar and may disrupt gut health. The use of canola oil, a refined oil, contributes to the product’s low score due to the potential health risks and environmental concerns associated with its production and processing.
Given these factors, the Sweet Earth Foods Protein Lovers Breakfast Bowl is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. Its ingredient list includes several items that are at odds with a diet focused on organic, non-GMO, and additive-free foods. The presence of harmful oils, sugars, and additives makes this product unfit for our highest green leaf ratings, and we advise consumers to consider alternative products that align more closely with the principles of clean eating.
