The catch

One pouch carries 560mg sodium, about 24 percent of the daily value, which is the main thing to watch on an otherwise clean label. (source)

The honest take

This is a shelf stable microwave pouch of cooked organic quinoa mixed with black beans, corn, tomatoes, jalapenos and spices, ready in about 90 seconds. The ingredient list is genuinely clean, all organic and recognizable, with coconut oil instead of seed oils and 0g added sugar, and the whole 8 ounce pouch delivers 15g plant protein and 8g fiber. The real catch is sodium, since one pouch carries 560mg, so it eats up roughly a quarter of your daily limit before anything you add. As a fast whole grain base it earns its spot, just treat the pouch as a full meal component rather than a light side.
