The catch

One bowl packs 870mg of sodium, about 38 percent of a day, and leans on ultra processed protein isolates plus added colors, so treat it as an occasional convenience, not an everyday clean meal. (source)

The honest take

A creamy mac and cheeze bowl that actually delivers 15g of plant protein with zero dairy, so comfort food here does not mean an empty protein count. The label reads 15g protein, 360 calories, 44g carbs, 14g fat, 2g fiber, 2g sugar, 870mg sodium per 1 bowl (9 oz).

Here is the tradeoff. One bowl packs 870mg of sodium, about 38 percent of a day, and leans on ultra processed protein isolates plus added colors, so treat it as an occasional convenience, not an everyday clean meal. Skip it if you are watching sodium or want a short whole food ingredient list.
