The catch

Only 10g protein and 12g total sugars (from raisins and orange juice concentrate); Luvo rebranded to Performance Kitchen and is 'temporarily unavailable for ecommerce orders' at retail (source)

The honest take

Low sodium (290mg) with 14g fiber, fully plant-based and certified gluten-free, cooked in avocado oil with 0g added sugar. The label reads 10g protein, 280 calories, 52g carbs, 6g fat, 14g fiber, 12g sugar, 290mg sodium per 1 bowl (291g / 10.3 oz).

Here is the tradeoff. Only 10g protein and 12g total sugars (from raisins and orange juice concentrate); Luvo rebranded to Performance Kitchen and is 'temporarily unavailable for ecommerce orders' at retail. Skip it if you need high protein, watch sugar, or want to buy it easily at a grocery store.
