A real whole-food base of lentils and kidney beans, dragged down only by added cream, butter, and a lot of salt.

Why this verdict

• Lentils and kidney beans give real plant protein and fiber
• No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or ultra-processed additives
• Cream and butter add saturated fat to an otherwise lean base
• Sodium is on the high side for a single pouch
