Most of the time, convenient functional foods and on-the-go protein snacks are designed to help you boost your protein throughout the day with as little fat, carbohydrates, and sugar without taking away from the overall taste and texture. That is not exactly the case with Flaming Phoenix, a functional innovator out of the United Kingdom, with its flagship being the Phoenix Bar, and it’s all about trying to conveniently get in as many calories as possible.
Flaming Phoenix’s signature Phoenix Bar is promoted as an ultra-high-energy flapjack, and the list of ingredients it uses isn’t all that long. The product has a base of gluten-free rolled oats and oat flour, added sugar, soy isolate and pea crisps to boost the protein, coconut oil, glycerine, and various flavoring components. As for the nutrition profile, you get 60 to 66g of carbohydrates, about 18g of protein, 20 to 26g of fat, and calories ranging from 527 to 557.
Again, the goal behind Flaming Phoenix’s functional food is to give you as much nutrition in a small package, and at 18g of protein, up to 66g of carbs, and as much as 557 calories, it’s a beast of a bar. You can also break it up by throwing it into a smoothie, mixing with water to make porridge, or wherever else you see fit. If you like the idea of a mass gainer protein bar, feel free to check out the brand’s website, where you can get the Phoenix Bar in six flavors.
