About FLAMING OATS®
Q. What is FLAMING OATS®?
A: Sure, oats is in the name, and it starts with oats, but FLAMING OATS® is no basic bowl of mush. NO, NO NO, it’s so much more than that. It’s a premium, plant-based PROTEIN powerhouse, loaded with superfoods that crank it up to a complete meal. And a complete meal provides all essential macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals).
Q: Is it a meal replacement?
A: Yes! A "meal replacement" shouldn’t taste like cardboard or leave you hungry an hour later. It should fuel you like a beast, with protein, healthy fats, complex carbs, fiber, and all the vitamins and minerals your body actually craves. And, it will give you sustained energy for hours.
FLAMING OATS® has both your macronutrients as well as micronutrients, which makes it a complete meal.
Q: Why is FLAMING OATS® different from regular oatmeal?
A: Most oatmeal is sweet. FLAMING OATS® flips the script with bold savory flavors, satisfying texture, plant-based protein, and functional nutrition designed to keep you full (it’s a complete meal) and energized longer without taking your blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride or making you crash.
Q: Is FLAMING OATS® only for breakfast?
A: Nope. FLAMING OATS® was created to be a complete meal for breakfast, lunch, dinner, travel, outdoor adventures, and everything in between.
Q: How many servings are in a pack?
A: Officially? One. Unofficially? Depends on how big your appetite is. We give you a lot of food, it's a hearty, hearty bowl. Plus it's so nutrient-rich you may find that it satisfies you half way through the bowl. But that's because we designed it so you could skip a meal if you had to. So many of our customers tell us they get two meals out of one.
But there're fun ways to eat the left-overs, check out our blog for recipes!
Q: How long is the shelf-life?
A: We made it to 12 months before the lab ran out of product, but we think the Best By period is likely to 18 months (we're currently testing for that).
Q: Is it created by health experts?
A: Nope—and that’s the magic. FLAMING OATS® wasn’t dreamed up in some lab by people who’ve never missed a meal. It was created by our founder—an everyday busy human who wanted a fast, legit healthy option that didn’t suck.
Q. Will I like it?
Well, we can't say for sure, but it isn't like any other oatmeal you've had before, that we can say for sure.
The texture is thick and chewy, not thin and mushy. And the taste is spicy, salty, delicious. Oh, and mild flavors too!

Ingredients & Nutrition
Q: Are the oats in FLAMING OATS® organic?
A: Yes! FLAMING OATS® is made with organic whole grain oats. We intentionally choose organic oats because many conventional oat crops are sprayed with glyphosate-based herbicides before harvest as a drying method. Health-conscious customers often prefer organic oats to help reduce their exposure to synthetic pesticides and unnecessary chemicals in their food.
At FLAMING OATS®, we believe clean ingredients matter. That’s why we focus on high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients that support a healthier lifestyle without sacrificing bold flavor. Our organic oats are part of our commitment to creating convenient, satisfying plant-based meals you can feel good about eating.
Q: What are “Functional Superfoods” in FLAMING OATS®?
A: FLAMING OATS® is packed with functional superfoods — nutrient-dense ingredients chosen not just for flavor, but for the way they help fuel and support the body. Functional superfoods provide benefits beyond basic nutrition by delivering important nutrients, antioxidants, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals that may support overall wellness, energy, digestion, heart health, and satiety.
Some of the functional superfoods found in FLAMING OATS® include:
- Organic whole grain oats for fiber, complex carbohydrates, and long-lasting energy
- Organic hemp hearts for plant-based protein, healthy fats, magnesium, iron, and omega fatty acids
- Nutritional yeast for B vitamins and savory umami flavor
- Herbs and spices that add antioxidants and bold flavor without relying on excess sugar
