The Power Trio: Oatmeal, Apples, and Carrots

1. Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a fantastic base for many healthy recipes. It’s packed with fiber, which helps keep you full and supports digestive health. Oats also have a low glycemic index, meaning they release energy slowly and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Apples are naturally sweet and full of vitamins, especially vitamin C. They add a wonderful sweetness and moisture to recipes, making them a perfect substitute for sugar. Plus, their natural fibers contribute to a healthy digestive system.

3. Carrots

Carrots add a subtle sweetness and a vibrant color to your dishes. They are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body, promoting good vision and a strong immune system.
