CRANBERRIES | IMMUNE-BOOSTING ANTIOXIDANTS
Cranberries are rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin C and flavonoids, which help boost immunity and protect against oxidative stress. Their natural tanginess adds a burst of flavor to any dish.
ORANGES | VITAMIN C POWERHOUSE
Fresh oranges are loaded with vitamin C, an essential nutrient for immune support and skin health. Their zest provides a concentrated dose of antioxidants and a vibrant citrus flavor.
ALMOND FLOUR | GLUTEN-FREE NUTRIENT BOOST
Almond flour is packed with healthy fats, protein, and vitamin E. It adds a rich, nutty flavor and moist texture while supporting heart health and keeping you satiated.
GLUTEN-FREE OATS | HEART-HEALTHY FIBER
Oats are a fantastic source of soluble fiber, which helps regulate cholesterol levels and supports digestive health. They provide a hearty texture and nutritional boost to baked goods.

Maple syrup is a plant-based sweetener rich in trace minerals like zinc and manganese. It provides a touch of sweetness without the refined sugars, making it a healthier choice for desserts.
