#Cellcare ingredient health benefits

OATS | HEART-LOVING & BLOOD-SUGAR BALANCING

Oats are rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that helps regulate cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels. They’re also a great source of plant-based protein and prebiotics that nourish beneficial gut bacteria — essential for healthy digestion and longevity.

SPINACH | CELLULAR REJUVENATION & DETOX SUPPORT

Spinach is loaded with chlorophyll, magnesium, and folate, which help detoxify the liver and support DNA repair. It’s also high in antioxidants like lutein and beta-carotene that protect cells from oxidative stress and promote radiant skin health.

CHERRY TOMATOES | RICH IN LYCOPENE & SKIN-LOVING ANTIOXIDANTS

Cherry tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful carotenoid that supports heart health and skin elasticity. Their vibrant color signals their antioxidant potency — helping protect against cellular aging and inflammation.

FLAXSEEDS | HORMONE BALANCING & OMEGA-3 RICH

Flaxseeds are a super source of lignans and omega-3 fatty acids that support hormone balance and reduce inflammation. They also add fiber and a satisfying texture to the oat cups, keeping you full and focused.

 

WELLKHANA KITCHEN RECIPE

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk)

  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 5 tablespoons water (flax “egg”)

  • 1 cup baby spinach, finely chopped

  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

  • ¼ cup red bell pepper, finely diced

  • ¼ cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess water)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: Nutritional yeast or vegan cheese for extra savory flavor

Instructions:

1. Prep the Flax Egg | In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

2. Mix the Oat Base | In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, olive oil, turmeric, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed and allow the oats to absorb some liquid (about 5 minutes).

3. Add Veggies | Fold in the spinach, tomatoes, bell pepper, and zucchini. Add the flax egg and stir until everything is evenly distributed.

4. Fill the Muffin Cups | Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with silicone liners or lightly grease with oil. Spoon the mixture into each cup, filling about ¾ full.

5. Bake to Golden Perfection | Bake for 25–30 minutes, until firm and lightly golden on top. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin.

6. Serve & Store | Enjoy warm or at room temperature. These oat cups keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days or can be frozen for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.

Optional Garnishes:

  • Sprinkle of fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or chives)

  • Drizzle of tahini or avocado-lime dressing

  • Side of sauerkraut or kimchi for probiotic support
