Does anyone feel that eating low-carb is energy zapping? Anyone have any tips to gain energy at the same time eliminating carbs?

Guys you have to TRY this!!
It seems weird to put carrots in an oatmeal, but its SO good!
I’ve made it already twice for me and my boyfriend, we could snack on this oatmeal all day long!

Zuzka I am looking everywhere for a zucchini muffin recipe! All recipes I find are so calorie dense or use sugar and flour… do you accept my challenge to try to make a low calorie yummy zucchini muffin recipe? :p

I love carrot cake and I love oatmeal, so I was pretty excited to try this recipe. Wow! So tasty! I made mine with just a little honey instead of maple or agave, but I was curious–what makes this meal a WEM? Is it the oats? All the sugar from the carrots and raisins? Just wondering π
