A base-$g$ Niven number is a natural number divisible by the sum of its base-$g$ digits. We show that, for any $g\geq 3$, all sufficiently large natural numbers can be written as the sum of three base-$g$ Niven numbers. We also give an asymptotic formula for the number of representations of a sufficiently large integer as the sum of three integers with fixed, close to average, digit sums.
