Blender Beverage for Eye Health

Serves: 4 Servings
 
The ingredients in this recipe are all helpful with eye health because they contain vitamins such as A, C, E, and carotenoids such as Lutine and Zeaxantihin. Cantaloupe is a rich source of provitamin A and it actually contains more beta carotene than oranges. Strawberries are among the top of the scale for fruits that contain vitamin C. Almonds contain vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant. Flax is rich in omega 3 fatty acids and the juices are another source of those wonderful carotenoids. So when you drink this up at breakfast (or anytime during the day) you will be on your way towards lowering the risk of eye-related conditions such as macular degeneration, cataract formation, and night blindness. What a bright “EYE-deal” to fill up your glass with this tasty beverage to help support your vision!
