Grandmother’s Carrot, Orange & Banana Eye-Support Smoothie
Important note: This drink is nutritious and supports overall eye health, but it does not restore eyesight 100%. Vision problems depend on the underlying cause (such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or medical conditions). For noticeable vision changes, an eye exam with a professional is recommended.
Why These Ingredients Are Good for Your Eyes
Carrots – Rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A to support the retina and night vision.
Oranges – High in vitamin C and antioxidants that help protect eye cells from damage.
Bananas – Provide potassium and vitamin B6, supporting nerve function and reducing eye fatigue.
Flaxseeds (optional) – Contain omega-3 fatty acids that may help with eye moisture and dryness.

1 medium carrot (peeled and chopped)
1 fresh orange (juiced)
½ banana
½ cup water or coconut water
1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds (optional)
How to Prepare
Wash, peel, and chop the carrot into small pieces.
Juice the orange.

Serve immediately for maximum freshness and nutrients.
How to Use
Drink in the morning or as a healthy snack.
Enjoy 3–4 times per week as part of a balanced diet.
