Great! Here’s a natural eye-support smoothie recipe that combines nutrient-rich ingredients scientifically linked to better vision—plus a touch of Oregano Orejón for its antioxidant properties.

🥤 Vision-Boosting Smoothie with Oregano Orejón

✅ Ingredients:

• 🥕 1 medium carrot (rich in beta-carotene / vitamin A)

• 🥬 1 handful spinach (lutein + zeaxanthin)

• 🥭 ½ cup mango or papaya (vitamin C + antioxidants)

• 🥝 ½ kiwi (high vitamin C)

• 🥥 ½ cup coconut water or plain water

• 🥑 ¼ avocado (healthy fats aid nutrient absorption)

• 🌿 2 small fresh Oregano Orejón leaves, finely chopped (or ¼ tsp dried)

• 🍋 Optional: juice of ¼ lemon (for extra vitamin C)

• 🧊 A few ice cubes

🧑‍🍳 Directions:

1. Wash all produce thoroughly.

2. Peel and chop carrot, mango (or papaya), and kiwi into chunks.

3. Add all ingredients to a blender.

4. Blend until smooth—about 30–45 seconds.

5. Taste and adjust: Add a little honey or banana if you want it sweeter.

🧠 Why It Works:

• Carrot + spinach = vision-protective carotenoids

• Oregano Orejón = bonus anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects

• Avocado = helps your body absorb fat-soluble nutrients like lutein
