Food for your EYES

 

Citrus Berry Smoothie

Supercharge your eyes in the A.M. with this smoothie. Fresh berries, orange juice, and toasted wheat germ fill you with vitamins E and C -- nutrients that may help protect against age-related macular degeneration.



Curried Carrot Soup

It's no secret that carrots are good for your eyes. But they go down a lot easier in a light, creamy tasting soup like this one

Crispy Phyllo Spinach Tartlets

What doesn't taste better wrapped in phyllo? With spinach as a filling in these little tarts, you get a most delicious source of lutein and zeaxanthin -- nutrients that help shield eyes from light damage.

Bean and Butternut Tacos with Green Salsa

Try a totally new twist on tacos. The beans and butternut squash in this veggie-based filling add extra fiber and vision-bolstering beta carotene

Triple-Nut Biscotti

Made with dried fruit and vitamin E-rich wheat germ and nuts, these smart cookies can be enjoyed guilt-free any time of day with a cup of coffee

Strawberry-Orange Muffins

These muffins taste as good as those at your corner bakery, but with a lot fewer calories and a lot more vitamin C. Makes them ideal for your eyes and your pants size
