Wash all produce thoroughly.
Cut the guava into chunks (you can keep seeds if your blender is strong).
Add spinach/kale, carrot, guava, seeds, and liquid to a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Taste and add honey if desired.
Serve immediately for best nutrient retention.
Notes
Guava seeds contain fiber but can make the texture gritty; blend well or strain if needed.
For a thicker smoothie, add a banana.
For a tangier flavor, replace water with extra citrus juice.
Carrot adds beta-carotene, which becomes vitamin A, important for vision.
Tips
Use pink guava for higher lycopene content (a strong antioxidant).
Always consume fresh—vitamin C degrades over time.
Combine this smoothie with regular eye-healthy habits: hydration, breaks from screens, and balanced diet.
If you have an eye condition, see a clinician—diet alone won’t cure eye problems.
Servings
Makes 1–2 servings (about 14–16 oz total).

Health Benefits (General Wellness, Not Medical Treatment)
Vitamin C from guava supports immune function and general tissue health.
Lutein & zeaxanthin (spinach/kale) are linked to long-term eye protection.
Beta-carotene (carrot) supports normal vision.
Healthy fats (chia/flax) help absorb fat-soluble nutrients.
Hydration from fruits/liquids may reduce dryness symptoms.
Q & A
Q1: Can guava cure eye redness, infections, or blurry vision?
No. Guava cannot treat eye diseases or infections. Redness, pain, swelling, or sudden vision changes require medical care.
