I read an article about eye health on the Internet the other day. It said that taking a bunch of spinach every day is very good for our eyes because spinach contains lecithin which is a compound of phosphorus. Lecithin is said to work like a kind of cleaner for our blood and cells, but it's difficult to be absorbed effectively into our body because it's insoluble substance. According to the article, soy beans help us to absorb lecithin effectively, therefore, we only have to eat a bunch of spinach with a piece of tofu at one time. We can think of many kinds of recipes using spinach and soy beans, but I think this is the easiest one: "smoothie of spinach and soy beverage". I tried this way this morning; put a bunch of spinach into a blender with an apple and a mango, and pour half cups of soy beverage, and then blend! The result was perfect and I'm thinking about adding blueberries next time. It would be an ultimate recipe for eyes.
I know this site lastweek, and I'm deeply absorbed in reading it.
Each diaries are very interesting, and not so difficult to read.
I would like to improve my English trough this site.
I know blueberries are good for eyes, but I did'nt know that spinach is also good.(Spinach is almighty food, isn't it?)
In addition, tofu is very healthy and popular, so this mixed drink you considered must be excellent for bodies not only for eyes.
I'm wondering the taste. I imagin the taste is so thick and natural.
Did you add some seasonings?
Did it taste good???
I think that most important thing of this drink is freshness. Fresh spinach and tofu will deside the taste a lot! Ratio is very important, too!!!

Thanks for your comment to my blog. The best receipe that I found after several trial is as follows.(Serves 1)
A handful of green spinach
blueberries:3-4 tbsp
banana:1 (medium size)
soy beverage (with Vanilla flavor):1/2 cup
The spinach doesn't smell and doesn't taste bitter at all. It adds just the green color with a lot of nutritive value.
