I am looking for a smoothie recipe that I was told about that is supposed to help with macular degeneration. It includes kale, collard greens, apple juice, and red/purple grapes. I would like to have it for my Mom who already has this disease and I am looking to drink it myself as I am worried that I may develop it also. Does it matter how much of each ingredient I put in it? Any help or even a different recipe would help. Thank you for your help! Sherry
Here’s a great article I found having to do with macular degeneration and diet: Prevent Macular Degeneration with Diet.

This looks good but did I miss the liquid in this recipe? Do I use water or another liquid? Quanity is not so importnt. Hope someone responds, I really want to try this.
Hi Joan, this recipe was submitted by Ross and I believe its a juice (to be juiced, not blended) so no water is necessary.
hi my name is Donna, glad to meet you. I am seeing a kidney Dr because my readings were high three months ago, readings seem to be coming down to where it should be when she took me off of water pill and another blood presure pill. Anyhow my question for you would be, what type of a healthy drink do you reccomend for me. Thank you so much, Donna NYC
