Eye-Healthy Niagara Springtime Soup Sippers Recipe

Chilled soup sipper or juice? This versatile recipe by chef Anna Olson can work both ways.

The green peas are full of vitamin C, with a significant amount of vitamin A as well. The apples and leafy greens contain other important nutrients for eyes.

The mint is a good source of several antioxidants. And the Greek yogurt offers a beneficial dose of protein.
