Adding just 1–5% oyster mushroom powder (Pleurotus ostreatus) to a carrot–tomato smoothie noticeably boosted its nutritional strength. Even the smallest amount improved antioxidant activity, enhanced mineral absorption in a gut-model test, and raised overall functional benefits. The 1% blend tasted best while still delivering meaningful boosts, showing how a little mushroom powder can make everyday foods more nutritious without changing the flavor.
