I was a cantaloupe enthusiast. At my parents house , we almost didn’t’ run out of melon fruits in the summer. Because dad is such a big fan! I still love it , But not like before, I look for lighter fruits now, like watermelon. But a creamy cantaloupe smoothie without the need to add any cream or dairy, sounds really delicious. and comfort drink. And how about if you add some spice to it? And ginger? Yummmmminess in a cup, that’s what I’m talking about.

Cantaloupe

A summer fruit that relates to melon family. It’s refreshing and delicious!

Why do you need to add cantaloupe to your diet:

There are so many health benefits, let’s  mention some:

•  Has nutrients like vitamin A and C , potassium, low in fats.
• The orange color form the good amounts of beta carotene antioxidant, which may reduce the rick of some cancers, and heart diseases.
• Has good amounts of fibers, that helps digestion.

Cantaloupe with diabetes

Unfortunately, cantaloupe is not a very good option for diabetic patients. They may enjoy it on occasions, so preferably not on a daily basis.

I usually like to add greens to smoothies, but I feel greens won’t fit well with cantaloupe. You can add mint or basil if you wish. This is such an easy recipe, this smoothie is very refreshing and the addition of ginger and nutmeg, transfer the smoothie to the next level. The spiciness with sweetness is such an amazing combo!
