Healthy, because
If beta-carotene content were a competition, cantaloupe would win by a long shot. This fruit has more beta-carotene than any other orange-yellow fruit! Inside the body, beta-carotene is either converted into Vitamin A or acts as an antioxidant to fight free radicals. Vitamin A supports healthy eyes, the immune system, and keeps red blood cells healthy.
Even smarter
You can always substitue cantaloupe for another melon such as honeydew or add other fruits and berries of your choice.
