If the name of this juice doesn’t make you feel like you’re on a white sandy beach at your favorite resort, I don’t know what will!
Growing up, I was never a fan of cantaloupe, but thankfully in recent years I’ve learned to absolutely love it! One of my favorite preparations of cantaloupe is with mozzarella, prosciutto, and balsamic vinegar, but this juice is definitely giving even my favorite cantaloupe recipe a run for its money!
The health benefits of cantaloupe are rarely highlighted, though this fruit is actually quite the powerhouse. One reason cantaloupe is so nutritious is the high amount of vitamins it contains, including folate. Folate is a B-vitamin that is essential for making red and white blood cells as well as converting carbohydrates to energy. Not only that, but folate plays a role in preventing cancers such as breast, colorectal, lung, pancreatic, esophageal, stomach, cervical, and ovarian cancer among others.1 Protecting your body against anemia is another great benefit when you incorporate the correct daily dose of folate into your diet, and one easy way to do this is with this juice! Just be cautious, as too much folate (as with all vitamins) can actually have negative affects on your body, so always make sure to consult a medical professional regarding daily vitamin dosages.
The blend of apple and mint make for a very dynamic and sweet juice that I highly recommend not only for flavor but also for a little extra love to your body, so be sure to give this recipe a try!
