The cantaloupe includes plenty of vitamin C, vitamin A and beta carotene, all of which help to boost your immune system. Blueberries add more antioxidants, the mint will help to settle the digestive system and you’ll enjoy other important nutrients from other healthy ingredients, such as the spinach, lime and apple.
