2. Mangoes
Mangoes are quite sweet. Even though they contain high amounts of carbohydrates, they are very healthy, as they are loaded with vitamin C, potassium, and an antioxidant known as beta-carotene.
This antioxidant is also seen in carrots and has an impact on mopping free radicals out of cells.

You can have mango juice if you do not like to eat the fruit whole. Just be sure to blend it right. Have fun. (Read: 5 High Fiber Foods for Healthy Gut)
