Punctuation : or ;

Help me find out the correct sentence.

I like eating fruits : they make me healthy.
OR
I like eating fruits ; they make me healthy.

Both punctuation marks are possible, but both are incorrectly spaced. The use of "fruits" is also a bit unnatural. You can say this: I like eating fruit: it makes me healthy.
