"Summer In A Glass" Cantaloupe Juice

I realize this recipe is seasonally challenged but so is this Texas weather. Cantaloupe went on sale for less than $1/lb. As mentioned before, I plan my juices based on what's on sale and the recipes I find... seasonally appropriate... or not.

An update on my progress for the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Contest at work:

I've had a workout setback since coming down with a sinus infection and now fighting off this chest congestion. My feet haven't hit the pavement in a couple of weeks. Even with the lack of sweat sessions I have managed to drop a few lbs and threw up a 2.8 lb loss this week. Aiming to lose a total of 10 lbs by the December 14th weigh in.

Refreshing Cantaloupe Juice

Looking for a way to sneak veggies into your child's diet? The cantaloupe in this juice masks the flavor of the greens. My 5 year old went crazy for this juice and was not put off by the green color, however, he was hesitant at first until I told him it tasted just like cantaloupe.

Cantaloupe is full of beta-carotene which is converted to Vitamin A.

This juice is refreshing and acts as a body coolant and thirst quencher. This would be the perfect juice recipe to have on hand for next summer.
