Perk up your Monday Morning

Enjoy this pick-me-up juice made using half a cantaloupe, two pears and a piece of fresh ginger root (Juices & Smoothies , page. 98).  It's a great way to start your morning or to enjoy mid-day, or any time you are looking for a quick and natural energy boost.  Serve over ice.
