I love this.

Every morning, first thing right before hitting the metro system, we stop by the neighborhood’s juice lady’s stall and get our frist fresh squeeze of fruit of the day. Mix and match (mitad y mitad) for your liter (M25$ · CAD2.10$) or half liter (M15$ · CAD1.25$) of juicy freshness: zanahoria (carrot), betabel (beet), naranja (orange) and toronja (grapefruit). She also make licuados (fruit smoothies) and aguas frescas (fruity water), e.g. lemonade: mix water (slightly sugared) and limes (whole, peel included) then hits frappé.

The best thing about these juice vendors is there are all around the city. So when it’s 3 pm, blistering hot and you’re in dire need of water and sugar to keep you going, these are the most refreshing, invigorating and healthiest stops you could find. To think that in Quebec, our equivalent answer to this is Slush™. Urg.
