On pretty much every single corner of Rio de Janeiro, you will find a juice bar serving up some of the freshest tropical drink in the world. Brazil is known for having some of the most exotic fruits in the world and so many of them get juiced for a delicious healthy drink or smoothie. A cup of freshly squeezed cold juice is only a couple of dollars whereas in the US you won’t find a juice bar that sells fresh juice for less than $5 so when you come to Brazil, you have to explore the variety of fruit juices that you might not even know exist.
While most juice bars in larger cities in Brazil have English and Portuguese menus, I noticed the names of the fruits are not always translated so I put together a list of the popular fruit juices with the Portuguese and English name. You might even be surprised of the types of fruits they offer in Brazil to juice like eggplant!
Drink to your health, well-being and pleasure!
