Missionary Mike Hartman recently took a trip to Puebla. While visiting with the congregation there, he was offered a special drink – beet juice!

Shortly after he returned from the visit, he was in downtown Torreón with a seminary student. He saw a stand selling “jugo de caña,” which his student explained was sugar cane juice. Missionary Hartman bought some to sample. After just a few sips, he felt much more energized!

Mexico has a wide variety of juices. Stands on the street often sell pineapple, peach, carrot, guayaba, and pear juice. If you’re offered a green-colored drink, it’s probably prickly pear juice, another common one here.

Most of the juices here are deliciously refreshing – they help beat the heat on a hot summer day!
