The Resemblance to an Athlete’s Tray is Uncanny

From left to right: strawberry, chicha, pineapple, orange, strawberry

Being at a small liberal arts school with a large number of athletes, I always see trays in the cafeteria loaded with 5 or 6 different beverages (including, but not limited to: powerade, water, milk, soda, and an assortment of juices). As appealing as the seemingly limitless number of drink combinations sounds, I still reminisce about the delicious variety of fresh juices I had in Peru.

My favorite is definitely the strawberry juice, but you can also find extraordinary orange juice in Peru which gives Florida a run for its money. Some more exotic juices include pineapple juice, grandilla juice, and chicha (which is too sweet for me; it is made from Peruvian purple corn).

Right now, I am very content settling for my old reliable friend, water.
