One thing that I really like about Brazil is the selection of fruit juice that you can get here. There are lots of juice shops, and just about every resuraunt offers a bunch of juicy fruits to choose from. You have some fruits that you can get in the US: orange, strawberry, lemonade, banana, pineapple, apple. But there's also a lot of fruits that I haven't seen before coming to Brazil: goiaba, cashew (it's not just a nut I found out), mamao, acai. My favaorite is Suco de Acai com Leite (Acai Juice with Milk). I usually stop by a doceria on my way home from capoeira each night and order this drink. It's great to replenishment. Here are pictures of Suco de Acai com Leite and Suco de Cashew.

Cashew nuts are my favorite snack, but I had no idea where they came from. Your comment about cashew drinks got me interested in checking. As usual, wikipedia has a ton of information on the topic. It's quite fascinating.
