Jugos Canada is one of the highlights of the Centro Historico in Mexico City.

It is a simple, unpretentious and incredibly busy juice bar and torta stall that serves juices, licuados and salads from morning until late at night.

Make sure you ask for your juices without sugar.

For vegetable lovers try:

• Pepino
• Apio
• Alfalfa
• Perejil
• Nopal and even
• Jicama

If you don't drink orange or grapefruit juice order it with water.

If it tastes sweet then take it back, they often forget your order and add sugar.

If you are so inclined, forget all your good work and order a torta. They are some of the best in Mexico City. The vegetarian is great. Anything with quesillo or stringy Oaxacan cheese is a highlight.

The Green Corner is an organic and natural food mini market. It also has a cafe that serves juices.

While the products are great the cafe is a little disappointing, and unless you are looking for wheatgrass only there is not much else on offer juice wise.

Found at the corner of Amsterdam and Michoacán, Frutos Prohibidos is always busy, morning until night. It is one of the most interesting cafes in Mexico City.

The menu is actually not great for vegetarians or green juice lovers, and you have to fight for your rights amongst the crowd and the staff.

The goat's cheese and tomato salad is a standout - but if you are serious about your health avoid the wraps, no matter how good they look in someone else's hands.

For the juice focus on:

• Nopal
• Pepino
• Alfalfa
• Apio

You have to order this specially, make sure if has no sugar or anything else.

And then find a seat, sip away and enjoy watching the chilangos.

The Mercado de Coyoacán or Coyoacan Market is a fabulous place. It has incredible tostadas de ceviche, wonderful seafood, great fruit and vegetables, meat and pozole.

But if you, like cyclists, tourists and locals, need a green juice to pick yourself up in the morning head to the food section where there are three juice stands in a row.

You will need to order the juice with water and without sugar.

The best combination is:

• Pepino
• Apio
• Perejil
• Nopal

They also have great grapefruit juice freeshly squeezed.

Great cafe in Coyoacán, Mexico City, that has a fabulous range of freshly squeezed juices.

The highlights are:

• Pepino, Limon y Menta
• Apio, Pepino y Nopal
• Betabel, Apio, Zanahoria, Jitomate, Pepino

The tortas, ensaladas and sandwiches are all great.

Makes a great lunch just outside the hubbub of Coyoacán, on Avenida Mexico between Viena and Berlin.
