Pura Vida Juice Bar

If you like eating clean, this is your place. If you like good food, this is your place. If you prefer gluten free food items or vegetarian/vegan items, please come hereeeee. You’ll love it.

One of my favorite things from Pura Vida are the gluten free cookies and I'm pretty sure they're in my top 5 for best cookies. I tried to eat half of the cookie in the car and save the rest as a beach snack, but things didn't exactly work out that way. It was too good to save for later. I also tried the Salted Caramel shake, but as a meal replacement *enters my fitness/health nut mode for a second* The smoothie filled me up completely and I didn't need anything else to feel satisfied. The shake I had, as well as many other shakes, supports a vegan diet while still maintaining excellent flavors. A lot of people assume vegan/healthy = disgusting and that's just not true. Well, not in this situation. While the Salted Caramel was filling, I also had a mango smoothie that felt like more of a snack. Similar to many other options here, this was made with strictly natural ingredients. It's important that you do not expect this to taste like your favorite smoothies from Tropical Smoothie that may be filled with artificial sugars (or you'll be disappointed) , however you may request additional items to be added for sweetness. I added coconut to my smoothie for an extra flavor boost!

Acai bowls, fruit bowls, fruit smoothies, shakes, bomb cookies, wraps, traditional breakfast items, and so much more. I HIGHLY recommend Pura Vida. This place really is an experience and can easily become one of your favorite spots. Basically, Pura Vida offers a variety of food items that are healthy, vegan, gluten free, but more importantly, it tastes good. In fact, as far as this blog is concerned, good tasting food takes priority over any other factor.

Price: PRICEY. Priiicceeyyy depending on your budget, like most things. It’s on South Beach so if you're surprised then you know nothing about Miami. But, I can honestly say that for what they offer, the price makes sense. NATURAL items aren't cheap. Anything healthy isn't cheap and that’s just reality. Fruits/natural items will never be cheap, but if you're serious about being healthy and eating good food, price should be the least of your worries here. Is it worth the money? Yes. Go visit.

Decor: BEAUTIFUL! Outside of that, nothing more really needs to be said. I admire the decor here. Very “earthy”, a grass wall, the lighting is nice, the chairs and table go well with the overall theme. Just an overall great establishment.

Dress: It’s not that serious here, go however you please. This is a “quick bite” which means you can probably can get your food and eat your entire meal in 15 mins.
