I stumbled upon Pura Vida Miami - Beverly Hills on their opening day while looking for a healthier lunch spot and I'm so glad I did. You can really feel their mission come through in regards to it being all about wellness, clean eating, and community.
I ordered the Pesto Ahi Tuna Wrap and it was delicious. The raw wild tuna paired perfectly with the jasmine rice, spinach, avocado, and carrots, all wrapped in a hearty whole wheat wrap. The pesto gave it a vibrant, fresh kick. The baked pita chips were a nice touch too.
To drink, I had the Coco Azul Smoothie, which was a blue smoothie made with coconut water, banana, pineapple, mango, blue spirulina, collagen protein, hemp seeds, and shaved coconut. It tasted as good as it looked, and I loved knowing it was packed with nutrients.
For dessert, I took home one of their Matcha Pistachio Cookie but have yet to try it as I am going to give it to my mother as part of her birthday gift. I did hear great reviews about it.
While the prices are on the higher side but also considering the quality of ingredients, portion sizes, and the location (just a block from Erewhon), I actually think it's a better value than the hot bar at said grocery story.
What really sets Pura Vida apart is their commitment to sustainability and community. They compost their food scraps, donate fertile soil to local farms, and even host beach cleanups. It feels good supporting a place that not only feeds you well but gives back in meaningful ways.
It did feel like a little slice of paradise in the middle of Beverly Dr in BH. I'll definitely be back at some point and will share a salad or bowl.
