What's in it
Built on Green.
The green base
spinach, banana, pineapple & coconut milk
Fresh spinach, banana, and pineapple blended into something that tastes nothing like a salad.
Our greenbase is Bonita's own recipe — blended for us by a local Illinois production kitchen from raw frozen pulp, then shipped frozen to every shop. No off-the-shelf packets.
The toppings
4 layers on top.
- granola
- strawberry
- blueberry
- honey

Frequently asked
Questions about the Pura Vida.
- What's in the Pura Vida bowl?
- Pura Vida starts with our green base (spinach, banana, pineapple & coconut milk), then gets topped with granola, strawberry, blueberry, honey. Each bowl is $13.95.
- Is the Pura Vida gluten-free?
- Yes — our bases are naturally gluten-free, and so is our granola (it ships in the bowl as built). If you have other dietary needs, flag them at the counter and we'll customize.
- Is the Pura Vida vegan?
- The Pura Vida as built contains honey, dairy in the base or toppings. If you want it fully vegan, ask the team to swap those out — the base and most toppings are plant-based.
