Instead, it\u2019s sweetened with allulose, offering the creamy texture and sweetness customers expect while supporting the brand\u2019s wellness-first philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u201cConsumers are looking for balance when it comes to dessert, so we wanted to create an option that fits their lifestyle without sacrificing enjoyment,\u201d Horev says. \u201cBy using creamy Greek yogurt, which is naturally rich in protein, we created a dessert that delivers on both taste and nutrition. It\u2019s a feel-good treat inspired by the benefits of Greek yogurt that fits seamlessly into a wellness-focused lifestyle and satisfies a sweet craving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sweetener is allulose, which delivers sweetness and a creamy texture without breaking the sugar bank; there is no refined sugar in this recipe!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1684.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-137860383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1684.jpg\" alt=\"Froyo at Pura Vida.\" width=\"687\" height=\"1200\" title=\"From Miami to New York: Pura Vida is redefining the New York cafe scene 2\"  \/><\/a>Froyo at Pura Vida.Photo by Bridgette Leahy\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSummer in NYC was the perfect opportunity to introduce these refreshing desserts that align with how our guests are eating today,\u201d Horev says. \u201cWe wanted something that feels indulgent while staying true to our ingredient-first philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Out of the two Greek yogurt flavors, Berry Bliss and Amalfi Swirl, Pura Vida recommends guests try both to see which one they gravitate towards the most.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted two distinct flavors-one bright and berry-forward and the other rooted in Mediterranean-inspired flavors with toasted nuts, extra virgin lemon-infused oil and Maldon salt-so there\u2019s something for everyone!\u201d \u201cThis same goes for our toppings; we\u2019re always exploring new ideas, and guests\u2019 feedback plays a big role in shaping what comes next,\u201d Horev says.<\/p>\n<p>This is just the beginning of Pura Vida\u2019s sweet treat journey.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re actively working on innovation and will be introducing NY-exclusive flavors in the months to come, so we\u2019re open to exploring new ideas, and it\u2019s definitely something we\u2019ll keep in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1681.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-137860384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_1681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"1200\" title=\"From Miami to New York: Pura Vida is redefining the New York cafe scene 3\"  \/><\/a>Pura Vida is reimagining the cafe experience in NYC.Photo by Bridgette Leahy<\/p>\n<p>As Pura Vida continues to expand its presence, the brand hopes to offer more than just healthy meals, specialty drinks, and desserts.
