East Liberty's Kahuna Poke and Juice Bar, located at 132 S. Highland Ave., tops the list. Yelpers give the island-inspired spot, which serves cold-pressed juices and smoothies, 4.5 stars out of 60 reviews.

Design your own poke bowl or indulge in one of the spot's signature offerings like the Firecracker Shrimp with Sichuan mayo, panko, green onion radish, fresh herbs, masago and peanuts. 

Thirsty? Try a refreshing juice like the Emerald Jack — a cold-pressed concoction of cucumber, green apple, celery, pineapple, kale and lemon. A selection of wine, craft beer and cocktails are on offer as well, along with healthy non-alcoholic shots and elixirs.

Over in Squirrel Hill, check out GreenLight Juice, which has earned five stars out of 17 reviews on Yelp. You can find the store that offers organic juice, smoothies and health shots at 2108 Murray Ave.

The joint comes courtesy of co-owners Bill Donahue and Chris D 'Orazio, the business says on its website, two health enthusiasts who "set out on a mission to source only the highest quality 100% organic ingredients from sustainable family farms."

Stop in and start your juice cleanse today with offerings like Beet Boast, Greens II and Almond Milk consisting of coconut, dates, almonds, vanilla extract and filtered water. (You can check out the online shop here.)
