Sex Bark, Spirit Truffles & a Moon Juice Kitchen Takeover

Moon Juice is magic. Like, real magic. When it first launched in 2011, it was pretty stealth about this fact: The fresh-pressed juices were some of the more delicious ones in LA, and the nut milks were outrageously good, sure, but over the years the concept has become strikingly unique. For one, the founder, Amanda Chantal Bacon is a bad-a$* entrepreneur and single mom who built her business from the ground up. But she is also other-worldly: She literally glows from within, making any encounter with her, an “I’ll have what she’s having” moment. For the past few years, Amanda’s been hard at work developing an extensive line of healing and really, really obscure (and rad) dusts, powders, and other concoctions that are unlike anything else out there (pearl powder anyone?). Don’t know what Mucuna, Ho Shou Wu, and Brain Dust are? Neither did we, so we asked her to come over and show us how to use them: We had a blast learning about their powers while making some seriously delicious drinks and chocolates.
