Here in LA, you can't swing a cat without hitting a chic juice shop serving miracle cures through a straw. And while they're all pretty tasty, one that stands out from the crowd with its truly potent health elixirs is Moon Juice. So when the Free People BLDG 25 blog offered me an exclusive peek at an interview they're running with Moon Juice founder Amanda Chantal Bacon, I jumped at the opportunity to share it with you here! Moon Juice is known not only for it's delicious juices and nut milks but also for its unique tonics and apothecary provisions (aphrodisiac Sex Dust, anyone?). Plus the brand's beautiful new Silver Lake location is a true retail masterpiece!
Amanda's journey in the world of holistic wellness began when, as a child in New York City, she overcame chronic respiratory problems using ancient Ayurvedic methods. Since then she's traveled the world studying ancient healing traditions, combining those learnings with her passion for the culinary arts, and even working under chef and whole foods activist Alice Waters! Moon Juice was born from Amanda's desire to raise awareness about the power of medicinal superfoods. Or as Amanda puts it, "I wanted to bridge the gap between the healing world with the foodie world as I had done for myself." Head to the Free People BLDG 25 blog tomorrow for the whole story!
