Celestial Goodies

Moon Juice founder Amanda Chantal Bacon has developed a cult following in Los Angeles for raw juices and organic vegan foods that promise good health. As the creator and chef, she’s building an incredible lifestyle empire committed to 100 per cent organic and natural provisions. Bacon opened her first cold pressed juicery in Venice in 2011, then added a Silver Lake location last year and opened the one month old kiosk at the Ace Hotel Downtown. With a fine dining background- former apprentice to celebrity chef Suzanne Goin in LA and food and wine editor-  the New York-bred Bacon has always been interested in health in the relation to the body and holistic medicine.

Moon Juice has now introduced an e-commerce site which features its new house line of nutritional supplements, packaged foods, and body products. With the launch of the web store, the apothecary and the rest of the world of Moon Juice will finally be available to non-Angelenos. The site offers a lunar library encompassing both informational and inspirational books, cosmic provisions such as nut-based crisps and local delivery-only fermented sea vegetables, and even chocolate – cacao is touted as an aphrodisiac, stress reliever, and energy booster. A filter-by-benefit feature helps online shoppers choose from obscure health boosters, and the moon dusts – or herbal blends – have names that reflect their targets such as Brain, Sleep, Sex, and Spirit. You can also find Ayurvedic toothpastes, jumbo-sized crystals, and flower remedies. Bacon has made her out-of-this-world brand totally down-to-earth. www.moonjuiceshop.com
