The founder of L.A.’s hottest wellness boutique, Amanda Chantal Bacon offers the ultimate resource for foodies looking to restore their health the natural way, using functional foods to create seriously healing drinks, snacks, and sweet treats.
Since Amanda Chantal Bacon founded Moon Juice in 2011, it has evolved into one of the nation’s fastest growing wellness brands, and in The Moon Juice Cookbook, she artfully distills her powerful approach to healthy living, sharing over 75 recipes for the brand’s most popular healing beverages and provisions. Amanda’s recipes harness the healing properties of adaptogenic herbs, raw foods, and alkalizing ingredients to create potent drinks, snacks, and sweets that deliver a multitude of benefits, including sparked libido, glowing skin, and boosted immunity. She begins by guiding readers through the fundamentals of the Moon Juice kitchen, teaching them how to stock the larder with milks, juices, cultured foods, and “unbakery” doughs and crèmes—all of which can be mixed and matched to create nutritionally turbo-charged meals with minimal effort—and the essential time- and money-saving strategies they’ll need to make their new kitchen practices stick. With recipes for healthful, delectable indulgences like Strawberry Rose Geranium Bars, Hot Sex Milk, Savory Tart with Cheese and Tomato Filling, Pulp Brownies with Salted Caramel Sauce, Yam Julius Milk, and Chocolate Chaga Donuts, The Moon Juice Cookbook is the stylish yet pragmatic roadmap readers need to achieve optimal wellness in a natural and delicious way.

Amazing book: A bit of chemistry book in parts but I love the originality, the story, the recipes and the stunning pictures. first became aware of Moon juice though a blog I follow and though I am not luck enough to be close enough to the store to shop in person; have slowly but surely been trying out some of their various different potions such as beauty, brain and dream dust, made of adaptogenic herbs. So when I saw the book, I knew I had to have it. If nothing else for the fact that as the Amazon sneak peak reveals, it is loaded with simply breathtaking photography!Hopefully when you purchase this…
for better or worse This book could’ve only come out of LA, for better or worse. The author and lifestyle approach are very aspirational, and could be misinterpreted as snobbish or arrogant. It’s seems like more of a brand maintenance piece, with a few actually usable recipes thrown in. But that being said, I already have knowledge in this area and am driving toward a similar relationship with food. I’m another plant-based not-quite-vegan young woman who has a selective palate of “weird” ingredients, but…
Not all of the recipes are straightforward and give good results, esoteric ingredients. The book IS aesthetically beautiful, as many people have commented on, and I do like how she explains the organization of her food prep. The juices and smoothies I have tried have been great-although even for me some of the ingredients are obscure and I will probably never buy them…Two of the recipes I tried were not very successful-the maca/banana walnuts-there was way too much liquid for the nuts, and you need solid trays or siicone mats for your dehydrator…the green crackers also…
