New GOOP: Gwyneth Paltrow Suggests We Make Sex Bark (With A Sprinkle Of Sex Dust)

The actress has teamed up with Moon Pantry to bring us recipes for beauty milk, spirit truffles and a special aphrodisiac chocolate treat

Sometimes we just love Gwyneth Paltrow so hard it hurts.

Who else could so enthusiastically write: “Don’t know what Mucuna, Ho Shou Wu, and Brain Dust are?…We had a blast learning about their healing powers while making some seriously delicious drinks and chocolates.”

Dust, anyone?

This time she's teamed up with amazingly-named Moon Juice Pantry to bring her eager readers some recipes involving magic powders and potions that promise to do everything from boosting the sex drive to balancing the thyroid. Impressive claims.

If you're wondering what a pantry called Moon Juice could possbibly sell, it describes itself as: "A comprehensive resource for medicinal, cold pressed, certified organic juices, Moon Milks, raw and sprouted Cosmic Provisions, Moon Dusts, the Moon Pantry, and an apothecary full of miraculous lifestyle tools.

Adding: "We are a tangible touchstone for a community excited about a new way of living."

So now you know.

Amanda Chantal Bacon created the company. She's a 'World-traveling chef, mama, sustainable lifestyle leader, and passionate medicinal food educator.'

It's so LA it hurts. There is an entire section of the website dedicated to 'Cosmic Provisions'.

Amanda has shared a few of her recipes (which all include a a variety of products available from her website, natch) including Beauty Milk, Spirit Truffles, GP’s Brain Activating Adaptogenic Drink and Sex Bark.

GP's brain drink came about after Gwyneth complained of 'brain fog' and 'too many amnesiac moments', and contains Moon Pantry vanilla mushroom protein, maca and Brain Dust. Though if clean-living GP is suffering from 'brain fog' what hope do the rest of us gluten-gluzzling mortals have?

But with Valentine's Day coming up, the internet has seized hold of Amanda's suggestion for an aphrodisiac chocolatge pudding. Forget oysters and asparagus, you need Sex Bark.

Using Sex Dust and another active ingredient 'ho shou wu' Amanda suggests you create a set chocolate dessert that will boost a couple's sex drive and fertility.

Amada explains: "Ho shou wu is an herb tonic used for centuries to enhance youthfulness, reproductive function, and sex drive and Moon Juice’s Sex Dust is an aphrodisiac warming potion promoting enjoyable sex and fertility for both men and women."

But at $60 (£40) for a pot of Sex Dust, you'll have to be sparing with your Bark. Special occasions only.

Want to make it? You will need:

¼ cup coconut oil
    ¼ cup ghee
    1 cup Moon Pantry cacao
    3 teaspoons Moon Pantry Sex Dust
    2 teaspoons Moon Pantry ho shou wu
    ¼ cup raw honey or several drops stevia
    1 ½ tablespoons Moon Pantry cacao nibs

You can find out what to do with them over on Goop.
