Gwyneth Paltrow recently shared a breakfast smoothie recipe on her lifestyle platform, Goop, and it has the internet buzzing with laughter. Dubbed GP’s morning “Smoothie,” the name is in quotes for a reason—it’s less of a smoothie and more of an elusive concoction that seems to belong in a fairy tale.
The recipe outlines that Gwyneth enjoys one of these every morning, regardless of whether she’s on a detox. The site suggests choosing your Moon Juice “moon dust” based on what your day has in store—whether it’s brain power for a busy workday, or “sex dust” for a romantic evening. We’ll dive into the “dust” later, but here’s the recipe:
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons vanilla mushroom protein powder
- 1 teaspoon maca
- 1 teaspoon ashwagandha
- 1 teaspoon ho shou wu
- 1 teaspoon cordyceps
- 1 teaspoon moon dust of choice
- Pinch Himalayan sea salt
- Pinch vanilla powder (optional)
The instructions are straightforward: throw all the ingredients into a blender and “blitz” them together. But let’s be real—my blender definitely lacks a “blitz” setting. Just checked, and it seems I’m stuck with a regular old appliance.
This recipe, oh this recipe! Wouldn’t you want to print it out and send it as a holiday card next year? While a pinch of vanilla powder is optional, cordyceps is mandatory. Make sure you don’t forget the ashwagandha, either. Just run to your pantry, grab all these ingredients, and blend them together. Easy, right? You might not have the moon dust on hand, but don’t fret—Gwyneth has you covered! You can snag two ounces of moon dust from her site for a mere $55.
Wouldn’t it be fun to channel your inner Gwyneth Paltrow for a day? To post a breakfast smoothie recipe with such whimsical ingredients without a hint of irony? Maybe that’s just my wishful thinking.

In summary, Gwyneth Paltrow’s unique breakfast smoothie recipe definitely raises eyebrows and invites laughter with its fantastical ingredients. While it seems more like a potion than a health drink, it certainly gets people talking about the extremes of wellness culture.
