From digestive support to radiant skin and improved immunity, Aloe Vera Juice is a versatile addition to a healthy lifestyle. As with any dietary change, moderation and consistency are key. Here’s to a healthier you, naturally, with Aloe Vera Juice!
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 15 cm aloe vera leaf (you can leave the skin on, just cut off the wooden bits)
- 1 tomato (with skin but without seeds)
- Handful of mint leaves
- 3-4 tulsi leaves (very healthy plant, good against colds, coughs, and negative thoughts!)
- 2-inch piece of marrow (from the family of pumpkins, but don’t substitute if you can’t find it, just leave it out)
- 1 small apple or 1/4 papaya or 1 pomegranate (just the seeds) or a carrot, finely chopped
- 2 cups of water
- (If you really need it sweeter, add 1 tsp of honey afterward)
Preparation
-
Begin by carefully washing the Aloe vera leaf to remove any dirt or residue. Use a sharp knife to cut off the spiky edges and the wooden parts from the sides.
-
Slit the leaf open lengthwise to expose the inner gel. Using a spoon, scrape out the clear gel and add it to a blender.
-
Add the tomato (without seeds), mint leaves, tulsi leaves, and the optional piece of marrow to the blender.
-
Pour in the 2 cups of water to help with blending and dilution.
-
Blend the mixture until you achieve a smooth and well-incorporated juice.
-
Taste the juice to determine if you’d like it sweeter. If needed, add 1 tsp of honey and blend again.
-
Once your Aloe vera juice is well-mixed and at your preferred sweetness level, pour it into a glass.
-
You can serve it immediately over ice for a refreshing, chilled drink.
