Homemade Aloe Vera Juice
This homemade aloe vera juice is so easy to make! Plus, it is cheaper and healthier than store bought varieties.
Ingredients
- 1 aloe vera leaf
- 1 cup coconut water see notes
- ice cubes
- cane sugar optional
Instructions
- Wash the aloe vera leaf and using a knife, carefully remove any thorns on the exterior of the leaf.
- Use a knife to peel away the green outer layer from one side of the aloe vera leaf. Then, using a spoon, carefully scrape the clear aloe gel from the leaf. Wash the gel and set aside in the fridge until you are ready to use. Discard the leaves. Note: Make sure you do not keep any of the green portions of the leaf, as the leaves can be toxic and have a laxative effect.
- Combine aloe gel, ice cubes, coconut water or your choice of juice, and sweetener (optional) in a blender. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes. Transfer the juice to a glass and using a spoon, remove any foam that settles at the top of the juice. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for 1-2 days.
- Note: You can substitute your favorite fresh juice or plain water in place of the coconut water. I also like to use fresh orange juice.
