ALOVE VERA JUICE RECIPE
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS:
-2 T freshly harvested aloe vera
-1 small persian cucumber, 3-4 inches in length, peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
-½ inch of fresh ginger, peeled
-3 fresh mint leaves
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
-2 T Agave Nectar
- ½ cup filtered water
- ice cubes for serving
PROCESS:
-Using a sharp knife, cut near the base of the leaf. this allows the plant to regenerate itself faster than cutting in the middle.
-Cut off a slab about 2 inches long from the (widest) end. Remove the spiney sides, resulting in a top lid and a bottom lid.
-Using a sharp paring knife, carefully remove the outer green peel off the very top layer of the leaf. Turn over and remove the remaining green peel. Now you're left with just the jelly.
-Rinse jelly under water to remove any yellow residue. This is an important step because it removes the indigestible residue that will cause stomach issues if ingested.
-Add rinsed aloe jelly to the blender.
-Peel cucumber with a veggie peeler, remove both ends, cut in half lengthwise, scrape out seeds, and cut into chunks.
-Use a garlic press to press fresh ginger juice from the nub of ginger and add to the blender .
-Juice 2 lemons, resulting in about ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice, and add to blender
-Add 3 mint leaves
-Add Agave Nectar.
-Process for 30 seconds
-Add ½ cup water, then process 5-10 more seconds
-Pour from blender over ice, and serve.

    i stumbled upon this Playlist again, 7 years after originally finding it as a teen. it's refreshing to see old videos like this, and now that i'm an adult, it'll be fun to try to make these drinks finally! i really hope you make more videos like these again one day 😊

    Just a tip: If you are not in a hurry you can cut the Aloe Vera and just hang it somewhere to let it drip over night. Then you can peel it and cut it to use it in the recipe. Great recipe, I shall try it sometime.

    I've been a fan of aloe vera juice for more than 30 years. Besides drinking it I use it for burns (nothing takes that heat away faster) to help heal my cuts, to sooth my aching knees, as a facial and to speed the fading of bruises. Wow, it sounds like I live a very active life, ha! Thanks for this recipe, it is making my mouth water!

    Why not? Agave Americana and Aloe Vera are both grown in (but not exclusively) in Mexico. At least on in the states, both are seen as "Mexican" plants. Agave Syrup/Nectar is a vegan alternative to honey. They're both essentially just sweet sugar syrups.
