Ingredients Highlights
Aloe Vera is commonly used externally to soothe burns and abrasions but can also work wonders when taken internally. It supports GI health and helps maintain blood sugar levels that are already within a normal range.
Banana is one of nature’s richest sources of potassium. The vitamins and nutrients in bananas are important for heart health, positive mood, and bone support.
Ginger contains antioxidants and helps support healthy inflammation levels. Its digestive actions help cleanse the build-up of waste and toxins in the colon, liver, and other organs.
Hemp seeds are a great source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals. They are also a good source of phytosterols, which help support immune function.
Organixx OrganiGreens is a revolutionary organic green juice powder made with 17 sprouted & fermented superfoods and botanicals for maximum nutrition.
Pineapple is a good source of a special enzyme called bromelain, which can support GI health and the immune system.
Turmeric is a beautiful golden spice that’s originally from Southern India. It not only makes food taste good but has many well-studied health benefits. In addition to supporting healthy inflammation levels, turmeric helps support cardiovascular health, digestion, and cognitive function.
Hi Patricia.
Some things that I would personally look for in an aloe vera juice are: no sugar added, no preservatives, made from the whole leaf and is organic. The brand I used in the particular recipe is Lily of the Desert. Find what works for you and your body.
Much health to you,
Katrina
What brand of alovera juice is the best to buy on the market
How do I gain juice from my aloe plant? Your video wouldn’t play … it said PRIVATE!!!?
Hi Linda,
Oh no! We are very sorry that the video had an error. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is now fixed. :) Although we do not have an exact recipe for using an aloe plant for juice, we do know to make juice from the aloe plant you can remove the outer green layer and use gel inside. You would blend the gel with water. There are many recipes online that provide the details/measurements. I hope you find this information helpful. Have a happy and healthy day! :)
One can extract the inner pulp with a spoon, after slicing off the skin, and then with the skin part, rub the inner part on relevant parts of your body, like face for sunburn or wrinkles, skin issues, etc. The texture is very slimy but the health benefits are well established.
Hi Jon! Thank you for sharing! :) Enjoy your day! :)
