What is Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera is a bright green leafy plant with big leaves and white flesh inside the leaf.
The leaf must be peeled to use the flesh, and then the flesh or gel must be extracted.
The extracted flesh is then used for various purposes. Its gel is made and used to treat many health issues, skin, hair, and beauty, and it is also used internally as a juice or gel.
How do we use Aloe Vera Gel or Juice?
Aloe vera gel is nothing but the flesh inside the aloe vera leaf. It is crushed or blended well to extract the gel, which is used internally and externally.
Aloe Vera Juice is the diluted form of the gel, which is mixed or combined with water and then consumed by adding ginger flavor, honey flavor, or lemon flavor, which is said to have a lot of health benefits.

How to make Aloe Vera juice?
- Just take a single long leaf and peel the leaf's skin with a peeler or a knife.
- Extract the gel out with a spoon.
- Blend the gel by mixing some water until there are no lumps.
- Mix honey lemon extract or grated ginger, which could even aid in weight loss...

- Making an aloe vera juice recipe is simple and easy, but we must carefully handle the leaf. While peeling, the leaf is very slippery and tends to slip from the hands.
- Make small chunks of the gel after peeling the leaf, which makes the juice blending easier.
The best way to consume aloe vera
- The best option is to mix the chunks of gel with the drinks, juices, or smoothies while blending. Drinking fresh aloe vera juice is challenging, as it tastes slightly bitter and unique.
- The other option is to add honey and lemon extract, which makes it consumable, and also, the taste turns sweeter due to honey.
- For best results, consume it on an empty stomach, but any time of the day, such as after meals, is also a good option.
