What is Aloe Vera?
Aloe Vera is a bright green leafy plant which has got big leaves with white flesh inside of the leaf.

How do we use Aloe Vera Gel or Juice?
Aloe Vera Gel is nothing but the flesh that is inside of the aloe vera leaf which is crushed or blended well to get a gel out of it which is then used both internally or externally.

- Making of aloe vera juice recipe is pretty simple and easy but we have to be careful while handling the leaf as the leaf while peeling is very slippery and tends to slip from the hands.
- Make small chunks of the gel after peeling the leaf which would make the work of making the juice more easy.
Best way to consume aloe vera:
- The best option is to mix the chunks of gel along with the drinks or juices or smoothies while blending as it is quite difficult to drink fresh aloe vera juice 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.
- Consume it on an empty stomach for best results but can be consumed after meals as well.
