Aloe Vera & Honey Wellness Drink

Description

A light, slightly sweet drink made with fresh aloe vera gel and honey. Often consumed for hydration and digestive support, but not a medical treatment.

Ingredients (2 servings)

2 tablespoons fresh aloe vera gel (from a clean, properly prepared leaf)
1–2 teaspoons honey
1 cup water (or coconut water for extra flavor)
1–2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the aloe vera
- Cut a fresh aloe leaf and extract the clear gel inside.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove the yellow latex (this part can irritate the stomach).
Blend
- Add aloe gel, water, honey, and lemon juice to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
Serve
- Pour over ice if desired and drink immediately.

Tips

Only use small amounts of aloe vera—too much can cause digestive discomfort.
Always remove the yellow sap (latex), as it may be harsh or unsafe in larger amounts.
If new to aloe, start with 1 tablespoon to see how your body reacts.
