Look at this thick gel. It’s the gel inside of the Aloe Vera plant, the gel loaded with healing benefits. Aloe Vera alkalizes the body and I use 1 -2 cups in smoothies sometimes. I am spoiled living in Cali though, this incredible plant grows everywhere so I can pick it even on the streets of venice. If it’s not available where you live, get the juice… the unflavored and unsweetened juice and mix with your smoothies.  Or drink it straight.
