It’s weird to think drinking fresh aloe vera shake. Imagine a gel from aloe vera leaf mix with crushed ice and an evaporated milk.

Last Sunday, I wanted to try something different. Mixing fresh aloe vera gel with mango. That’s aloe vera-mango shake. I couldn’t figured out how it would taste but I know it would be something so healthy. Aloe vera is a miracle plant, a healing plant. Many historians said that this plant was used by Cleopatra and used by ancient soldiers. Mango very popular fruit in asia because of its tangy taste and best use for shake available in many refreshment shops.

I have here some information about aloe vera. But take note, I am using a variety that is not poisonous, it’s the top of all varieties. It’s called aloe vera “Barbadensis Miller”.

What is Aloe Vera?

There are over 240 different species of Aloe Vera, growing mainly in the dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and America.

Although Aloe Vera is a member of the Lily family, it is very-cactus like in its characteristics. This unique plant also belongs to a larger plant family called “Xeroids”. Of the 240+ species of Aloe, only four are recognized as being of nutritional value to humans and animals. Aloe “Barbadensis Miller” is the top of these four.

Aloe Vera “Barbadensis Miller” contains over 20 minerals, all of which are essential to the human body. The human body requires 22 amino acids for good health. Eight of which are called “essential” because the body cannot fabricate them. Aloe Vera contains all of these eight essential amino acids, and 11 of the 14 “secondary” amino acids. Aloe Vera has Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E. Vitamins cannot be manufactured within the body, and some cannot be stored by the body, so it is necessary for the diet to sustain a continuous supply.

Here’s my ingredients of Aloe vera-Mango Shake

3 pc matured Aloe vera “Barbadensis Miller” leaves Peeled, sliced
2 pc regular size ripe mango
1 and half cup of evaporated milk/skim milk
4 tablespoon of honey (you can use brown sugar as substitute)
6 cups crushed ice
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (optional)

Add a little water to suit your mixture.

Now, would you consider aloe vera a part of your daily diet?

Fresh aloe vera shake is very nutritious and remember the health benefits you can get. But, if you don’t have the time to prepare a shake drink, then you can still buy aloe vera gel in bottle. Forever Living products has made it possible for this generation to still avail the health benefits of this miraculous plant.
