My Top Aloe Vera Recipes To Nourish You From The Inside Out

I am so excited to share with you my top aloe vera recipes that will keep you nourished and feeling absolutely radiant! 

It can sometimes feel like every time you blink there seems to be a new fruit, vegetable, nut or superfood that comes on the scene, recommended for its beneficial properties and high nutrient values. 

However, one plant that deserves to truly stand in the light of all that is healthy is ‘aloe vera.’

This plant can often be understated and overlooked, but it’s well worth adding into your daily diet. 

In this article, I explore my favourite aloe vera recipes that are healthy and delicious and will keep you coming back time and time again. 

Get into something comfy and let’s dive right in.

What Is Aloe Vera? 

Aloe vera, often known as the ‘miracle plant’ is a short-stemmed shrub famous for the gel found in the plant’s leaves.

This gel is safe to extract from the leaves and can be used directly from the plant or it’s commercially sold in products like skin lotions, drinks, beauty products and ointments to name but a few.

This super plant is truly a wonder and I would suggest learning all about what it can do for your health here.
