We have several aloe vera patches in our garden which all started with one single plant we purchased at Trader Joe's over a decade ago.

We like to harvest the aloe vera gel, blend it in the food processor and freeze it in silicon mini muffin trays and then add them to our daily green smoothie.

Aloe Vera is a plant widely known for its healing properties.

Some of the purported benefits may include:

Good for hydration

Promotion of liver health

Promotion of gut health

Balancing blood sugar

We also use Aloe Vera topically.
