A creamy aloe vera smoothie made with pineapple and ginger, served in a tall glass.

Aloe Vera Smoothie

Olivia Carter
This is the ultimate disguise. If the texture of aloe gel makes you gag, this smoothie is your new best friend. By masking the aloe with berries and ginger, you can reap the gut health benefits without experiencing the 'green' flavor. It's a killer breakfast.

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender works best to crush the ginger and kale
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Prepared Aloe Vera Juice Use the recipe above, or just blend 3 gel cubes with water.
  • ½ cup Frozen Berries Blueberries, strawberries, whatever you have.
  • 1 handful Spinach or Kale You won't taste it, I promise.
  • ½ inch Fresh Ginger Peel it first. This is the ultimate flavor enhancer.
  • ½ cup Coconut Water Or just regular water if you're out.
  • Optional Chia seeds Chia seeds if you want to be extra healthy. 

Instructions
 

  • Liquids First: Start by adding the aloe juice to the blender. It helps the blades spin.
    Fresh ingredients for a functional aloe vera smoothie arranged on a kitchen counter, including clear aloe vera gel cubes, frozen berries, fresh spinach, ginger root, and coconut water.
  • Dump the Rest In: Add the frozen berries, greens, and that chunk of ginger.
  • Blend: Let it rip on high for about a minute. If it's too thick (like sludge), add a splash more water.
  • Serve: Pour it into a tall glass and drink it before it gets warm.

Notes

The ginger adds a nice spicy kick that completely masks the aloe taste. If you hate spice, swap the ginger for pineapple chunks.
