Ingredients
- 1 large fresh aloe vera leaf (or about 1 cup aloe vera gel)
- 1 cup fresh okra pods, washed and sliced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional for extra potency)
- 1 cup filtered water or coconut water
- 1 tablespoon raw honey (optional, for taste)
Instructions
- Carefully wash the aloe vera leaf. Using a knife, slice off the spiky edges and the green skin to extract the clear aloe vera gel.
- Add the aloe vera gel, sliced okra, lemon juice, minced garlic (if using), and water or coconut water to a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth.
- Strain if desired for a smoother drink, or keep it fibrous for extra benefits.
- Pour into a glass and stir in raw honey if you want it sweeter.
- Drink immediately on an empty stomach for best results.
✅ Tip: Use only fresh, food-grade aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis miller). Avoid the yellow sap near the skin as it can be a laxative.
