Let’s get fresh… with our ingredients in a delicious and good-for-you aloe mocktail recipe. This mocktail would work well as a morning pick-me-up or even a evening refresher after a long day. Made with vibrant flavors like cucumber and mint then blended with the health optimizer, aloe vera, you will be feeling nice and light.
Let’s Start With the Fresh Ingredients
The trusty, verdant cucumber is the perfect well balanced fruit (yes, fruit) thanks to its high content of nutrients, water and soluble fiber. Cucumbers not only help promote hydration, but can also help support healthy regularity thanks to its contents.
Equal in its benefits, mint has been used for thousands of years for a variety of benefits including acting as an antiseptic, freshening breath, but most importantly soothing your digestive tract and helping with indigestion and stomach upset. And if you have your own garden, mint is easy to grow and helps support other plants.
The best addition to any drink, smoothie or juice is our Aloe vera. It acts as a great health equalizer by supporting your digestion and balancing your stomach acidity naturally. Plus, it has been clinically proven to help boost nutrient absorption, support your immune health, and reduce toxic levels of nitrates in your body. By adding just 2 oz. of our Aloe vera juice or gel to your drinks, you can help support your overall health each day.
You can also include some fresh ginger root to give you even more digestive benefits, plus it gives the recipe an extra kick of flavor.
