RECIPE: Keepin’ it Simple Carrot & Aloe Juice 

I’ll admit it’s hard for me to drink plain ‘ol water so I like to create simple, healthy juices to up my H2O. Here is my latest creation…

Carrot & Aloe Juice Recipe
Yields: 1

20-30 mini carrots or about 3-5 whole carrots
2 mini fresh Aloe leaves or 1 large fresh Aloe leaf
12-16 oz of water (just go by your cup size)
2 Tablespoons of raw honey
 
 
 

- Here’s the deal with the carrots- feel free to use as many as you like.  I like my juices a bit light so I used 20 mini carrots.
- I have an Aloe plant with thinner aloe leaves.  I usually see the larger fresh Aloe leaves at local grocery stores, feel free to use that.
- Use the inside “goo” of the aloe leaf.  Take a sharp knife and split the Aloe leaves in half.  I found it easier to scrape the inside of the aloe leaf with a knife.
- If you haven’t worked with fresh Aloe before, let me just warn you it’s slimy!!
- Place the carrots, aloe, honey, and water into the blender and blend
- I strained the pulp out but if you like that texture then keep it!
