My love affair with using fresh aloe vera gel in raw smoothies continues. For a quick review of all the smoothies on my site to-date containing fresh aloe vera gel, here’s the list:
- Mango-Guava Live Green Smoothie with Fresh Aloe Vera Gel & Elderflower Water or Liqueur
- Persimmon-Fresh Aloe Vera Gel Smoothie: LUSCIOUS!
- Delicate Raspberry Raw Smoothie With Fresh Aloe Vera Gel… Wow.
- Honey-Lemon Raw Smoothie With Fresh Aloe Vera Gel
- Vanilla-Aloe Smoothie With Fresh Aloe Vera Gel
- Vanilla-Banana Smoothie With Fresh Aloe Vera Gel
- Basil-Lime Live Green Smoothie With Fresh Aloe Vera Gel
- Pomegranate-Rose Smoothie With Fresh Aloe Vera Gel
One thing I’ve learned from making all these aloe vera smoothies is that you can use the fresh gel from a massively large aloe leaf and still never notice any “taste” from the aloe. I always find that quite surprising, because when I cut open a fresh aloe leaf, I always inexplicably smell “chicken soup”. I have no idea why that is, but it always reminds me of the chicken soup smell from cafeterias when I was a kid. That odor or taste has never made it into a smoothie, though… they are all utterly delicate, mild, and supportive of whatever other flavors and ingredients have been added to the mix.
Caramel-Vanilla Raw Smoothie With Fresh Aloe Vera Gel
That a mild, creamy, vanilla-y, so tasty raw smoothie can be this simple and so healthful sometimes just blows my mind. If only we all had known earlier that healthifying, revitalizing food could be like this. But it is certainly quite exciting to be living on the cutting edge of discovering these brilliant combinations that have been just waiting to be known!
This smoothie is creamy, refreshing, comforting, and frothy (the way all smoothies are when made with fresh aloe vera gel). Both of my Boyz really enjoyed this smoothie — the recipe definitely passed muster with the Marginally-Raw-and-Male crowd.
