This is a delicious and refreshing drink you could have any time and even in place of an alcoholic drink! 

The super star is Aloe Vera ✨

Here are some health benefits of aloe vera:

🌿 Aloe vera contains over 200 biologically active compounds including enzymes (help with digestion), 18 amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B3, B6, C, and E. It also contains minerals like potassium, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and chloride. 

🌿 It has been used all over the world for various gastrointestinal problems. One of the most common uses for aloe vera juice is the treatment of IBS and constipation. The laxative compounds found in aloe vera are called Anthraquinones, and they work by reducing intestinal water absorption.

🌿 It has been found to support healthy liver function, which is very important for detoxification.

🌿 It is very hydrating and soothing. The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants may help protect the skin cellular damage and premature aging. Plant growth regulators found in aloe called gibberellins promotes collagen and elastin formation. 

🍈 Melons consist of 90 percent water, which can help relieve bloating by flushing out excess water retention.
