The slightly tart flavour of the apple and its crunchy texture give this vitamin- and fibre-rich blend a special touch. You will need 50g aloe vera gel, 1 green apple, the juice of 1 orange and ½ cucumber, peeled and seeded. Core and chop the apple and do the same with the cucumber. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add two tablespoons of water and sweeten to taste. Blend again and the smoothie is ready to drink.

The spicy taste of ginger is perfect with aloe vera, and together they help burn fat and regulate blood pH. The ingredients for this smoothie are 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel, 1 tablespoon of peeled and thinly sliced ginger, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon of turmeric and 2 cups of water. Blend all the ingredients and serve in a glass with a sprig of mint to contrast the colour of the turmeric.

Aloe vera, pineapple and cucumber smoothie

An aloe vera and pineapple smoothie with the addition of cucumber is perhaps the best way to start the day.

You can also use packaged aloe vera juice or gel in the same proportions.

Aloe vera and papaya smoothie

An aloe vera and papaya smoothie gives you all the benefits of this tasty tropical fruit and increases the positive effects of aloe vera. Its papain content helps digestion and keeps the gastric mucosa healthy. It also provides you with fibre, which stimulates bowel movements, as well as vitamins A, C and E.

Cut the cleaned papaya into medium-sized cubes and throw them into the blender along with the other ingredients. Blend for one minute and your aloe vera papaya smoothie is ready to drink.

Aloe vera, banana and kale smoothie

The banana is an excellent fruit for the proper functioning of the whole organism. It lowers blood pressure, combats acidity and constipation. As if that were not enough, its high sugar content gives you instant energy. Perhaps its best known benefit is potassium, which it contains at 422 mg per 100 g. It is essential for the cardiovascular system and muscle contraction. By combining it with kale leaves, you increase the fibre and vitamin content of this smoothie.

To prepare, you need 1 ripe banana, 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel, 1 cup of kale leaves (without stems) and 1 glass of water. Peel and slice the banana. Wash the kale leaves and remove the stems.
