C.O. Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Do any of you make your own aloe juice? I've been buying it a lot lately and spending too much on it. Please post the recipe/process if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Interested to hear anybody's answers with this ~ i too buy my own but I'm all for cutting costs and a bit of DIY haha. Could you not just press and strain the leaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyotisha Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 What are you buying it for and how much are you using? I have found some great deals buying in bulk on sales. In India I also just take the leaves off the plant and eat the gel. I take 2 oz twice a day with tumeric to reduce inflammation. You could grow your own plants but that would not work if you are consuming a lot of it. I purchase lily of the desert and also whole foods 365 in large quantities when they run sales.

muchidna Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I used to grow aloe in the old house, you could cut a leaf off and squeeze the gel out of it, if that's what you're after either way, it cant hurt to spend 5 bucks on a plant, rather than 5 or 10 on a bottle of juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Well the juice is like, juice... so I dont really know how to take the gel from the plant and turn it into the juice like substance that I've been buying at the store. I mean it has pulp in it, which I assump are bits of the gel from the plant but yeah, I'm at a loss for DIY still. I'll check out buying in bulk from wholefoods, and I'll probably get a plant to experiment with, good suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Can you run the leaf through a juicer? I have seen aloe leaves at the hispanic market, but I haven't purchased them since I hadn't a clue what to do with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcalico Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I just googled it... doesn't look too hard to make.http://www.greenprophet.com/2010/07/aloe-vera-recipes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muchidna Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 from when we used to grow it, it produced a gel rather than a juice, i think you'd have to mix it with water to get it thru the juicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
