Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has been deemed a superfood after research studies identifying its seventy-five healing compounds including natural steroids, antibiotic agents, amino acids, minerals and enzymes. Aloe vera has been used since Egyptian times as a skin moisturizer, and healer for burns, cuts, bruises, acne and eczema. This is mostly due to the high concentration of natural sulphur *(MSM) that it contains. Aloe juices alkalize the digestive tract preventing over-acidity, a common cause of indigestion, acid reflux, heartburn and ulcers.

*MSM provides a source of organic sulfur for the amino acids that are essential for internal cleansing and improved flexibility.

Ditch the Bloat Smoothie

• 1 cup Frozen Pineapple (Pineapple contains the digestive enzyme Bromelain, which helps break down food)

Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix and blend until smooth.
