Genie in a Bottle: Aloe Vera Version


The creepy, spindly green leaves and the fact that it promotes itself as a juice with "crunchy pulp bits" really isn't what makes it sell. Because come on, really?
Aloe vera juice is a really random liquid of choice, yes. When people think aloe vera, they think of the gel they put on their sunburns, not their drink of choice. However, aloe vera juice is sweet without being overbearing, great for lovers of pulp, and FULL of health benefits. It detoxifies the bloodstream, stimulates the metabolism, aids digestion, increases circulation, and strengthens the immune system. You can usually find aloe vera juice at lesser known, unique grocery stores, Asian supermarkets, or organic/health food stores. 
PROS: Tastes like grape juice (but better), great if you love pulp, comes in a HUGE bottle most of the time, inexpensive, and light. 
CONS: Bad if you like pulp (it's full of it), has sugar content, harder to find, makes you need to pee.
