Aloe Vera Detox is one of our regular early morning detox and I make it at least twice in a week. The early morning detoxes are regular in our routine and after detox I wont
drink anything or have any solid food for another one hour. Just plain water in take goes in that time. Will try to post more detox recipes in near future. The other one natural and seasonal detox recipe in my blog is Homemade Sugarcane Juice.
Coming to this recipe I have recorded a complete video for how to clean and make this super healthy detox. Also I have posted it in my Instagram story a very long time back, it got good views and comments as well.
How to use Aloe Vera Gel?
Apart from detox the aloe vera gel can be used as face mask, dark circles under the eyes, applied to hair for dandruff and it’s good for hair growth as well. I have mentioned some details in the following post.
How to clean Aloe Vera
- Just wash the whole Aloe Vera for few minutes in running water and wipe or drain the excess water.
- Cut the brown thorn portion (Pic 1) in the sides carefully with sharp knife (aloe leaves has thorns on both sides, Pic 2).
- Now you can see the gel (Pic 3), cut the leaf into few parts for easy working (Pic 4).
- Now comes the important part, after removing thorns you will get greenish yellow or very bitter yellow stuff (Pic 5, circled ) that has to be drained completely and cleaned before taking the edible Aloe Vera gel.
- Soak the sliced part in water for a while (say 5 minutes) to remove that yellow latex.
- Wipe with damp cloth and open up the top and bottom hard portion of the Aloe Vera leaf (Pic 7).
- Carefully separate the outer skin from the aloe gel (Pic 8).
- Remove the white Aloe Vera gel gently out of it (Pic 9).
- This has to be used to make detox (Pic 10 & 11).
- Now coming to the bottom stuck Aloe Vera gel with leaf (Pic 12), scrap with spoon or knife and remove those gels completely.
- This gel will have much bitterness so use this as hair gel (directly apply to hair) or as a face mask with honey and lemon juice or use just a plain gel over face.

Aloe Vera Detox Ingredients
Aloe Vera Gel – 6-8 Tbsp
Lemon Juice – From 1 Lemon
Raw Cane Sugar Or Honey – As Needed
Water – 2 Cups
How to make Aloe Vera Detox
- Now pulse extracted Aloe Vera gel, lemon juice, honey and plain water in a blender (Stepwise Pic 10).
- Use normal temperature drinking water and not hot or warm water.
- There is no exact portion how much water to how much gel, anyways I provided a rough measurement and in the beginning do reduce the aloe vera quantity and gradually do increase and try.
- That’s it aloe vera detox is ready (Pic 11) , drink immediately in empty stomach.
- Once you made the juice use it immediately and don’t store it to drink it later.
- But you can store the gel and cut portions in fridge or freezer, detailing it in next sub heading.
How to Store the leftover Aloe Vera Gel
- You can store the leftover Aloe Vera Gel in an air tight container and in freezer till you use.
- Since I get lengthy leaves, its hard to use it in a day, so I save the remaining for future use.
- Two hours before preparing the detox do bring the frozen gel to room temperature and make detox as mentioned earlier.
