Magnesium and the relaxing compounds in aloe, plus the tryptophan in honey, promote serotonin production.

It’s like an internal hug every morning.

Perfect recipe (the one my readers use with the best results)

Ingredients (1 glass – 250 ml):

3-4 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel (only the clear part)

1 tablespoon of raw honey (preferably wild or manuka honey)

200 ml of still or warm water

Optional: a few drops of lemon juice or a slice of cucumber to soften the flavor

Step by step (2 minutes):

Cut the aloe vera leaf, remove the thorns and the green skin.

Extract the clear gel with a spoon.

Rinse for 10 seconds under running water to remove the bitter latex.

Blend with the water for 15 seconds.

Add the honey and mix. Take it on an empty stomach or 30 minutes before breakfast.

Golden tip: Prepare it the night before and store it in the refrigerator in a glass bottle. It tastes milder the next day.
