Aloe Vera Juice – ALO Drinks
This review was originally published on June 7, 2011.
I saw ALO, I think on TV or it was covered on some news program. I wanted to try it for the website, so I contacted them and asked for samples. They sent us their:
- ALO Exposed – original aloe vera
- ALO Awaken – wheatgrass and aloe vera
- ALO Allure – mangosteen, mango and aloe vera
- ALO Enrich – pomegranate, cranberry and aloe vera
- ALO Appeal – pomelo, pink grapefruit, lemon and aloe vera
- ALO Elated – brewed olive leaf tea and aloe vera
First up is their “Exposed” which is their original drink with honey.

Many Vegans consider honey Vegan - it's always interesting the perspective on it!

I live in northern California, we have a store called holiday market, the first time I had this drink was yesterday, and I am hooked just got my second bottle and drink them in a only a few minutes. At first I almost thought the aloe pulp was a gelatin type substance, I was intrigued by the mild grape flavour and my favorite part is the pulp. I find myself chewing on the peices, the texture is so odd but I love it. It reminds me of an episode of Andrew zimmerns bizzare foods, where he traveled and had a hot aloe vitamin tonic it was heated, dark brown, stringy and he claimed it was foul as he handed it off to a elderly native woman. Since then Ive been interested aloe, I got it for about three bucks, the store only has exposed. But ill be keeping my eye out for the other favours of this tasty drink. Definatly worth a try!

Mariah! I can totally relate. How funny. It is great stuff. Exposed is still my very favorite - but they do have another line of products that have coconut milk or coconut something in them.
