Alo Drink – Natural Aloe Drinks Blended with Asian Fruits

Last year, I discovered delicious yet nutritious Alo Drink at the Fancy Food Show. This all natural health drink now has new flavors from Asian fruits blended with aloe vera juice. And yes, you can drink aloe vera which is a clear liquid. Think “juice” not lotion.

Full disclosure: They sent me a case of Alo drinks to review. I won’t lie. I was quite “Elated” to receive a case of 12 Alo drinks, 3 of each flavor – Allure, Appeal, Enrich, and Elated.

I absolutely love Alo drinks because it’s all natural, with bits of juicy aloe pulp. Although the drinks only contain 25% aloe vera juice, they can be quite potent. Aloe vera has an abundance of vitamins and minerals, amino acids, and agents that may be anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. It also helps improve your digestion and is cleansing.

If you’re drinking this for the first time, I recommend drinking it slowly to see how your body reacts. I usually drink a half bottle at a time. You’ll definitely notice your body working differently.

Here’s a rundown on the flavors:

Allure - (Aloe, Mangosteen, and Mango) Allure tastes the fruitiest of them all. What is Mangosteen? Mangosteen is like a giant lychee, juicy and sweet. I had the opportunity to try Mangosteen when I was in Vancouver B.C. years ago.

Appeal - (Aloe, Pomelo, Pink Grapefruit, and Lemon) Appeal has a more mellow flavor with hints of grapefruit and lemon. It tastes almost like 7up or Sprite.What is Pomelo? I liken it to a giant grapefruit.

Enrich(Aloe, Pomegranate, and Cranberry) Enrich has the most intense flavor. It’s like fruit punch but not as sweet. The pomegranate flavor takes the lead followed by a hint of cranberry.

Elated - (Aloe and Olive Leaf Tea) Elated debuted last year at the show. They have now re-formulated it. To be honest, I didn’t notice the difference. Olive Leaf has more antioxidants than green tea. Out of all of the flavors, this one is the most mellow.
