Maybe life is a board game, but I never get to roll the dice.

A lot of people know that aloe vera is great for burns because it contains antioxidant and antibacterial properties. It’s a nutritious and edible plant, high in fiber, and hydrating. It can soothe skin, reduce inflammation in the gut, and boost the immune system.

Aloe vera isn’t a cactus, but dragon fruit is. It is also high in fiber and contains antioxidant properties with a number of health benefits, including reducing inflammation. It’s a scary looking pink, spiky fruit but was described as a cross between a strawberry and a pear.

Strawberry is certainly what I thought when I first sipped David’s Dragon Fruit Aloe herbal tea. It was a sweet and refreshing tropical beverage, with a rosy hue and an intoxicating smell. The ingredients are aloe vera, apple, coconut chips, dragon fruit, hibiscus blossoms, pineapple pieces, raspberries and sugar. I bet this would make an excellent iced tea in the summer. I certainly enjoyed it last month over a game of Airport!

And again this morning. Happy Family Day!
