I've never used frozen aloe but you just gave me an idea as I have aloe plants and a ginormous aloe stalk in my fridge right now. I just might cut it up into small pieces and freeze it.
Okay, I put aloe into my tea when I drink it. It's good for indigestion. I always remove the pulp from the skin as the skin is bitter. I also rub aloe vera all over my body a few times a week. It speeds up the skin's healing process. I use it on my face as well. It's great for calming any small red acne bumps that occur during that 'time'. A little thing I do and have taught my DD to do is to apply aloe vera to elbows, knees, the decolletage area, around the eyes and on the back of my hands. All those areas show a woman's age and I feel that aloe's naturally healing properties are a good option for keeping the skin around those areas looking healthy, young and supple. You could do that with yours, in addition to popping a few in your mouth each day.
I like your idea of throwing your aloe vera into smoothies, it can't hurt. You can also rub the frozen aloe vera on your scalp and on your hair strands. It'll be cooling on your scalp, and if followed with a scalp massage, helps blood flow and improves hair growth and overall health. As for your tresses, aloe vera juice keeps hair (as well as skin) moisturized. Rastas use aloe vera as shampoo for their tresses. I am currently using Nature's Gate aloe Vera shampoo as a phthalate free option.
Hope some of the above will prove helpful to you.
