I add an ounce of the fuschia-colored juice to a half glass of water and taste Coolaide from my childhood. Immediately I get recipe ideas: Nopalea ice cubes and popsickles for adults and kids. A treat for people with diabetes, pain, low energy. The juice ingredients are zillions of fruit enzymes–cherry, papaya–but mainly juice from nopal cactus, a desert panacea. Pure, clean, safe, filled with sunshine from the Sonoran desert. . .A swallow of phlegm descends in my throat as I breathe down to the navel. When was the last time I breathed so well? The walk through the southwest desert with my sister. Something cracked into place in my middle back. Soon I am turning my neck around, everything is falling into a better place. Pain leaves as the body detoxifies and energy is refreshed. I can hardly wait to enjoy the benefits of Nopalea for my complexion, energy, and joints after using this health beverage for a month.
