If you are anything like me, one of the not so great parts about juicing is feeling like you waste so much. (and after spending a fortune on fresh produce this thought can be very aggravating... I know) Well, here are a few ways you can use all of the pulp from your juicer!
1. Freeze it and save it for later use! It may lose some of the nutrient value by sticking it in the freezer however, you will still have a significant amount of fiber left in pulp! (Place fruit and Veggie pulp in separate containers)
2. Fruit pulp can be used to add a little kick to your smoothies, muffins, bread, cookies, bread, granola bars, pie or cobblers. You can blend it up or cook it!
3. Meat Loaf: Add some fresh vegetable pulp to your meat loaf to make for a healthier and more delicious meal! (Use ground turkey to make it even more healthy)
4. Omelets: Add some veggies to your eggs with fresh vegetable pulp... so good!
5. Soups: Try making a vegetable soup with fresh juice and add some pulp for flavor and texture
6. Lasagna: There are some REALLY good spaghetti squash recipes out there, add some fresh veggie pulp for even more flavor with a healthy lasagna!
7. Put it back into your garden: If you have a garden you can use pulp as fertilizer or maybe you don't want to cook with the extra pulp, just throw it anywhere in your backyard and let the earth do it's thing with it. Might as well not waste it!
8. Bulk your burgers up with some vegetable pulp.
9. For those with young kids: You can sneak some of pulp into some everyday food. For example, take some traditional Mac&Cheese and add some spinach, tomato, or kale pulp into their food and BAM, kids are gettin' more veggies!
10. DIY Salad Dressings: With some fresh pulp, a little olive oil, and some vinegar you have your own homemade (and healthy) dressing!
11. Hummus: Ok, I have had an obsession with hummus lately. I just recently made my own and added in some fresh vegetable pulp and it was SO GOOD! A must try!
12. "Tea": Add some fruit pulp to some hot water, add a pinch of cinnamon, let it set and then run thru a strainer.
13. Pancakes: Add some flavor and moister to some oatmeal pancakes!
14. You can use leftover pulp to make some homemade scrubs and face masks.
15. You can dehydrate the pulp and make crackers with it.
This weekend I made muffins with my leftover pulp. Here is the recipe for
