lately we've been getting back in the habit of juicing. twice a week, i make a little under 2 gallons of fresh juice. it's really, really good. but what to do with all the pulp?? i could put it on the compost...but i would much rather put it into our bodies. i used to not juice much because it seemed like a waste of perfectly good fiber. then i figured out that i can use that pulp for baked goods. so that's what i do once a week now as well. bake with pulp. the first thing i did was make cookies, they were really good, then i made muffins, then waffles, then muffins again. we still have some of the waffles in the freezer! i made some whipped topping for the waffles that was a big hit as well.
for roughly 2 gallons of juice i use 6 pounds of apples, 8 pounds of oranges and 8 carrots. i save the apple and carrot pulp together for baking and use the orange pulp for smoothies if they have no seeds. if they have seeds, the pulp goes on the compost.
and of course, there are pictures!!! like i've said before...what did we do before digital cameras made us feel the need to document the hell out of everything???
