- 1). Save the pulp from your fruits and vegetables. If you have time to bake with the pulp the same day you juice, you don't have to store it. Otherwise, place the pulp in a container or freezer bag and freeze the pulp until you are ready to use it in other recipes. The fiber nutrients do not diminish by freezing.
- 2). Separate the pulps of hard produce like carrots and apples from those of berries, grapes and softer fruits. Use a favorite recipe for carrot, pumpkin, orange or apple muffins and replace the whole fruit ingredient with the pulp. This increases the healthy fiber content of the muffins. Bake the recipe otherwise as indicated.
- 3). Use the softer fruit pulps to make one of several tasty treats. Mix this soft fruit pulp with a small amount of water (1/4 to 1/3 the quantity of the pulp) and pour it into ice cube trays or freezer pop trays to make homemade fruit popsicles. Mix the undiluted fruit pulp into homemade ice cream or plain yogurt to create a fruit flavor, or microwave the fruit pulp for 30 to 40 seconds and use it as a dessert topping. It has all the intense flavor of the whole fruit, but a considerably higher fiber content.
- 4). Make a meatloaf, meatballs or even homemade burgers with celery or carrot pulp mixed in with the meat. Vegetable pulps can also be mixed with cream cheese to create dips, with chicken broth as part of stew or gravy recipes, or in breads like zucchini, pumpkin or carrot recipes.
- 5). Create a garden compost pile for the pulp, core and other natural items. The natural decomposition process of composting creates a rich, natural fertilizer. Mix it into your plant, fruit or vegetable garden soil to enhance your garden's growing potential.
