Using Juicer Pulp
You will find that juicing produces a lot of leftover pulp, mostly consisting of
fruit and vegetable fiber. For example, it takes about 4 large carrots to create 1
cup (8 ounces) of carrot juice. Those 4 carrots contain 8 grams of total fiber.
Two grams of fiber end up in the juice; the remaining 6 grams become part of
the pulp.
You may reduce waste by finding creative and delicious ways to use juicer
pulp. We offer several suggestions below.
• Add pulp to smoothie recipes to increase the fiber content of smoothies.
• Include pulp in soups or stews, or make vegetable broth from it by boiling
with water, herbs, and spices.
• Dehydrate pulp to make crackers and fruit leathers.
• Freeze pulp and make healthy fruit popsicles (aka pulpsicles).
• Add pulp to all manner of baked goods, including muffins, cookies, breads,
and cakes.
• Mix pulp in with dog food or make healthy dog treats from it.
