  1. Hi all,
    I recently bought a juicer (one of those spinning ones).
    I was wondering if anyone has suggestions, in using the pulp left over.
    Suggestions on the froth left over (don't like drinking that) would be nice
    to.
    It would be good if you could use it in a recipe of some sort, instead of
    composting it.
    Help appreciated. :-)

    Yep. Toss the juicer, eat the fruit/veggies whole, get
    health/nutrition benefits of juice and pulp/fiber at
    same time.

    Why are you getting rid of the nutritious part and drinking
    the high glycemic part? If you must drink juice, drink whole
    juice. Should've bought a Vita-Mix, which makes juice using
    the whole fruit or vegetable without wasting anything.

  4. Your opinion is appreciated.
    That is not exactly what I was after, but you do have a point.
    But what if I just want a drink, without the rest?
    Thanks all the same. :-)

    Compost's yer best bet! The pulp is usually to dry to use
    for anything, and with some fruits (and veggies) too fibrous
    to eat, or, in the case of things like strawberries and
    raspberries, too seedy. Makes excellent compost for the next
    crop, however!

    I have the juicer that fits in the Magimix, and that
    certainly leaves you with a stiff fibrous paste that really
    wouldn't be pleasant to eat.

    The other thing I do is whizz up whole fruits and make
    smoothies.

    Yellow Smoothie:

    1 small mango 1 medium banana juice of one orange 1 small
    tub of 0% fat greek yoghurt
    1/4 pint of skimmed milk 1 teaspoon of honey

    Zizz the whole lot madly until you get a smooth thick
    creamy consistency. Pour into tall glasses and slurp
    through a fat straw.

    Red Smoothie

    2/2 pint frozen red fruits (I can buy a mix of all sorts of
    red berries from my local farm shop)
    3/2 pint fresh orange juice 2 bananas 1 teaspoon honey

    Again, zizz the lot until nice and smooth, and serve
    as before.

  7. Others are correct when they say that getting the whole
    fruit or vegetable is your best bet, but if you're intent on
    separating pulp from juice and then eating both, you can
    incorporate the pulp in soups and bread. This doesn't
    produce fabulous recipes, but it is acceptably edible and
    answers your question. Toss in half a cup of vegetable pulp
    in each quart of soup such as chicken noodle or tomato
    vegetable soup. It can go in a mushroom barley too. It can
    also be put in a yeast bread. I can't give you an exact
    amount, but it might go in the sponge stage of a whole grain
    bread. The pulp won't have much flavor so think of it as
    extra bran.

  8. I guess doing it the Julia way is a bit like using up the pulp after making soya
    milk and almond milk. The name for the soya pulp leftover is called okara.
    May be if you do a search for okara recipes you'd find some ideas. I'd been
    looking for them and they often use the okara for:

    as a burger mix (I guess it'd a bit hard using fruit pulp)
    bread baking making muffins

    <snip of some yummy sounding smoothie recipes>

    One of the things I like to do is to keep a few peeled
    bananas in the freezer. I use these for making smoothies;
    they thicken the smoothies and make them cold, which is how
    I like mine.

    The pulp has given its all for the juice, so compost is your
    best bet. The froth isn't much use either. If you're really
    frugal, you could mix the pulp with Elmer's glue and make
    little figurines...

  12. Oh goodness don't toss it out!!

    Use the veggie pulp in soups stews and for hamburger filler
    or meatloaf, meatballs, toss some in with fried rice dishes!
    All this can be premade and frozen.

    The fruit would probably go good in some chicken stews or
    with ground chicken or turkey as a filler.

    Chip dip! Yes chipdip.. toss some in with some yogurt or
    sour cream and spices to make chip or veggie dip. Chicken
    soup base and beef soup base mixed with some
    garlic/curry/lemon pepper/dill what have you makes some
    awesome dips.. A little extra fiber in it would make it go
    futher too.

    Try making some popsicles out of the fruit and some koolaid
    for the kids.. kids will eat just about anything and it
    would be good for them. Or how bout icecubes for slushie
    summer drinks? Mix some in Jello! Now bout experimenting
    with some fruit roll ups too? Use the pulp spread it thin
    and dry it out..

    Keep small containers in your freezer and just add to them
    when you make juice.. Once you have enough pulp to make
    something experiment!

    Freeze what you don't use and cook up a huge pot of soup one
    day when you have enough..

    I had an aunt who could make soup and stew out of anything
    and everything.. course.. it was strange getting soup from
    her with one sausage floating around... she'd even use the
    green on the bottom of cauliflower for pete sakes! who
    saves that?

    Some chicken or beef soup base some whole veggies and a
    bit of meat of some kind you'd have some great soups and
    heathy too!

    Experiment experiment experiment!

    This coming from a woman who's never owned a juicer
    btw *s*.. But hey anything's worth a try and nothings
    worth wasting!

    I really need a juicer now *chuckle*

    We use a Champion juicer and find the pulp to still have a
    lot of flavor left. One of my raw foodie friends saves her
    pulp, seasons it with herbs and spices, then lays it flat in
    her dehydrator to make crackers. Another friend uses carrot
    and zucchini pulp to make quick breads and cookies.

    For a 16 oz juice I get maybe a 1/2 of froth, but only if I
    juice really fast. The slower I go, the less froth. But I
    always pour the juice from one glass to another to integrate
    the froth into the juice.

    No, you would peel any fruit that is normally peeled before
    using the Vita-Mix.
