A Great Use for Leftover Veggie Pulp


I made a green energy drink to go with my oatmeal for breakfast this morning. What a great way to get energized for the day! I'm not sure how other people's juicers work (I have an el cheapo from Target), but depending on what I'm juicing, I always seem to get plenty of pulp leftover. Today's pulp was a semi-dry mish mash of all kinds of great veggies (broccoli, kale, parsley, carrots, cukes, celery, red cabbage, etc.) If I had a food dehydrator (soon, just haven't gotten around to it), I might have added in some flax seeds and attempted to make some sort of dehydrated veggie wafers. Seeing as how I don't, I came up with another good solution. I refrigerated the pulp until lunch, and then added it into some warm broth I made from Red Miso and water. Viola! Yummy fresh veggie soup! If you've got leftover fruit pulp, you might try freezing it in ice cube treats for a healthy dessert :)
