Waste Not Want Not: What to do with juice pulp

Juice often?
And ever wonder what to do with that leftover cellulose plant fibers?
I mean sure, throwing it in your yard or compost pile are great ideas, but if you think about it, you're throwing out a good amount of nutrients and ruffage you could easily add to your diet.
"Waste not want not!"
Here is a simple recipe I used to make some awesome pulp crackers I used with leftover veggie juice pulp!

Juice Pulp Crackers
3 cups of juice pulp
1/2-2/3 cup garbanzo flour
1/4 cup chia seeds
splash of water
1/2 tsp fennel Seeds
1/4 tsp dried thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 425.
2. Mix ingredients in a bowl until paste consistency is produced.
3. Oil baking sheet.
4. Spread pulp dough to thin layer on the sheet.
5. Bake 30-40 minutes until crispy, cut into squares and bake again for 5-10 minutes if needed. (Sometimes it doesn't evenly bake to the middle part, so this is when you would cut it and bake again thoroughly.)




A great source of fiber, protein and PLENTY vitamins!! <3

Homemade Vegan (Almond) Yogurt

If you read my post on kombucha,
the same rules apply here!
Probiotics are amazing for your digestion, immunity, energy, and overall well being.

Here is another easy way to get some awesomeness into your system.

Step 1: Soak nuts in water over night. I used almonds.

Step 2: Strain the next morning and rinse.

Step 3: Blend with some water. Not too much, but not too little. You want a medium thick paste. Think thinner than nut butter.

Step 4: Leave in a bowl, covered with a cloth or paper towel for one day (about 12 hours) room temp.

Step 5: Add water if you want thinner, a splash of sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, whatever you please!




Serve it up in smoothies or just by itself!
