[kuntrygirl]

Had a green juice for brunch. Stocked up on juicing supplies and will drink at least 32 ounce of juice every day this wk.

Do ya'll think I can freeze the juice pulp and use it later?

Juice Pulp Veggie Burgers

1 cup juice pulp
1 cup aduki beans (or black beans, or any other bean for that matter)
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp tamari
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (I used 6 mini portobellos)
1 1/3 cup ground almonds
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
salt and pepper
1/4 cup of water (add more water if it needs a little help processing)

Blend up the beans until smooth add in juice pulp, mushrooms, tahini and tamari. Blend until smooth. Add in ground almonds (almonds should be roughly ground). Add in spices and stir until combined. Form into patty shape (You'll get about 10 small burgers or 7 big ones). Bake in a 350F oven for 25 minutes. Top with avocado and paprika!

Carrot Pulp Veggie Burgers (4-6 burgers)


1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup of carrot pulp
2 cups crushed cornflakes
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Hamburger buns

In a bowl, combine carrots, carrot pulp, cornflakes, eggs, celery, onion, salt, and pepper; mix well. Form into six patties. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook patties for 3 minutes on each side or until browned or cook on the grill. Serve on buns if desired.

Choosing Raw’s Juice Pulp Crackers (raw, vegan, GF and soy free if you use coconut aminos)

Makes about 24-30 crackers

2 heaping cups juice pulp (any veggies you like)
1/2 cup flax meal
3 tbsp nama shoyu or tamari or coconut aminos (if you’re gluten and/or soy free)
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp curry powder
Black pepper to taste (I’m generous with it)
1/4-1/2 cup water

1) Blend all ingredients save the water in a food processor. Add water in a thin stream till the mix is easy to spread, but not watery (the amount of water you’ll need will vary based on how watery the pulp is).

2) Turn the "dough" out onto a teflex dehydrator sheet and spread it evenly. Score into cracker or flatbread shapes–I tend to do half and half of each!

3) Dehydrate the crackers at 115 degrees for about 4 hours. Flip the sheet by putting another teflex sheet over it, flipping it over, and then peeling off your original sheet.

4) Dehydrate for another 4-5 hours, or until crackers are nice and crunchy (again, this time may vary based on how watery your pulp was).

5) Serve with salads, hummus, or as you please!

Oven option: bake crackers at 325 degrees for about 30 minutes, checking on them often to be sure they’re not burning. Use your kitchen intuition!

Today is Day 1 of 10 of my 2nd Juice cleanse. Wish me luck.

Good luck!

I ended up with a Juiceman juicer from Target. Walmart was out of the GE & Bed, Bath & Beyond only had real expensive ones. I like the Juiceman - it is more "vertical" than the others - doesn't have that big plastic thing sticking out of the back. It is 800 watts so plenty of power & relatively quiet.

Question: if a recipe says to add 2 cups of water, do you add it to the juice after you process it or during?

I've had fruit juices the past 2 mornings - too much carrot in the first one but this morning's was pretty good. But I ran out of time to clean the machine & make a 2nd "veggie" one for lunch (which, I didn't have lunch anyway as I had to race home & catch 4 chickens instead).

Another question then, can you make the fruit one the night before & keep it in the fridge until morning? Then I could have time to make the veggie one to bring for lunch.

I'm having *normal* - but healthy - meals at night, because my husband actually needs to gain a few pounds (ah, that I would be so lucky)!

I will grate 5 + lbs of carrots at a time for cooking. They are mushy when thawed but work great added to ground beef. I throw them in every recipe that uses ground beef from meatloaf to chili.
I think pulp could work well since there is it is so dry. You could make the burgers & freeze them if freezing the pull doesn't work.

If it were me, I would add it after I process and shake it up all together in a container.

And yes, I have made it the night before and had it in the morning. I have heard that you can add a touch of lemon juice to help preserve it but it should be ok overnight.

I don't like the look of fruit juice when it sits in the fridge overnight. DH leaves the house @ 4 am so he has store bought juice -- such as bolt house or naked. Only bad part is the store bought juice is pretty sweet & he has a sweet tooth so the green juice is hard on him at home. I started adding 4-6 carrots to the mean green juice & he does better.
