Do you own a juicer? If so, this recipe is for you. Occasionally I like to have a fresh juice for breakfast or lunch, but I get sad when I see how much pulp is left in the waste container when I’m done. I just can’t bring myself to throw it out! So yesterday I made a point to trim my fruits and veggies of any seeds before it went into the juicer so the pulp would be perfect for baking.
First lets review what went into my fresh juice:
5-6 large carrots
1-2 apples skin on, seeds removed
2 lemons peel and seeds removed
1 inch piece of fresh ginger
I took the juicer pulp from the waste container and set it aside while I prepared my ingredients for a fibre packed muffin. The muffins are perfect for breakfast or afternoon snack. If you’re curious, I have this Breville Juicer and I love it so much, it’s super easy to clean and makes great juice.
Here’s the recipe:
