I second the use of leftover pulp, no need to waste
I esp. use carrot and celery as a base for Bolognese sauce – just add tomatoes and ground meat (if you like) or stews.

or good for pets, just add to the dog’s rice and meat for added vitamins

btw try juicing oranges! It comes out soo smooth and silky. love ti

oh Gail – a Champion is a really great one. I just drank my carrot, apple and grape concoction. It was mainly carrots but just enough fruit to make it yummy (it offset my french fry addiction….haven’t started my juice cleanse yet…lol)

No guilt allowed. We do what we can do as moms, and the juice is going to offset my french fries.

You just reminded me that I have a almost new Champion juicer in my garage. I love juicing, just got out of the habit. The pulp can be used in other dishes, I’m sure you know. What a blessing your parents were to teach you about healthy eating. I grew up on bacon fat in everything, and a balanced meal for us was a meat, potatoes, and lima beans for the green. You’re amazing to do all you do. Love your blog.

@Linda, That's what I do too. I'll turn that pulp into carrot & apple muffins or bread, soup, freeze it to make stock later, or if all else fails, it goes into the compost heap. I love the meatloaf idea though...

I don’t care for the taste of carrots, so I usually add a few granny smith apples to the carrots when I juice them. Their taste is strong enough that it is like drinking orange-colored apple juice!

Also, there are recipes for carrot muffins, etc. that will allow you to use some of the pulp (You’d have to make a TON of muffins to use it all!) but it does help me feel less wasteful…..
