Juicy Juice!
- Juicing, Vegan MoFo
-
Hallelujah! My first “yummmmmm!” juice concoction! This recipe came courtesy of the Top 100 Juices book I picked up the other day.
Oranges, Kiwi, Spinach, and an invisible Apple
It all started with a couple oranges, a couple kiwi, and a half-full tub of spinach. (There was also an invisible apple – see it?)
This juice was a little more labor intensive, as I had to peel the oranges and kiwi. I’ve never peeled an orange before. I hit up YouTube for instructions, and the first guy demonstrated how to peel it with a fork. Uh – yeah. No. I must not have bionic forks. Fail. The next video I found had a lady demonstrating how to peel an orange with a spoon. I was optimistic, since that’s how I peel kiwi – but no. Fail. Finally, I just dug in and peeled it with my hands. (Imagine that!)
The disastrous remnants
It gets kind of chaotic in here!
Juice Party
But there’s no such thing as a good party without a little chaos. Such fun colors!
Have you ever wondered what the pulp looks like after juicing?
The leftover pulp
I hear it can be used in baking, but I haven’t gone that route yet. I’d love to see a cookbook with recipes for fruit and veggie pulp. It seems there’s an untapped niche somewhere in here….
The pulp from the Breville is very dry (which is good – because the juice should be in the jug, not in the pulp!). It feels wasteful throwing the pulp away, so I will soon make a diligent effort to find ways to use it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a way to compost my food scraps at the new place (city living, no land). I’m investigating options. If you have any ideas, please let me know!
At long last…
Look, Mom - it's green!
The most delicious juice I’ve made thus far. Cheers!

The pulp looks kinda yummy.
Hmm, I kind of can’t imagine baking with the pulp
You may be on to something though because everything processed these days seems to say “high fiber” so it’s definitely the trend.
We started worm composting and it’s pretty awesome. You can do it inside or out (depending on temps) no smell, pretty low maintenance and so cool to watch! Might be an option for you too.
You totally are a mini-me, Waffles.
