What can you do with Pulp leftover from a Juicer?

Do you ever avoid using your juicer because you hate to waste the pulp by throwing it out, but aren't quite sure what to do with it other than toss it? I'll admit, I've been guilty of doing just that thing. So with a little frustration I went on a hunt for ways to save that pulp from the garbage. And I'm not one to keep my discoveries to myself, I will gladly share with you, and I'm sure that's why you are here, to see just what it is that I discovered about the world of pulp from juicing.

So what can you do with the left over pulp from your juicer?

If you already compost (or are thinking about starting) the quickest and easiest thing to do with your leftover pulp is to compost it. This will return that material to nutrients that other plants can use while growing. And if you are juicing fruits and vegetables that you are growing yourself, what better way to recycle these leftovers than to return them to the cycle?

Pulp from fruits can be added into cakes, muffins, and sweet breads for just a few ideas. I've even added some fruit pulps to oatmeal, berries and apple pulp are my favorites to do this with.

For the pulp from vegetables, some people throw it in the blender and blend it up to make a nice creamy thick vegetable soup. Pulp can be frozen to use for this purpose, but you will definitely want to use it soon since it is from fresh vegetables, so be sure to date your pulp if you are freezing it to ensure that you don't accidentally eat any that has gone bad.
