So we’ve already established that you can bake juice pulp into muffins, but you can also use it with raw dishes. I mixed it into guacamole, and loved the texture it added to it. In my opinion, chunky guac trumps smooth 10 times out of 10. Lots of restaurants (especially fast food chains) will serve smooth “guacamole” that is mixed with a filler (typically sour cream, but sometimes mayo) to cut costs. No thanks.
The juice pulp I used was a combo of kale, spinach, lemon, ginger, cilantro and celery. You can play around with all sorts of different juices though—I think some apple pulp would be a delicious variation! You could also use the nothing-but-greens juice recipe I posted last Sunday.
Mix your excess juice pulp into guacamole!
Ingredients
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small tomato, diced
- ¼ of a small red onion, chopped
- Juice from half a lemon
- ½ bunch of cilantro
- ½ cup green juice pulp
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix everything together. Make sure to remove any big chunks from the juice pulp.
- Serve with crackers or chips of choice. I used gluten-free rice crackers and they were delicious (Mary’s Gone Crackers is the brand).
Happy Sunday Funday! I’m heading out to do hoodrat stuff with my hoodrat friends around Southie—do you guys have any fun plans?
Hey there! I'm Nicole, a group fitness instructor, healthy lifestyle blogger (you probably figured that one out by now) and Certified Personal Trainer living in Boston, MA.
I love Mary’s gone crackers! Send me some? Heheh
Give me your address, I seriously will!
This is awesome – I just inherited a (free!) juicer from my sister, so I’m glad to have something un-wasteful to do with the juice guts. And good to know about that sneaky restaurant trick – smooth, milky guac should never be a thing!
Right?? I was not a happy camper when I found that out.
This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Nicole,
