At DNA Health we are always concerned about how to minimize waste through easy healthy cooking. Since the launch of our new DNA Cold Flow Juicer, we have been wondering how to put the leftover pulp to good use. Using our DNA Airfryer Oven creating these dishes will be a breeze. Especially when making use of the 16 available presets.
Almond Pulp Cookies
Everyone loves almond milk! And that rich almond flavour can be put into baking almond pulp cookies. Use your almond pulp as part of the batter, and you can add some seeds or other ingredients to really play with the flavour. In our recipe, we used flax seeds and bananas to enhance the texture and flavour of the cookies. Plus it was great to pair it with the almond milk we prepared using the DNA Cold Flow Juicer!
Soup Broth From Pulp
Now is the time to put that vegetable pulp to good use! Soups are healthy for you and sometimes it is the broth making that can take some time, but now you can pre-make some nutritious vegetable broth using your vegetable juice pulp. All you have to do is to grab a large pot with water, add your pulp and bring it to a boil. If desired you can add your own spices to the mix. After 45-60 minutes strain the pulp and store the broth for later use.
Pulp Muffins and Cakes
Who doesn’t like cake or muffins? They are versatile and beloved baked treats and with the inclusion of some of your leftover pulp, they can come in a wide range of flavours.
- Carrot Cake: replace your grated carrots with soaked carrot pulp
- Fruit-flavoured muffins: using any muffin recipe you can add any pulp to add that unique flavour to it. Or even hide some vegetable pulp inside to trick the kids.
- Apple Pulp Pie: replace your marinated chopped apples with soaked and marinated apple pulp, but remember to use apple pulp quickly once you’re finished juicing to minimise the browning process that comes naturally with cut apples.
Pulp Smoothies
Smoothies are a great addition to your morning routine and with the addition of your leftover pulp to your smoothies you get more nutrients, a thicker blend and that extra bit of fibre which we all know we need every morning. You can try any combination for example a banana smoothy with some almond pulp, a mix berry smoothy with a mix of fruit pulp, or a green smoothy with some cucumber and kale pulp. We encourage you to experiment with the flavours!
Breads, pancakes and waffles
- Banana bread with almond pulp; bake a household favourite using that nutritious leftover almond pulp.
- Spiced carrot pecan bread; just like normal bread only delicious with the use of carrot pulp.
- Loaded pancakes; simply add the pulp of your choosing to the batter and enjoy the burst of flavour!
- Fruity waffles; using different pulps in your recipes you can make great savoury waffles for every occasion from sweet desserts, to vegetable-filled lunches and protein-layered dinners.
Fruit Leather from Pulp
The best sweet treat is fruit leather and now you can make your own at home using your leftover fruit pulp. Flatten your pulp evenly across a sheet of baking paper, place it into your DNA Airfryer Oven and use the dehydration preset. After some hours you will have delicious fruit leather treats to enjoy!
Plant-Based Pulp Patties
This is the vegan dream! Plant-based meats right at home! Using leftover vegetable pulp you can make plant-based ‘meat’ patties and ‘meat’-balls. Using a flax egg (ground flax meal and water) and some vegan butter mix into your ‘meat’-balls or patties and place into the DNA Airfryer Oven. Create plant-based burgers and pasta that anyone and everyone can enjoy!
Clothing Dye From Pulp
A great hack for DIY enthusiasts! Using a mixture of different fruit and vegetable pulps you can dye clothing into a variety of different colours.
- Red: beet, cherries, raspberries.
- Orange: paprika, red onion.
- Yellow: lemon, pomegranate, turmeric.
- Green: artichokes, fresh herbs, spinach.
- Blue: blueberries.
- Purple: blackberries, red cabbage.
Pulp Crackers
These are a perfect grab-and-go snack for those with allergies, or intolerances. Using different pulps you are sure to unlock a range of flavours from almond crackers, carrot crackers and some vegetable crackers. They’re even durable enough to scoop up some of your favourite dips to enjoy it with.
