Pulp muffins are probably the most popular way that people like to use their leftover pulp after juicing. And if you're doing any type of juicing program, you'll get a lot of pulp. The pulp does enhance flavor and add fiber, but too much can make a really dense and heavy muffin so be sure not to use too much. It’s an alternative to using the whole fruit, and nothing goes to waste.
While not as famous as juicer pulp muffins, salsa, burgers and cookies are also a great way to utilize your leftovers… be sure to check out those recipes too (when you are done making your muffins, of course :)
