Juicing 301: To Pulp or not to Pulp…this is the question

So I just got back from teaching a swim lesson with some of the most WONDERFUL children.  Shouts out to Chloe and Dajuan…see you both tomorrow! 🙂  Anywho, I’m kinda hungry but I don’t want food food.  My body is craving juice.

Here is my delima…I’m not sure if I want pulp in my juice today.  Yeah yeah yeah…I know this may not seem like a big issue to some, but to me it is.

I bet you are wondering, “if you are juicing how do you get pulp?” Well let me tell you.  Most times I don’t use a typical juicer.  I use my HealthMaster™ Fruit & Vegetable Emulsifier.

I absolutely love it!! I thank my Mummie EVERYDAY, because she is the one that bought it for me!  This machine prepares/makes: both hot and cold dishes; hot nutritious soups, sauces and breads; old delicious Ice Creams, Gelatos and Sorbets; and uses centrifugal friction to heat naturally and help retain beneficial nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals (yeah I know I sound like an advert! ;))

But then I was also wondering the pulp I have left AFTER I juice what can I do with it? Right now I have been throwing it away.  Thank God for making the person who made Google!!

So I began to Google what to do with juice pulp and here is what I got…
