Green Smoothie Likes to Do Vegan Laundry and Carrot Tortillas Juice Pulp Recipe














Smoothy is
1 ripe banana
1 roma tomato
about 10 grapes
1 kiwi
1 kale leaf
1 handfull baby greens
1 tbs Renew me
1 tbs AFA
2 tbs flax
Water



That is my pile of cloth napkins. Well, part of it. I get them at goodwill. I wash them in laundry soap that I make myself.

I use soap ends that I buy at the natural foods store in town and borax. 1 part soap, 2 parts borax. Grate the soap and mix in the borax. I store mine in a lidded trash can by the washer and use a tablespoon of the stuff per load. I can't remember how much it costs but it's at least as cheap as commercial laundry soap and it doesn't contain bleach or harsh perfumes.

I made a video about it that you can see here!

What do you do with all that pulp from Juicing? I am always looking for new recipes and trying to find something delicious to do with the leftover vege and fruit pulp when I juice. I compost some of it but it seems like sort of a waste, I know there must be more nutrition in that stuff!
Last night, in a fit of inspiration I made some carrot tortillas with juicing pulp.














Carrot Tortillas

1/2 cup or so of vegetable juice pulp. I used carrot and cucumber.
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 + 1/8 cup warm water

put in Food Processor with dough blade and process until the dough cleans the bowl.

Pull the dough out and knead with flour until "earlobe" soft. Then break it into eight equal pieces, flour the pieces and put them in a bowl let them rest for an hour or so. I left mine all day and they were quite easy to roll when I finally got around to it.














Roll very thin and cook them about 3 minutes on each side on a really hot skillet or grill. Don't cook them too long or they will get crispy.

Lined with a collard leaf, some leftover beans and sauerkraut.















Wrap it up and eat it.














Tasty!

Tell me, what do you do with your juicing pulp?
