Sustainable Juicing 101

With Sustainable Juicing you’ll learn how to reduce food waste utilizing the fiber from a freshly pressed juice to whip up delicious baked goods and tapenades found. Here are some of our favorite recipes that you can try at home using the pulp fiber that remains from juicing.

Benefits of JuicingJuicing is another way to up your intake of fruits and vegetables squeezing out many vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. However, you lose the fiber that adds to satiety and helps to improve digestive health. You also get more sugar without the fiber slowing the absorption, so we focus on juicing veggies, and we don’t waste the fiber by creating delicious and nutritious ways to utilize it. The juice used in these recipes actually replaces the oil that is found in many pestos and marinade, which make for a lighter and refreshing end result.

To get started with your own juicing practice, we recommend investing in a high-speed blender. We use a Breville Juicer which is a simple and affordable option for home use. For pestos and tapenades, we recommend using a high-speed blender or food processor. Once you have the equipment, all you need is fresh ingredients. Focus on using seasonally fresh ingredients sourced from your home garden, Farmer’s Market or local grocer. Using local, organic produce will allow you to capture the healthiest, most flavorful ingredients.

Juicing InstructionsPlace the ingredients in a juicer of your choice, in the order listed. Each recipe yields approximately eight cups of juice.

Pesto / Marinade InstructionsStart by blending the first ingredient listed followed by the rest of the ingredients listed in order. For hard items such as nuts, start with those first and then add in the corresponding juice. Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor, or pulse in a blender, until desired consistency. Each recipe makes approximately 3 cups. Pestos make for wonderful marinades and toppings for flatbreads or a new sauce for pasta dishes. Enjoy as a dip with fresh sliced cucumbers, assorted veggies or with your favorite corn chip.
