I use a juicer daily to give my body the nutrition it needs/deserves which leavers me with a lot of extra pulp/fiber that I didn't know what to do with at the end of the day. I hated throwing it away so I bury it in my organic garden and it helps my vegetables grow better than ever! Happy Gardening.
I have an absolutely excellent recipe for juicer pulp.
3 cloves of garlic 2 tablespoons of flax seed meal 1/2 cup almonds, ground to a fine powder pulp from juicer (almost anything works) seasonings of your choice (Old Bay, Steak rub, be creative, works with almost anything that you like)
Combine all ingredients in a food processor, roll into a very thin "dough", and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 12 hours! The resulting crackers are wonderful, very high fiber, and will bust a hunger pang in a second. Eat a few, drink some water, and you're not hungry anymore. Loaded with fiber...obviously!
Here's an old tip from our old database: If you make your own juice, with a juice machine, take all the leavings and put around plants. Just scratch it into the soil, it will compost down and feed the plant. - Linda (01/11/2001)

When in doubt on organic "waste" put it in the garden! Ms. Syd Barr Dunkirk, MD (01/11/2001)
Pulp=great compost material. Cat's hate citrus smell, so you can put it around plants outside to keep them away or pieces of the rind can go in pots indoors. Use rinds as candied peel, in baking, dry for potpourri. - Flahive (01/12/2001)
RE: Frugal uses for juicers pulp?
well, this is going to be a change from all the other answers. Since I was all the veggies & fruits that I put thru my juicer. When juicing apples and carrots together, I've used the excess pulp when baking muffins. This way I still get the fiber that I'm missing out on by drinking it.
Also, when juicing carrots, especially, dump the pulp out by your wild bird feeders. They love it!!!! (01/23/2003)
You can also freeze the pulp and save for recipes calling for it. You can now buy pint size freezer bags that work well. (05/04/2004)

When ever I make a fruit (mainly Berry) drink I save the pulp and freeze it in popcicle molds and put it in the freezer. THe kids love it and at least I know they are getting their fiber!

RE: Frugal uses for juicers pulp?
I had a juicer and sent it back. I then bought a good blender,,put a few frozen veggies..a little water and/or canned tomato juice and puree away until its all liquid. If using fresh veggies..put through food chopper first and then puree with water and/or canned tomato juice. Not as much trouble as the juicer I had. (07/10/2005)

I just had a pulp casserole. I put some fresh spinach, ribboned, at the bottom of a bowl. Then some pulp. Then some cheese. Then I repeated. Not bad. (01/08/2006)
