I prepared 1 gallon of Really Really Green Juice today~
3 heads of celery
1 pound of spinach
handful of Swiss Chard
2 1/2 gala apples
ginger
lemon
water

I also juiced
5 pounds of carrots
1/2 head of celery
1/2 gala apple
ginger

Total juice for the next couple days: 1 gallon 1 1/2 quarts

I didn't want to see all that good pulp go to waste so I used the carrot pulp to make some kinda carrot cake/bread/cookie
they are in the dehydrator right now and I have some cashews soaking to make cashew cream cheese icing

Kathy's Carrot Cake/bread/cookie

Carrot pulp from juicing 5# of organic carrots
1 pineapple (I mashed up about half of it with my hands & the other half I blended in the Vita-mix)
1 c. raisins
3 c. of almond pulp from making almond milk
1 to 1 1/2 c. of soaked golden flax seeds
1 c. sunflower seeds
unsweetened organic dried coconut
allspice

Mixed it together and spread some on teflex sheets, some I made into cookie shapes and put a raw pecan on top.

I always use as much organic produce as possible. I do not always list when I am using organic. It gets a little redundant. I highly recommend that you use organic whenever possible. To help you determine the most important produce that you need to buy organic I have posted a list below with a link. Follow the link for more information.
