Green Apple and Ginger Bread

I have a juicer. Not one of those expensive ones, just one I got from Walmart for about $50. I recently mixed up a juice that my little ones loved! (Which for me is a great accomplishment.) They usually take one sip and set the glass down, but not this time. Anytime they ask for more, I know I made a hit! (One happy mom here!)

Here is the juice recipe so you can share it with your family!

8 medium organic granny smith apples

2 medium organic gala apples

2 organic carrots
10-15 large green grapes

1 1/2 inch fresh organic ginger root peeled

About 8 oz of fresh organic raw baby spinach leaves

Once I juiced it, I diluted with water to a 40:60 ratio with 40% being water and 60% being juice.

There is one thing about those cheap juicers though that really eats me up: they leave behind a tremendous amount of pulp. Wasted veggies and fruits, is how I see it. I am always looking for new ways to use the pulp so it doesn't go to waste.

Here's my newest recipe for you to try at home!

Green Apple and Ginger Bread 

(A fall flavor! I just love fall!)

You will need:

The pulp from the previous juice recipe.

1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cup plain organic yogurt (I use Strauss Family Creamery brand)

Blend until smooth and no chunks of greens are left.

Then mix together in a separate bowl:

1 1/2 cups freshly milled organic brown rice flour (I mill mine out of Lunberg Rice)

3/4 teaspoon baking soda (I use Arm n Hammer)

3/4 teaspoon salt (I use David's Kosher Salt)

Add dry ingredients to yogurt/pulp mixture, mixing well.

Add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I use California Olive Ranch)

3/4 - 1 cup organic raisins (I use Sun-maid Organic)
1/4 cup shelled pumpkin seeds (optional)

1/4-1/2 cup Sugar in the Raw (Regular sugar will work if that is all you have, brown sugar is better, but raw sugar is preferred for the specific flavor.)

Bake in a 8-9 inch square glass Pyrex pan that has been generously oiled with extra virgin olive oil at 350 degrees until bottom and top are moderately browned. Toothpick inserted into the center should also come out fairly clean.

Let sit for 10- 15 minutes for the flavors to mellow, then serve warm! Enjoy this fall favorite with your family this season!

Happy Baking!
