Wondering what to do with the pulp left over after making ABC juice? Turn it into pancakes.

These ABC Juice Pulp Pancakes use the leftover pulp from fresh apple, beet, and carrot juice, giving it a simple and delicious second use. Just a few spoonfuls of pulp can be mixed directly into pancake batter for an easy homemade breakfast.

The recipe is especially convenient when you're already making fresh juice: enjoy the juice as a drink, then use some of the remaining pulp to make a warm stack of pancakes.

What is ABC juice?
ABC juice commonly refers to a fresh juice made with apple, beet, and carrot. This recipe uses the pulp left behind after juicing those three ingredients.

Why Use Leftover Juice Pulp?

Juicing separates the liquid from much of the fruit and vegetable pulp. Instead of discarding all of that pulp, a small portion can be incorporated into recipes such as pancakes.

Apple, beet, and carrot pulp adds a little color, texture, and produce to the batter without requiring an extra preparation step.

Important: Use fresh pulp that has been handled and refrigerated properly, and use it promptly. Juice pulp is moist and perishable.

About the Juice Pulp

For this recipe, use the pulp collected after juicing fresh apples, beets, and carrots.

If the pulp is particularly wet, gently press out some excess liquid before adding it to the batter. The consistency of juice pulp can vary depending on the produce and juicing method used.

Serving Ideas

These pancakes can be served just like traditional pancakes. Try them with:

• Fresh berries or sliced fruit
• Plain or Greek yogurt
• A small drizzle of maple syrup
• Nut or seed butter
• A glass of freshly made ABC juice

The flavor of the juice pulp is relatively subtle when only a few tablespoons are mixed into a full batch of pancake batter.
