Green Juice Pulp Muffins – Easy, Healthy, and No Waste!
For all my fellow juicers or overall green lovers out there, here is my go-to Green Juice Pulp Muffins. I love to make Green Juice every morning to get my day started on a good note, here is my favorite Green Juice Recipe.
No Waste
Juicing gets a bad reputation because it leaves “pulp waste” behind. I am a huge advocate for using everything, not wasting, and being sustainable. Therefore, I developed this quick, easy, plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free friendly recipe to make the most of juice scraps!
Store, Blend, Bake, Enjoy
I save my green juice pulp by keeping it in the freezer. Once I am ready to make some muffins, I will defrost the pulp, throw it into the blender, bake, and enjoy! The beauty of this recipe is that you just need to throw everything into a blender or food processor.
Freezer Friendly
Not everyone can eat 12 green juice pulp muffins before they go bad, so I will freeze my muffins in an airtight container until I am ready to enjoy them. I just reheat them in the morning for breakfast, maybe spread some nut butter on top, then on I go with the rest of my day.
Don’t have Juice Pulp?
If you want to make these without juice pulp, then you can simply replace the pulp with blended up greens of your choice. Whether it is kale, spinach, or any other leafy green you have laying around.

TIPS AND TRICKS
- Freeze your green juice pulp muffins until you are ready to make muffins
- Blend up a leafy green if you don’t have any green juice pulp to use
