Do you throw away juicer waste? Here's a brilliant trick to transform it into super-crunchy, fiber-rich fitness bars!
Every morning it's the same story: you press the button on your juicer, you enjoy your vitamin boost, and a second later you find yourself staring at that basket full of moist fibers, wondering how to avoid throwing them in the organic waste.
- Fruit pulp (left over from the juicer, such as apple, pear, peach or carrot) to obtain it you need approximately 800-900 g of fruit 200 g
- Oat flakes 150 g
- 50g coarsely chopped almonds
- Honey or maple syrup 2 tablespoons
- Chia seeds 1 tablespoon
- Cinnamon 1 teaspoon
- Start by thoroughly washing fruit and carrots under running water. Cut apples, pears, and peaches into pieces, removing only the cores and seeds. Be sure to keep the peel on to preserve their valuable fiber content. As for carrots, I recommend removing the outer peel, unless they're organic and perfectly clean of any dirt.
- Now that the ingredients are ready, turn on your juicer and place the two containers to collect the liquid and pulp. Insert the fruit and carrot pieces a little at a time into the nozzle, allowing the machine to perfectly separate the liquid from the solids. Pour the resulting juice into a glass to enjoy immediately, and, above all, collect all the pulp left in the collection container: you'll need about 200 grams to make this recipe.
- Turn on the oven and set it to 180°C (350°F) convection mode so it reaches the optimal temperature while you prepare the dough. Then, take a small rectangular baking pan and line it with parchment paper to prevent the mixture from sticking. Take a large bowl and pour in the fruit pulp from your juicer. Immediately add the rolled oats and coarsely chopped almonds for a touch of crunch.
- Now add the honey, chia seeds, and a hint of cinnamon. Carefully mix all the ingredients together using a spoon, working them from the bottom up. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly sticky.
- Transfer the batter to the previously lined pan. Now press down firmly using the back of a wet spoon: this little trick will prevent the batter from sticking to the utensil. Level the surface well until it reaches a uniform thickness of about 1.5 cm to ensure even baking.
- Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C. Check the baking in the last few minutes: your bars are ready when the surface is golden brown and firm to the touch. Once the dough is completely cool, gently lift it from the baking sheet using the edges of the parchment paper and place it on a stable cutting board. Use a sharp, smooth-bladed knife: this is essential for a clean cut and to prevent the oat flakes from breaking apart. Make vertical cuts first, then horizontal ones, applying firm pressure from top to bottom without sawing, to obtain your bars of the size you prefer.
