“Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding
with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile,
leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never, ever the same.”

Resourceful Eats (& Drinks)

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:07:38 -0400

Today my little sis (she’s actually not that little, but will always be to me) decided to make fresh juice from apples, oranges, and grapes. Left over in the juicer were tons of lonely fruit bits that were going to be thrown away…and I felt bad! I thought, hey there’s gotta be something I can do with this fruit other than throw it away. So, I came up with the idea of a bread made with the leftover fruit fiber and some other simple ingredients, and I ended up with this yummy, super- moist and healthy bread that can be eaten for breakfast or for snack, even dessert!

Now before you dismiss this recipe because it involves juicing first, I suggest you to read a bit on juicing. It has numerous health benefits and doesn’t have to be a complicated process. With the right tools and a little know- how, juicing can be incorporated into your regular schedule and provide you with essential nutrients and enzymes in their raw and freshest form (no pill can compare to that!).

The Juice:

3 Apples
2 Oranges
2 large handfuls of Grapes

We use the Breville Juice Fountain Elite Juicer

The Bread:

Leftover pulp from the batch of juice
2 bananas (mashed)
2.5 cups of multigrain baking flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of sea salt (1/4 tspn)
5 tablespoons roasted flax seeds
5 teaspoons of organic raw sugar
2 eggs beaten
5 tablespoons olive oil

Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, and make a hole in the center to add wet ingredients. Mix well and pour into a lightly buttered and floured loaf pan or round cake pan (9- 11 inches). Bake for 50- 65 minutes at 400 degrees. Baking time varies upon pan size. Bread is ready when an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let stand for at least 30 minutes before slicing & serving. Enjoy!
