Threat Your Gut with What it Likes the Most!

Juicing is an excellent way of extracting all the vitamins and minerals from your fruits and vegetables. But what do you do with all the leftover pulp? Instead of throwing it out, I have an exciting recipe that turns it into an absolutely delicious Veggie Burger. This recipe is packed with fiber and prebiotic benefits, making it an excellent choice for those looking to promote a healthy gut.

Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups leftover pulp from juicing (any mix of veggies, like carrot, celery, beet, kale, spinach, etc.)

- 1 egg, beaten

- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal

- 2 tbsp mayonnaise

- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

- 1/4 tsp garlic powder

- Salt and black pepper to taste

- 2 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the pulp, beaten egg, flaxseed meal, mayonnaise, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3. Use your hands to divide the mixture into four equal parts and form them into patties.

4. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

6. Transfer the patties onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked.

7. Serve your delicious and healthy veggie burgers on a toasted bun with your favorite toppings.

Tips for Success:

- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the pulp to prevent your burgers from falling apart.

- You can use any combination of leftover pulp that you prefer, including fruit pulp.

- Feel free to add any seasonings or herbs that you love.

- This recipe is freezer friendly, so you can make extra burgers and store them for later.

Prebiotic Benefits:

This recipe is packed with fiber, especially prebiotic fiber, which feeds the friendly bacteria in your gut and promotes a healthy digestive system. Flaxseed meal is an excellent source of prebiotic fiber, which helps to increase the growth of beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation in your gut. Additionally, the egg in this recipe provides protein that supports gut health, so this burger recipe is a perfect way to enjoy a delicious meal and promote good gut health.
