No Produce Left Behind! Juicing for the Win

Tuesday is my version of a “fast-food run” — only my drive-thru is the farmers market. Before I fill my fridge with fresh, local goodies, I always clear out what’s left by tossing it all into the juicer.

Sometimes I get a little nervous about what I’m creating (let’s be honest, green juice roulette is real 😅), but it always turns out delicious — and loaded with mega nutrition. And when in doubt, an apple or pear always saves the day.

This week’s combo was such a pleasant surprise that I had to share it with you — proof that practicing a No Produce Left Behind mindset not only cuts food waste, but also fuels your body with goodness you might’ve otherwise tossed.

Today’s “Clean-Out-the-Fridge” Juice Recipe

  • 1 bunch kale

  • 4 broccoli stems (yep, just the stems!)

  • 1 green bell pepper

  • ½ pineapple

  • 3 apples

  • 1 lemon

  • 1-inch fresh ginger

Earthly Bodies Tip: Save your broccoli stems after roasting the crowns — they’re rich in fiber and nutrients, and your body loves them too.

Why I Love This practice

This little Tuesday habit does more than make space in my fridge — it’s a reset for my body and a reminder to eat (and drink) mindfully. Juicing what you already have:

  • Reduces food waste ♻️

  • Boosts daily nutrients 🌱

  • Encourages creativity in the kitchen ✨

Have you ever thrown random leftovers into the juicer and been pleasantly surprised? Share your “accidental delicious” recipes in the comments below or tag me on the socials with #EarthlyBodies and #EBNL.
