Hey J2 owners, I just made walnut milk. I have wanted to make it but squeezing the milk from the nut bag is painful these days. I made cashew milk because I didn’t have to strain it. I made the cashew milk in my Vitamix.
But today, I decided to experiment. I put 2 cups of walnuts in the hopper and turned on. Then I slowly poured filtered water into the mix. The result, strained walnut milk and pulp. I ran the pulp back through to get all the liquid out. I’m going to use the pulp in a burger patty or baked goods.
Who makes pineapple and lemon juice using the whole fruit? I’ve been reading that are benefits to the peel of pineapples and lemons. Usually, to make these juices, I peel them. Lately, I have juiced the whole thing.
You ask why and how? The how is simple. I have a Nama J2 juicer that handles everything quite well. If you don’t like pulp you may need to strain it but I love it all.
Now for the why.
There are benefits to both peels. We know grated lemon peels had flavor to dishes but is there anything else. Oh, so much more. And for the pineapple peel. I didn’t know it was edible.

All that goodness we normally trash. I am now juicing it all. This saves time. I don’t have to cut the pineapple peel off and I don’t have to peel lemons. But warning! Wash everything, thoroughly. Especially if non-organic. It will be thicker so strain if you don’t like pulp. Happy juicing! 😊
