Vegetable pulp flat bread

I take vegetable juice daily. I get a lot of pulp which I throw away. There are several reasons for this. Firstly we need only thirty grams of fibre a day. I get lot more than that. Secondly the pulp is tasteless after extracting the juice. I thought why not use some of it to make flat bread. So here is what I did.
Making this flat bread is very similar to my Coconut Flat Bread recipe. Only difference is that we are adding the pulp. The pulp came from spinach, celery, pumpkin and apple. If you use lot of greens in your juicing the pulp will be too fibrous and bitter. The pumpkin, apple and celery in my pulp gave a nice taste.

I tasted the stock, it turned out to be extremely delicious and I could take it on its own as a soup.
I preserved the stock in the freezer.
