If you did, you can return it even without a receit and get something else. They stand by what they sell there. I just bought my Ninja 1500 and love the juice I get from it. You make up juice as you go. I love the green juice. It was delicious!

The thing to remember is that the Ninja is a blender, NOT a juicer, so you will need to strain the juice or add ice cubes to your mix to make it drinkable. The Ninja folks don’t do a good job of explaining this, in my opinion.

Here is an instructional I did on juicing and also a top line overview of the different approaches that might help you in the future.

I have lots of recipes in my Ninja Blender recipe page, that should help you in lieu of Ninja providing a recipe book, or at least give some ideas.

Really, I have a Jack LaLane and thought that the Ninja was a juicer because of the commercial on TV. Wow all the samples they did. Was I embarassed when I presented this cup of thick substance to my husband with a whole lot of excuses because he didn’t want me to get another juicer but finally gave in. I had to make good juices and after 2 tries haven’t yet. I am so so disappointed. I have so many machines, I thought that this time spendinga bit more money I could finally succeed.
So please don’t buy stuff until you really research them. I can’t send this back as it is used and if I was a new buyer I wouldn’t want a used machine unless it was at a low price. I will try other receipts here in the Ninja hoping and praying that I can hit a few that I can use that my husband will call juice. Also no receipt book, unless you pay $30.00. I’m thinking of that, YET!!
Confused. Thanks for listening.

I often leave the peel when I make applesauce and it really has no impact on the texture. It’s worth a shot!

Do you think it would make the pulp more ‘grainy’?

Good for you for making something good and then eating it all up.

As I think more about this I think you could get away without peeling it. Just core it, blend it, and dehydrate. You would get the added fiber from the peel and it would save a step…

Thanks for reporting back, Dan. I enjoyed reading about your project! We don’t have a kitchen right now due to an in-progress full gut remodel, but I will be trying this straight away when we get one again.

And a juicer would leave drier pulp.

And it’s simple enough to make that kids could do it (with adult supervision). But when you’re cooking for one, it’s too much trouble what with peeling, coring, blending, and then six hours in the oven.

Oh yeah. It was delicious and I’ve finished it already.

Do you think it would work better in a dehydrator? It sounds delicious!
