I've been making nut milk.  After extracting the liquid from the pulp, I usually throw the pulp away.  But this seems very wasteful to me.  Sometimes I'll eat a tablespoon of the pulp, and discard the rest.  It's fairly bland.

I was wondering (first), if I'm throwing away vital nutrients.  What is in the pulp that I'm wasting?  Protein?  Fiber?  Obviously fiber...  What else?  How much of the nuts nutrients am I extracting in the milking process?

Second.. Does anyone have any suggestions to use the pulp matter?  I'm thinking of adding it to my smoothies the next time I make a batch of nut milk.  What about other uses?

Or, if I've extracted most of the nutrients, and have only fiber left.. Would the pulp be a good additive to compost?  I'm worried that any fat content might cause the compost to spoil or go rancid.

I add my almond fibers to smoothies. Baking pie crusts are a good idea (But not good for calories). I freeze them in bags and pop them into smoothies). There are some nutrients left. If nothing else- compost it. Cellulose will decompose eventually. If you don't have a compost throw it into your vegetable garden or in a flower bed etc. Don't let it go to the landfill:S
