Do you ever make paste?

Do you ever make paste?

The slurry is close to paste. I just drink it depending somewhat on the amount of water added. I sometimes use it as a base for vegetable soup. It makes far superior juice to drink. Far better than the commercial product IMO. I never add products to the basic plant product except water as necessary to make drinkable.
