Munchin' on Kale Chips!

I have a new obsession in the world of snacks...

Once it was dark chocolate, then raw nuts and now kale chips!

I first picked up a bag of them at my health food store, reading the label thinking 'imitation cheese flavouring'? Really?!

Let me tell you that they are so addicting, once you eat one, pretty soon half the bag is gone. It's the same with homemade, organic popcorn. You're watching that movie and pretty soon you realize how much is actually gone from the bowl. When your mind is elsewhere, scary things happen...

I've seen the kale flavoured with all-vegan style ranch dressing, lemons, cheese and even hemp!

The kale is very thin and crunchy, not to mention nutritious and heart-healthy.

All organic, vegan and gluten-free of course!

So go ahead, don't be shy. Pick up a bag and you'll see what I mean. For the raw foodies already out there, you probably know what I'm talking about.

I've even included a homemade recipe you can do right in the comfort of your own kitchen! Made with love and much more cost effective!

Ingredients:

• A bundle/bag of Organic Kale torn into bite size pieces
• 2-3 Tablespoons of Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (cold-pressed)
• Pink Himalayan Salt and Organic Pepper
• A pinch of Organic Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
• 4-5 Tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast (if you're not a vegan and don’t want to use Nutritional Yeast, you could put finely grated Organic Parmesan on top instead and that would be equally delicious).

Preparation:

1. Place your torn kale into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and massage oil into the kale. You want it to get a nice coating so the nutritional yeast will stick to it.                
2. Line a baking sheet with eco-friendly parchment paper and place the kale leaves on the sheet, not layering too much. You may need to do two batches. Sprinkle the Nutritional Yeast over each leaf to your liking.
3. Bake on low temperature for up to 10 minutes until dry. Keep an eye on them as they brown quickly! Serve hot or at room temperature.

Try one and you won't be able to resist the taste and crunch kale chips have to offer.

I think I got one too many crumbs on my keyboard while I was typing and snacking away. Oops!
