Do your kids love chips? Sometimes kids (and adults) just need to “mindlessly munch.” It’s allowable if the snack is a super-food like kale. Kale is a form of cabbage. Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, and is reasonably rich in calcium. Kale, as with broccoli, contains sulforaphane, a chemical with potent anti-cancer properties. Go ahead and crunch-clean with the following recipe…
Recipe: Kale Chips

1 bunch kale, washed and dried completely
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Dash of Sea salt

- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Line a non-insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper, or spray olive oil spray onto a cookie sheet.
- Remove the leaves from the thick stems, and discard the stems; tear leaves into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Toss kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings, salt and cheese.
