Kale chips are amazing and very beneficial for the human organism. If your goal is to make life-enhancing choices then kale is the answer! Kale chips are ridiculously healthy, tasty, nutty, crunchy and a snack that everyone loves… especially kids!

Kale and fellow dark leafy greens are a key component to achieving optimal human health! Here’s a simple recipe.
Ingredients: Kale (1 bunch, organic is best), olive oil (3 tablespoons), nutritional yeast (1/4 cup) , sea salt (to taste)
Instructions and Preparation:
1. cut out the stems of a bunch of kale
2. break up the kale into kale chip sized pieces and put in a large bowl
3. pour roughly 3 tablespoons of olive oil on the kale and massage it in
4. sprinkle in approx. 1/4 cup or more of nutritional yeast
5. salt to taste
Dehydrating/Cooking Instructions: Put in a dehydrator at 105 degrees for 1-2 hours. Check them around an hour and a half to get perfect results.
Option: If you don’t have a dehydrator you can use an oven and bake them for 15 mins. at 350 degrees F.
Kale chips are best when prepared in a food dehydrator. Great news! You can also use an oven. They do come out differently, of course. Regardless kale provides you vital phytonutrients that are alkalizing. Maintaining an alkalized body has been shown to prevent many diseases.
What is nutritional yeast?
Nutritional yeast is commonly used to give a healthy version of a “cheesy” nutty flavor to recipes. You can even make popcorn with coconut oil and top it
with nutritional yeast. It is delicious! The health benefits of nutritional yeast are wonderful. It is a complete protein and contains many B vitamins. It is gluten-free & dairy-free!

Hello Jason,
Indeed they are. In fact, now that we have a dehydrator, our new chant is “More Kale, more kale, more kale” since we can’t make these fast enough.
