Where, oh where...

...has my plate of kale gone?

I transformed an entire bunch of kale into kale chips.  

And then ate all of them.  Yes, all.

Want your own?  Find a bunch of kale and wash well.  Chop it into chip-sized pieces (I cut the stem parts smaller so they become juicy little bites--why waste them?).  Bake them at 350 for 13 minutes.  Optionally, spread with a light coating of olive oil and/or salt before baking.  

Or...

just throw the whole leaf on a grill.  No oil or salt needed.  




Why would I waste such a nutritious and healthy whole food and bake the crap out of it?  

Because I had two batches.  2 - 1 = 1

One left for my smoothies. 

Like this one:


What's in there?

3 kale leaves
1/4 cup blueberries
1 baked beet
3 frozen strawberries
1 banana
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon raw cacao powder
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
1 pitted date
