As of right now I have stopped buying pre-packaged snacks. I used to always have nuts, crackers, chips and 100 calorie packs in the house, but not anymore. Even though it is a 100 calorie pack, I realized I was defeating the purpose by going back for 2, maybe 3 bags. And don’t get me started on almonds. I can not have almonds in the house and stop at 1 serving.
And that is my downfall. Snacking.
I have been focusing on my eating habits lately and came to this conclusion. I always start off my day healthy and end it unhealthy. I always have a healthy smoothie for breakfast and a nutritious lunch, but somewhere around 4pm the snack cravings start and I usually snack away my dinner appetite, which is not good.
I always look at recipes before heading to the grocery store and today I was specifically looking at healthy snack recipes that won’t spoil my appetite. I have seen so many recipes for baked kale chips, so I decided to grab a bunch of organic kale while at the store and make it for myself.
Woah. Wow. Wowwy Wow wow.
This stuff is GOOD. Better than good.
It’s amazing. I wish I made it sooner.
Crispy Kale Chips
It’s been one time, but I can already tell you that these kale chips are going to become a staple in my house. Even Kyle loved them, and he isn’t normally one for big, leafy greens.
In fact, these don’t taste as healthy as they actually are. Kale is one of the most nutritious foods you can eat for the least amount of calories. It is abundant in calcium, iron, vitamins A, C, and K, and has seven times the beta-carotene of broccoli! But the best part is that kale provides the same anticancer properties as other members of the cabbage family. Happy Snacking!
