Kale Chips



This is outstandingly delicious and full of protein!
Kale has 27.2 grams of protein per pound according to the BLENDING BOOK by Ann Wigmore...we are using 1/2 lb for this recipe but you could easily increase it to a pound. That with the tahini and you just about have all the protein you need in a day. (Some nutritionist say we need 25-35 grams of protein and the FDA says around 50) Nutrition aside...this is just addictive. The nutritional yeast gives it a real cheesy flavor while the lime gives it that extra umphf. We LOVE this.I want to mention that there is no added salt which is nice. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

1. Go to Bjs and get a 1lb bag of Kale already chopped and ready for $1.49 (Crazy Cheap)
2. Blend the following ingredients: 1/4c.Tahini, 1/8c. Tamari, 1/8c Water, 1heaping TBSP Nutritional Yeast,1/2 big lime or 1 whole little lime
3. Now pour over Kale in big bowl and massage leaves so it is well coated. It should be just the right amounts so you won't have extra.

Dehydrate at 105* for 4 hours.

  1. This sounds really good. I love Kale! But I don't have a dehydrator. Can I put it in the oven at a really low temp? Or does that take away from the rawness of the recipe?
