Ca-WOW Kale Chips

Kale is one of the best greens you can eat. It is a great source of fiber, highly alkaline and rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, calcium, beta-carotene, vitamin C, folic acid, vitamin B6, manganese, and potassium. These chips are not only tasty but are full of health benefits with high anti-oxidants, pure protein and immune boosting. WOW is right.

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches of kale (14-16 leaves)
• ⅓ cup coconut oil
• ¼ cup cacao powder
• ¼ cup Delores hemp seed
• ¼ teaspoon rock salt
• ⅓ cup coconut sugar
• 2 tablespoons coconut cacao nibs (or cacao nibs)

Directions:

1. Remove stems of kale, wash, pat dry and tear into strips (3-4 inches) and place in a large bowl.
2. Melt coconut oil over low heat, cool and pour evenly over kale and hand mix together.
3. In a separate small bowl, mix all of the remaining ingredients together. Then evenly sprinkle onto kale and mix with hands until all kale coated.
4. Place in a dehydrator for about 4 hours. If you do  not have access to a dehydrator, then for oven baking: preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); line a non-insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper and bake chips about 10-15 minutes until the edges brown but are not burnt.
5. Keep in an airtight container.
