When first making these kale chips I was a little hesitant that I was even going to like them let alone LOVE them.
They almost look too healthy to be any good.
I just took the plunge and stuffed a chip in my mouth and started chewing.
It was crispy, crunchy and delicious!!
I knew I had to make these for my kids and they loved them! If you love kale like we do, try these kale recipes: Naval Orange and Kale Salad, Kale Chopped Salad or Kumquat n Kale Power Salad.
These are such a fun way to get your greens. And tasty too.
I knew my kiddos would be hesitant to try these, but let me tell you, once they took a bite, it was no holds barred.
They totally dug in and enjoyed them.

I am thinking I will add it in to our weekly snacking, as well as our back to school lunch options.
