Homemade crispy kale chips are a delicious, tasty treat consisting of very few ingredients. One of the easiest recipes that pack a powerhouse of health benefits.
With fall foods showing up at the farmers markets, you may find an abundance of kale in your community, at the local farm or in your garden. I planted kale early spring and it’s been flourishing through the seasons since. With so much kale to enjoy from my own backyard, I have been enjoying it in salads, soups and alone- such as this tasty treat.
Kale chips can become soggy, so it’s recommended that you cook them on lower temps for a longer duration of time. Once baked, they store well in an air tight container and typically last up to a week long. Though I can never keep them that long because I LOVE them as a healthy snack.
Kale is one of the healthiest greens and a veggie loaded with antioxidants (which help remove unwanted toxins). Kale contains calcium, a variety of vitamins and fiber. Did you know that eating a cup of kale packs a punch of over 200% of your daily Vitamin A and 134% of Vitamin C? Vitamins that help support the body, reduce inflammation and support the immune system as we head into the colder seasons. Even more of a reason to enjoy this nutrient packed snack during the fall season.
With all of the health benefits, detoxification support and immune boosting benefits, this tasty treat is one I think may become a staple in your kitchen or pantry this fall and winter.
Crispy Kale Chips
Ingredients:
1 large bunch kale
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Sea salt to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
Wash and dry kale completely. Remove stalks and tear leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces of kale into a mixing bowl and lightly coat with coconut oil and sea salt (or seasoning). Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip each leaf and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until edges are crisp. Serve or store (once cooled) in an air tight container.
Note: I use garlic powder in place of salt but you can use any seasoning you desire.
Ladies~ How many of you are ready to ditch the diet book and magic pill? Are you so tired of being sick, tired and frustrated when it comes to your health and well being?
I get it because I was that girl! I cannot tell you how many books, diet pills, crappy supplements and “advice” I tore through while trying to lose weight. I wasn’t even thinking about health and how I felt. I was SO focused on the scale. There were times that it consumed me to no end. I didn’t know what to eat or how to eat. I also allowed no time for personal care. Have you been there?
I work with a lot of women and I see it all too often with my clients. I cannot tell you how many times I hear them say that they just want to feel better, find happiness, have energy and stop beating themselves up.
Food (REAL FOOD) changed my life in so many ways! I never knew I could feel this good, and that’s one of the big reasons why I help others. I want you to feel incredible too! I don’t want you to waste all of the time and money that I did while trying to figure it all out. But Ladies~ It’s not a diet… It’s a lifestyle! I want to help show you that it can be simple, easy and possible! PLUS, It’s so empowering!

if this sounds appealing to you, i welcome you to join me and other fabulous ladies as we experience my free (yes, free) 4 day clean eating challenge!
I am a Health Coach, lover of green smoothies, lover of simple eating and delicious food. I believe in the power of clean eating to improve digestion, ditch the bloat, give you the energy you desire for rockin’ workouts and clearer thinking.
I am for ditching the junk in the trunk and the excess belly fat, and accessing the foods that are “right for you,” that truly fuel you. Bio-individuality is so important, and it’s important to figure out what foods make you feel amazing and which ones don’t.
Many years ago, I struggled with health issues that took away from my happiness, my life, and my health. I had foggy thinking, rashes, allergies and a whole lot of bloat. No fun! I discovered that the way to lessen my food allergies, improve my digestion, and restore my happiness was through eating clean and taking care of my body.

This CREAMY SPINACH SOUP is so delicious and satisfying! It’s hard to believe it’s so good for you!
When I set out to create recipes for my clients, friends and family members, I want to make sure that I bring the freshest ingredients and a delicious mixture of flavors together. The past few weeks, I have been sharing information about my Clean Eating Lifestyle Program that launched this month. This is one of the MANY recipes I share in the program.
Growing up as a child, I always thought of soups as”fall foods.” Soups, stews and chili dishes definitely scream “fall foodie,” but there are so many soups that you can make and enjoy throughout the other seasons. It’s another great way to use and utilize fresh, seasonal goodies.
I love a deliciously chilled, creamy soup on a warm spring or summer day. Especially when I can use ingredients that are fresh from the garden. Eating seasonally is really beneficial to your body and health. In addition, you are saving money on your produce, giving back to the community and supporting local farmers. Thanks to my sister, I’ve had an abundance of kale and spinach. Two of my favorite leafy greens. If they are not in your daily or weekly meal plan, I highly recommend adding them. They are amazing and have SO many benefits! Go Green, Girlfriend!
This delicious recipe is sure to help with digestion and cleansing. Two things that we often need this time of year. Have you been living it up on the weekends, having fun at the beach or enjoying too many summer nights with friends? Simple recipes like this one will help to provide good quality nutrition with health benefits. Plus, it’s simple and easy to make!
You should be able to find young coconuts in most health food stores. I haven’t been as lucky in the grocery store, but they are around this time of year. Please be very careful when cutting the top open. Please contact me if you have additional questions about opening your coconut. You can also find demonstrations online.
This recipe is very simple and lasts for days, when stored in the fridge. Even with the avacado, it still keeps and has a beautiful green color. If you try the recipe, I would love to hear your feedback. Enjoy, gorgeous!
