Do you and the kids have the munchies but want to avoid unhealthy treats this school year? If yes, Hearn Kirkwood is here to share a great treat with you! Crispy Kale Chips!

 

Kale chips can eliminate your munchies in a health fashion and help you stop giving into junk food temptations.

 

Kale chips are healthy alternatives to high-calorie, fatty and sugary snacks. They are very easy to prepare.

 

Kale is full of nutrients, adds very few calories to your diet and best of all it’s a delightful treat for your taste buds.

 

Kale is great for your health because it’s loaded with vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Vitamin B. It also is a great source of iron, calcium and fiber.

 

Kale is capable of reducing inflammation and repairs damaged cells, which is great for cancer prevention.

 

Crispy Kale Snacks

 

You can use a cheesy flavor mixing with 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast flakes and 1 tablespoon of finely ground walnuts into the sea salt.

 

Bake your kale chips at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes. Eat them right from the oven for a perfect, light, crispy treat.

 

You can also find kale chips in grocery stores like Hearn Kirkwood.
