EASY, QUICK, LOW CAL SNACK-KALE CHIPS

QUICK, EASY, & LOW CAL SNACK
                     (Don't tell the kids but it's good for you too!)

Are you trying to get healthy and eat better for the New Year, but finding it hard to give up all the "good stuff"? Old habits are hard to break and it takes about 21 days to form new ones.  If you're like me and you love chips with your sandwich here is a healthy alternative to the high fat, high calorie, 0 nutrition potato chip. It is the KALE CHIP! Packed with nutrition, easy to make, cheap to buy, and best of all delicious. Here's to a healthy new you.

Recipe 
preheat oven to 350 degrees
INGREDIENTS
* 2 cups fresh kale leaves (if you really buy the fresh stuff on the stems make sure you wash it really, really well and then remove the leaves from the stem and dry the kale off. I'm lazy and buy the bagged stuff that is pre washed and cut, just sayin...)
* 1 Tbsp Olive oil or coconut oil
*olive oil spray
*Dash salt (sea salt or kosher salt works best)
If you want spicy a dash of paprika and/or chili powder
Cut the kale up into bite size pieces, toss kale and olive/coconut oil together using your fingers. Lay the kale out on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with the olive oil spray and make sure the kale leaves lie as flat as possible. Bake for 10-15 minutes (until the edges get brown, not burnt). Once you remove them from the oven sprinkle them with the salt,paprika, or any other calorie free flavoring that you might like-Enjoy!!
