One large handful of organic spinach, two cups of organic soy milk, one half of frozen banana, one scoop of vanilla complete and blend! This is my son’s favorite and it’s extremely simple and delicious.

 

Isn’t it pretty?Banna-green-smoothie

You know how bananas go bad so quickly so what we do is on the day after they get a little bit too right then peel them break them in half and put them in a gallon Ziploc. They blend up nicely and make your smoothies very creamy.

Super Tasty Seasoned Kale Chips:

Love kale chips, however they’re $5 for this tiny little bag and some of them are not very tasty. They are so simple to make!  Below I have quadruple the recipe so you will have plenty to share! I can literally eat a whole pan in one sitting.
Super Tasty Seasoned Kale Chips:
Ingredients:
Makes 4 baking sheets
approx 2 bunches kale leaves, torn and all large stems removed.
4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil
5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon fine grain pink Himalayan sea salt
1 teaspoon Spicy Sea Salt blend (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300F. Spray metal baking sheets with non stick spray.

Remove leaves from the stems of the kale and roughly tear it up into large pieces. Compost the stems (or freeze for smoothies). Wash and spin the leaves until thoroughly dry. I use a salad spinner and do in 1/2 bunch batches pet pan.
Add kale leaves (1/2 bunch) into a large bowl. Add 4T oil into a mixing bowl. Add ask the spices and whisk together.
Massage in 3/4 T oil until totally coated in oil. Now sprinkle on 1 1/2 T of the spices and massage to combine.
Spread out the 1/2 bunck of seasoned kale onto the baking sheet into a single layer, as best as possible.
Bake for 11 minutes, mix a bit with tongs, spread out again and bake for another 15 minutes until the kale begins to brown. The kale will shrink. Bake for 25 mins. total or until slightly browned only on the edges.
Cool for 3 minutes on plan then spread onto wax paper. Dig in!
Repeat for the other half of the bunches of remaining make.
Kale Chips won’t last long around my house, so addicting! However, if you double,  triple or quadruple the recipe (such as above) you will have enough to share! Even my 18 year old boy said they’re not that bad LOL! Enjoy!
