I really really try not to but I like to….oh what a dilemma. So I experiment with different things to eat. Here was a fun experiment. Banana chips!


1. First I cut up the bananas



2.Then I made a chocolate sauce out of agave and raw cacao powder



3. I coated the bananas with the sauce and put them on a dehydrator screen to dehydrated over night and part of the day



4. These turned out a little chewy which I like but next time I will leave them in longer to see how crispy I can get them.



Next time I am also going to coat them with shredded coconut. Yummmm

Happy banana-snacking! :}

Yes we have tried very hard not to snack but if we are watching a movie the urge is overwhelming. Sometime I make popcorn but even after that I know I didn’t make the best move for my body. I found a recipe for kale chips and tried them out. I did not love the recipe I used so I made my own- a concoction of the few recipes I tried out. These are so good and truly satisfy that salty craving. The best part is I don’t have that “I should’t have eaten that” feeling!


Ingredients:


One bunch kale {I use curley kale}

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Fresh crushed garlic {I use 3 cloves- LOVE garlic!}

1 tablespoon miso {whatever type you like}

Sea salt to your tasting.

Dash of cayenne

Directions:

  1. Remove kale from stalks
  2. Massage all ingredients into the kale. {This is my favorite part!}
  3. Let sit at least one hour.
  4. Put on dehydrator trays and dehydrate over night.
  5. Eat eat eat! These are very crunchy! You can even dip them in some vinegar!

I save the beautiful stalks and use for juicing the next day!

Happy snacking!
