Krispy Kale Chips ⁣⁣

Including vegetables at snack times will help you to meet your 5 serves per day. Unfortunately I’m not the type of person who will happily eat a cup of carrot sticks... which means I need to think outside of the box when planning my snacks!

Kale ‘Chips’ are a go to in my household - they’re super quick and tasty. I tend to whip them up when it’s close to dinner and I’m feeling peckish but don’t need a substantial snack. FYI if it’s been 3-4 hours since my last meal and my next one is more than 1 hour away I’ll reach for something rich in protein (e.g. nuts, yoghurt, hummus, canned tuna etc.) ANYWAY let’s not get off topic...:roll: ⁣

Dark green leafy veg provides us with so many important vitamins (eg Vitamin K), minerals (eg iron and calcium) and fibre. Put simply - they’re SUPER good for us. ⁣

Please give these a go - I promise they won’t disappoint! ⁣
