Kale Sprouts

Kale Sprout chips in the making :)

A delicious hybrid of Red Kale and Brussels sprouts.  Today I made kale sprout chips and they were delicious!  Just toss on a baking sheet, add olive oil, some sea salt and roast at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. That's it! They're a perfect low calorie snack packed with all kinds of goodness!! Here's just some of this super stars stats:

• 1 1/2 cups only 45 calories
• Boasts 4 grams of protein per serving
• Loaded with vitamin K, vitamin C, calcium, and manganese
• Major antioxidant
• Anti-cancer properties

All this, not to mention the classic benefits you get from eating cruciferous vegetables plus purple foods (anthocyanins--support heart and eye health) and green veggies (phytochemicals and carotenoids).   So next time you're in the produce section, give 'em a try!
