Kale chips make a perfect replacement for potato or corn chips when you are having a craving. One serving (2 cups/500 mL) of these crispy delights and you are consuming 300 mg of calcium, or the equivalent of a full cup (250 mL) of milk. Kale has lower levels of oxalic acid, allowing its calcium to be more bioavailable than spinach.
I made these on The Marilyn Denis Show on May 10, 2011. To watch the episode, click over the Marilyn's website and scroll forward to 4:50 on the timecode. . Ingredients:
'Cheese' Coating: 1 cup (250 mL) cashews, (soaked 2 hours) 1 cup (250 mL) sweet potato, grated 1 medium lemon, juiced (about 4 tbsp/60 mL) 2 tbsp (30 mL) nutritional yeast 1 tbsp (15 mL) honey 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) grey sea salt or pink rock salt 2 tbsp (30 mL) filtered water

I was wondering how many calories are in the 2 cups of chips?
It's about 80 calories. Enjoy!

Nice recipe! However, I'm curious as to how you derived only 80 calories in 2 cups of chips. I calculated that if this recipe makes 8 cups, then each cup would contain over 200 calories, what with the (8oz)nuts @ 160 calories per oz., and 8 oz. sweet potatoes @ 227 cal. That's already 188 calories. Have I calculated incorrectly? I hope so, because I really love this recipe.
Thank you so much for contacting me. It appears I made a mistake when speaking to Namrata's question about calories.
I meant 80 calories a cup not 80 calories for 2 cups!
Sorry for the confusion,
You may want to try carrots but I haven't done it myself. If you decided to try it, let me know how it turns out.
Cheers, Julie
Where can I get nutritional yeast? I have never heard of it. I have the quick rise at home- would that work? And should the cashews be roasted or raw?
Thanks!
You can buy nutritional yeast from a health food store but in many cases you can now get it from a regular grocery store. Look in the bulk section.
Cashews are best raw but you can use roasted in a pinch.
Cheers, Julie
Can you have seeds such as sesame? If so you could use tahini (sesame butter) instead but you would have to play with the quantity a bit. I have not made the recipe that way. Let me know if you try this and how it works out.
Cheers, Julie
Let me know if this recipe works for you.
You may want to try a high calorie cocoa recipe if you are loosing to much weight. My sister had this problem when training and had to increase her calorie load post workout.
Here is a vegetarian post workout snack:
Coco Nut Rolls
1/3 cup vegetarian protein powder of your choice
1/4 cup hazelnut butter
1 tbsp banana powder
4 medjool dates
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 tbsp raw cacao powder
Directions:
1. Combine protein powder, hazelnut butter and banana powder in small bowl until you make a consistent fudge-like texture.
2. Roll halved date inside the fudge until entirely covered, making a small roll.
3. Combine coconut and cacao on a plate, and roll the date fudge roll until fully covered.
Makes 8 rolls.
