    If you cook Kale in the oven to make it into chips does it lose it's nutritional value?

    How is having a kale smoothie every night working for you? Its super nutritious. I tried the smoothie before for several days - just kale and 1 small apple and filtered water. I didn't add any sugar or sweeteners to the smoothie. It didn't taste too bad. But I gained weight even when I kept within my calorie limit. My sister-in-law had the same experience. Just wondering...

    Kale is not making you gain weight. Might want to recheck the rest of your food intake.

    It is SOOOOO delicious! My favorite way to cook is in 1 tsp extra virgin coconut oil and let it cook for about 10-12 mins on low-medium heat, covered. I use it as a base to my dinners and lunches and top it with chicken and feta cheese!

    ETA:: KALE IS BITTER! YES! IT'S TRUE! That's why you need to cook it. Include it sparingly in your salads and such. I agree it's too bitter for much more than that, uncooked!

    The stuff is AWESOME with feta!!

    wash and massage dinosaur kale.
    stack all the leaves up and roll them like a cigar.
    cut cut cut cut cut the whole cigar. (the leaves will now be in thin strands a la shredded lettuce)
    toss it in a bowl with pomegranate seeds, pepitas, finely shredded parmesan, diced apple, and a basic balsamic.
    GLORIOUS.
