I don't advocate snacking because I don't really feel the need for snacks on Paleo. But I don't know what else to call it. Anyway, Whole Foods sells Alive and Radiant Kale Krunch as well as Wonderfully Raw Brussel Bites. They are sooooooo delicious, low in calories, healthy, raw, vegan and paleo! I sometimes eat a bag for lunch! Emjoy :smile:

    I've had some Kale chips (dried not baked or fried) that were really good, which suprised me since I'm not a kale fan in general. I forget the brand but the biggest problem is they are $7.50 for a 100g bag so that's not something I'm going to go out of my way to buy a lot of.

    Oh my... I know, they are all very expensive that's the only problem. The two brands that I mentioned are almost 6 bucks a bag!!

    Oh come on... of course I know the golden rule 'Nothing out of a bag/package, box'. Obviously. I am just saying it's a nice choice, there is no real processing involved. If you have to resort to something quick. Jeez can anyone say anything here without someone sarcastically jumping on it? unreal!

    So how does it get crispy and how does it get into a package? Processing perhaps? Not sarcastic at all, just simply pointing out how silly the arbitrary paleo rules are and how it's adherents make exceptions for products they like to eat

    Fortunately for me I'm not Paleo, I just eat what I like. :D

    Thanks, I'm hungry now and my building is in lock down because of the shooting at the Parliament buildings (in Ottawa). :s

    I'm not paleo, but I do love these kinds of snacks. I've never heard of this product. Looks good, but gosh it's expensive. Just seem to be the way of it with these kinds of products. I bought some Brad's Vampire Killer kale chips a while back and they were soooo good, but the price is to much of a deterrent for me to buy them regularly.

    Yum, I like this too. I also like wrapping bacon around apple slices or asparagus

    IMO, some people need the title. They need to call their diet something. Perhaps the name gives the an identity or a purpose... I don't know. Wether it is vegan, vegetarian, paleo etc... to be able to say, "I am a (insert diet name)." It's seems silly to me because I do not need to call my diet anything... other then it's just what I eat.

    Turn oven on to 375. In ziploc baggie put oil, spices & kale. Toss around till turn dark green. Layout on oven safe wire rack ontop of cookie sheet. Turn off oven & place in oven. The heat will crisp them but not burn since off. Cheap, quick kale chips! Takes about 10-15 minutes. :)

    Yeah you can make kale chips at home for super cheap. I love them. Cumin, red pepper, garlic, salt and pepper is probably my favorite combo. My daughter likes them when I make them with powdered ranch dressing.

    What ratio of oil to kale?

    Im not paleo, just like kale ;) funny story...my daughter is being a cavewoman for Halloween. (6yrs old). She was concerned that the whole day she would need to eat her meat raw. Lmao! True right? How do we know exactly when fire was invented? Do you choose which generation of paleo you eat like? Confused.... :/

    Dont over think this. I put about 2tbs coconut oil and a whole bunch of kale. You want just enough to coat it, not leaving it oily. If you are a fan of cooking spray, you can just lay out kale, & spray, sprinkle with seasoning, & then put in oven. Even if you wanted to omit oil all together, just wet kale so seasoning sticks. It is really a throw together recipe. :)
