Kale Chips

Ingredients

• 2 large bunches kale, stems and inner ribs removed
• 1 small lime, juiced
• 2 Tbsp. organic extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. almond butter
• 1 Tbsp. raw honey
• ½–1 tsp. crushed red chili flakes
• ½ tsp. Herbamare® or other organic spice blend

 
Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Note: Baking kale chips at any temperature over 250 degrees causes them to burn. It may take longer at a lower temp, but the flavor and crisp are worth it. Sanoviv prefers to use the dehydrator.
2. Cut kale into large pieces.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
4. Place the kale into a large bowl and toss with the mixture. Use your hands to gently massage the mixture in, coating each leaf. Use a large cookie sheet and distribute the kale evenly so they are in one layer. Bake for about 40 minutes, flipping the leaves every so often. You should only need to do this 2–3 times during cooking. Note: If they are not crisp and dry at the end of cooking time, put them back in the oven until they are crisp.
5. Allow to cool on the cookie sheets then transfer to a bowl to serve.

Chocolate Dipped Oranges

This recipe is super quick + decadently delicious!  It also happens to be a luxurious + healthy choice when it comes to sweet treats :)

RECIPE

• 1 CUP OF DARK CHOCOLATE (OR VEGAN CHOCOLATE) - CHIPS OR CHUNKS
   
• 1 TBSP OF COCONUT OIL
   
• ORANGE SEGMENTS, STRAWBERRIES, NUTS, BANANA SLICES, RICE CRACKERS ...or whatever you would like to dip!

Heat a pot of water on the stovetop and place a bowl in it.  Into the bowl place the chocolate and the coconut oil.  Stir often until fully melted.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (this is a MUST so all of your chocolate doesn't stick).

Using toothpicks, dip each item 1/2 way into your chocolate mixture and then place on cookie sheet.  Once you have filled the cookie sheet with your dipped items, place it in the freezer for 10 min to harden the chocolate coating.

Simply remove items from cookie sheet, arrange on a beautiful or fun plate and ENJOY!!
