Cheezy Kale Chips
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews, soaked for a few hours
- 1 red bell pepper, de-seeded
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice, juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 3 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- ½ Tsp Salt
- Dash Black Pepper
- Optional: 1/2 Tsp of Agave
- Optional: Splash of water if mixture is too thick to blend
- 1 bunch kale, washed and trimmed
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients (other than kale) together in your Vita-Mix, blender, or food processor. (I processed my cashews for 30 secs alone, first but not necessary)
- Place kale in a large mixing bowl and pour sauce mixture over kale and massage it into the kale very well using your hands.
- Dehydrate for 4 to 8 hours, or until desired crispness is reached, flipping intermittently.
- Or, bake in a 200F oven (optionally keep with the door ajar) for about 3 hours, or until done and crispy, flipping intermittently.

Blend all these ingredients together in your Vita-Mix, Blendtec, or food processor. I processed my cashews for 30 secs alone, first. But not necessary.
After blending
Smooth consistency but not perfectly pureed is how I prefer it
Wash and de-stem one large bunch of kale and tear into pieces and pour the mixture on top
Massage in with your hands & Put on Teflex lined screens to Dehydrate
(last time I made them I didn’t have my Teflex screen liners and let’s just say the chip coating mixture leaked everywhere. Not so fun. I was way more prepared today!)
It’s unseasonably hot here today, like 100F. I don’t need a dehydrator, I could just put my kale chips on my back patio table and roll that way. Kidding, sort of.
But into the Magic Box they went.
It has been suggested to dehydrate at 105 F for 12 hours. I have a tendency to dehydrate a little warmer and for less amount of time, but that’s because I am impatient and want to start munchin’ my chips!
….After their time in the Magic Box, I finally got to enjoy!
Thin-n-crispyraw vegan kale chip
Some of them still have a lil of the chunky red pepper action going onbecause the coating mixture was smooth-ish but not totally pureed as I noted
And if they make it a container, you can put all your chippy’s into a reusable container or just devour 2 screens worth at once. I won’t tell. Promise. They are savory, cheesy, crunchy, and I totally wouldn’t blame you!
Love the new hair!!! Makes me want to go dye my hair again… I have not done that in a few years.:( I need to get one of those raw shirts! Our post tonight has a shout out to you and your coconut kefir.
Those coconut snowballs look MIGHTY tasty!! Oh I may need to try those out soon! Thanks for the great post! And love the daily yoga poses!
hey mama! so, i just caught up on your 3 posts i have been missing out on. first off i LOVE LOVE LOVE when random synchronicities happen. i think that is one of the greatest things in life. your license plate thing rules. my roomie's plate says "PJS" and we joke that if penelope jane was her dog then it would be the perfect license plate since my roomie's last name starts with an S. anyway, moving on! i love hummus recipes that don't call for tahini (it can often hurt my tongue for some reason) loved the side note about the evoo :P i love halloween! marsh and i are dressing up for a party on friday and then i am oging out with my friends on actual halloween. oh nice snowballs! i wish it would snow for real here. maybe if i made your balls it would encourage the snow to fall??? wow look at all that nut butter. nom nom nom. oh YAY you got your hair fixed to the way you want it. happy to hear, although i think you are beautiful in any shade! glad she is quick and cheap (TWHS!) such a cute photo of you and skylar in the mirror. hey, pro bars are from utah! holler! haha ummm was this comment long enough? i think not. a few more words: I LOVE YOU!
oh Averie! you smile brightens up my hair :) and I love the hair.. very natural you blonde bombshell!!
I am very curious about those probars.. espech the fruition ones.. so I can't wait to hear how you like 'em my foodie guru!
How do I ask for my money back? I don't.. bah! I'm so passive when it comes to things like that. Yeah, pretty sure I'm going to be demolished when I enter the *real world* ah, better enjoy my youth while I can!
Happy thursday angelface :) Love you!
GORGEOUS hair Averie! I've definitely had my share of not-so-great colorings, so I totally understand the value of a job well done. I think with coloring, often times the stylist will do her best, but it's the PRODUCTS and CUSTOMOER'S HAIR TYPE that really make or break a coloring. Although it makes a huge difference to go to someone who knows how to use her products and how to read your specific hair type. :)
Loving this mousse! What a perfect recipe for my new food processor. ;)
xxoo

THERE IS A KETTLE CORN PROBAR?!?!?!?! how did i not know this?
in more important news, your hair looks fabulous as does skylar's. and your vegan raw goods get me every single day.
have a good one girl :)
ahh funny you mention the hair saloon I went about 2 weeks ago, asked for color (to be darker) and she made it redder than I would have liked WAY too red. SHe knew I was not pleased and said for me to wash it myself a few days and if i wasnt pleased then go to back, and this is just what I did! for that kind of money, I am not just going to be unhappy!
you and skyler are too cute!! your hair looks great! love the highlights!
Pretty hair! I love it. I've never dyed my hair because it's so dark that I WOULD have to bleach it. It would be kind of fun to go blond, though…
You and Skylar are so cute!
That mousse! Those SNOWBALLS. Chocolate and coconut. Gotta have it! Right now, actually… going to go see what I can do!
I really, really wanted to make the chocolate snowballs yesterday, but Trader Joe's doesn't have coconut oil. I know you said I could do with out it, but you also said it is good for your immune system and that I need post marathon and swine flu!!! I just love your recipes Averie, I get so excited everyday when I take my lunch and see a new one!
That pudding looks soooo good. I'm hungry right now and that definitely DID NOT help! :P
Love the hair :)
Hooray for chocolate!
Ooo I love ProBars, but I haven;t tried their new fruition ones. Sound yummy!
I LOVE YOUR HAIR! That is so cool with the streaks and everything. I'd like to imagine you lounging around eating bon bon's all day lol. It seems so relaxing ;) Have a wonderful Thursday.
As far as getting my money back.. I just go in, and if they ask why then I'll honestly tell them what happened or why I'm not satisfied.
p.s. thank ya ma'am!
LOVE your hair!!
And thanks always for the fab recipes!!
I have been meaning to try avocados in a mousse like dessert. I'm glad you showed a picture because it looks too good to pass up!
If they don't give you your money back you can just remind them that you have plenty of friends to NOT recommend them too : )
Love the new do by the way : )
I wish I was more proactive about asking for refunds. Usually I just don't say anything!!
Hi Averie and thanks for the triple shout-out! It was great having you be a Guestie.
Gosh, bad service bad apples- it really depends. the Vons at the bottom of our road is GREAT about returning stuff that's bad. Other stuff is on a case-by-case basis. And you have to look at the big picture- how much money was spent, if I want to go there again, who I know there…I always feel bad even though I shouldn't. Silly huh!
