Do you think Kale Chips still have a lot of nutrition?
I just made my first batch today using this recipe:

And they were sooo good I practically ate them all standing outside my dehydrator. I didn't know what to expect but they do taste like real potato chips (even better in my opinion). They shriveled down about more than half the size of the original leaf and were incredibly crunchy. I'm not sure if dehydrating the kale has a huge impact on enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Not that I'd completely replace dehydrated kale in my diet but was just wondering how good these really chips are

I have no idea how many of their nutrients they retain, but if they keep you from snacking on potato chips and anything else you might crave when you're having an urge for something crisp, then that's a good thing.
I'm a big believer in that's it far more important what you don't put in your body than what you do. If you're keeping the processed junk out, then you're way ahead of the curve.

Basically massaged kale salad is
A whole head of kale but into bite size pieces, in large bowl. I add either olive oil or macadamia nut oil, lemon juice, sea salt and hemp seeds....THEN i massage the kale for about 5 minutes. Yep, just get your hands right in there and massage away!!! As you massage, the kale sort of wilts down a bit. You can add anything you like to the salad. It is so good. Make sure you are in a happy place when massaging, it will show in the kale!!!

I am a huge fan of the kale chips! I make currently make three different flavors depending on my mood...italian, spicy italian, and roasted cheeze! Massaged kale salad is the best! I make a huge batch and it keeps so well for days. Then I just add whatever toppings to make a quick and easy salad that is different each day. Dulse is a great addition to kale salad, as well as avocado or olives. I always chant while I massage to infuse my salad with positive energy! I just finished a 48 day juice feast last week and will be making my first kale salad today! Sooooo excited!
