This Sesame Kale Salad is so rich in calcium that it has more per serving than one cup of 2% milk. In fact, serving for serving, nutritionally, this recipe blows milk out of the … out of its carton. Visit www.meamoeba.com for the nutrient breakdown.

And this recipe is almost as easy to prepare as pouring a glass of milk. Got Sesame-Kale-Salad?

What I started doing was eliminating the liquid aspect of the Phil's Ultimate Breakfast and replacing it with a green smoothie, which gave me a cross between a smoothie and a chunky, therefore we have a SCHMUNCKIE! The green smoothie itself has become known as a SCHMUNCKIE in our house.

I will post the Phil's Ultimate Breakfast recipe too

For those of you not familiar with kale chips – welcome to vegan nirvana. Raw foodists, vegans, health nuts, or those in “the green know” chow down happily on a handful of fresh kale chips as a green, nutritious alternative to conventional potato chips. They are not fried or baked; free from all of the carcinogens, additives and preservatives that plague most shriveled potato chip packets; they are dehydrated, which preserves all of their natural enzymes and nutrients; and most importantly, they are absolutely scrumptious. I promise you – these kale chips are to die for! Or at least that is what I have been told by the hoards of happy piggies that have desperately returned to this trough snorting for more.

I thought it was appropriate that I post these kale chips today as a great way to utilize basic cashew cheese which serves as the perfect rub in this green merger. Just throw everything in the food processor and massage with love into the kale. The secret to finishing this recipe off with that extra special touch? Tossing through the granulated garlic at the end. It just gives it a depth of flavor that is missing if you don’t finish it off this way. Don’t worry if you don’t have a dehydrator – you can slow cook kale chips in your oven on the very lowest setting for about 8-12 hours. Give these kale chips a go for your next snack attack – toxic treaters far and wide will be green with envy!

This green smoothie can help rehydrate you after a workout and feed your hungry muscles with some clean, highly digestible protein.

Kale is included in this recipe because it is considered (by some) to be the most nutrient dense dark green leafy vegetable. I consume kale very often for this reason.

I do rotate my greens as recommended, but I bring kale back into the mix rather quickly.

If you enjoy kale or want to start including it into your diet, consider this raw kale chip recipe (video). It is a delicious nutritious snack.

This nutrient dense post workout smoothie contains protein, healthy, complex carbohydrates, fiber, antioxidants, and essential fats. Enjoy!

This isn't my recipe, I had it at a raw foods restaurant a few years ago and fell in love. I have one every morning. It is a fantastic way to eat Kale or even collard greens which are amazing for you, and are more easily digestible in smoothie form. The Vitamin C in this really wakes you up too.
