Kale Chips (Dairy, Gluten and Refined Sugar Free)

I could go on and on about the benefits of kale.  It really is a super food, one of the best vegetables out there.  This dark green leafy vegetable is high in fibre, vitamin A and calcium.   It has one of the highest antioxidant levels, making it an excellent fighter against cancer.  Kale also works as a detoxifier, helping the body eliminate what it doesn't need.   
These chips are an wonderful way to enjoy this awesome vegetable.  They can be made in a dehydrator, keeping them raw or in your oven.
