Organic Kale Variety Snacks by Veggie Evolution
Improving people’s lives, one organic veggie chip at a time!
When school is out for the summer, families schedules can change and there can be more idle time and less restrictions. If your child is used to getting specific healthy food options on a schedule at school, it can be easy to stray when school is out for the season! Luckily, there are many wonderful and delicious healthy snack foods on the market for those in-between meal-time munchies that parents can keep on hand and I love the Veggie Evolution fresh and certified organic kale chips that are tasty.

I was a late bloomer in the kale department but have easily caught up through ingesting as much of it as possible since I first tried this lovely vegetable. It wasn’t until I lived in Portland, OR in my young twenties that I even tried kale. Shock! I know! My friend worked in a health food store and brought home many foods to try at a discount price and the first time I had it, it was made in a kale and potato soup. It was pure heaven! Since that time, kale has become one of my favorite veggies and if I ever get an opportunity to get a treat from the salad bar at Whole Foods in Austin, I always get the kale salad. It’s crispy, fresh and earthy-tasting and the name actually derives from the word ‘cole’ or cabbage from the northern English and Scots dialects. I like it steamed, baked, boiled, sautéed and raw! It is actually a very easy thing to cook (much like cauliflower or cabbage) and has wonderful benefits from being high in fiber as well as its vitamin and mineral count.
Mmmm. Kale.
Kale also makes great snack chips when dried and baked. We have made our own kale chips at home by washing and drying the kale, coating with a bit of olive oil and spices and baking in the oven for about 20 minutes until the kale is a chip-like crunch consistency. It is a wonderful snack that is nutritious without the fat and calories of many savory and crunchy snack foods on the market.

Veggie Evolution’s Kale Crisps snacks are a delicious and easy way to get a healthy option at your local grocery store. Each serving contains 2 1/4 cups of RAW Kale. The crisps are air-crisped and all-organic, non-GMO as well as being gluten-free. The varieties go from the Almost Naked crisps to including chipotle for an extra kick. Want a great way to try all four Kale Crisps at a discounted price? Veggie Evolution has a Variety Snack pack that includes a bag of the Almost Naked, Lemon Parmesan, Chipotle, and Zen Nori.
Here’s the Breakdown of Each Kale Crisp flavor;
- Almost Naked – Besides kale, the main two ingredients of the Almost Naked crisps are olive oil and sea salt. This is kale chips at their finest!
- Lemon Parmesan – Made with lemon juice and fresh parmesan cheese and garlic, these kale chips have a wonderful savory taste that hits the spot.
- Chipotle – Raisins, tomatoes, garlic, sea salt and spices; the Chipotle kale crisps have a lot going on and it’s all tasty.
- Zen Nori – If you want to mix your kale snack with a bit of an Asian flair, the Zen Nori crisps have wakame seaweed air-crisped with the kale. This snack also contains tamari, which is like soy sauce only thicker and less salty. Yummmmm.
If your child (or you!) has never tried kale chips, I highly recommend giving Veggie Evolution a try. Both my girls love kale and will happily devour most recipes we make using it. They are both fans of the Veggie Evolution crisps, with Brie liking the Almost Naked variety the best and Brooke is partial to Lemon Parmesan. Bob and I are big fans of the Chipotle and Zen Nori Crisps, so a variety pack goes a long way for our family.
Have a Wonderful Summer and Stay Healthy!
