Blueberries and Cream Kale Chips
Blueberries and Cream Kale Chips
Makes about 8 cups
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 2-4 hours, drained
1 1/2 cups finely shredded dried coconut
1 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp raw coconut nectar or raw agave nectar
2 cups fresh organic blueberries
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
filtered water
1 large bunch kale, washed and torn into bite sized pieces
2 cups sliced fresh organic blueberries
In a high speed blender or food processor, combine the cashews, coconut, sea salt, agave nectar, vanilla, and 2 cups berries in the food processor, and process until smooth. Add filtered water, a few Tbsp at a time until a smooth mixture a little thinner than nut butter consistency is formed. Place the kale in a large bowl, and pour theberry mixture over it. Add the remaining berries. Use hands to massage mixture into the kale, coating all the pieces entirely. Place the kale on 2 teflex lined dehydrator sheets, and dehydrate* for about 8-12 hours (overnight) until dry. Enjoy!
*If you do not own a dehydrator and raw is not a concern, you can bake them in a 200 degree oven for 4-6 hours on a lined baking sheet, or until dried.

I did read somewhere(blog) they sub Kale with Kailan or Gai Lan >> http://www.evergreenseeds.com/chinkalgail.html<br />do you think it taste the same as Kale? <br />p/s love all your gorgeous/delish recipe too bad most of the ingredients i can't get here.
I think you should try it! What have you got to lose? :) Thank you, I wish you could. I am sure you have many fruits there I would envy ;)!
What dehydrator do you recommend? I was thinking on buying a Excalibur but I am not sure which one. The one with 9 trays or the one with 5 trays. And stainless steel or not? I have read they make a lot of noise. What is your recommendation? Thanks, Irma
I use a 5 tray Excalibur. It is big enough for me. They are a bit noisy not not any louder than some ovens with fans. I strongly recommend getting one if you are serious about raw food :)!
Thank you for your reply!
