You will find a wide array of plant based ‘veggie’ snacks or chips on the shelves of most health food stores, but don’t be so sure what you’re eating actually contains any meaningful amount of vegetables. Many cheerfully claim to be made from ingredients like cruciferous or root vegetables, and while they may contain a small percentage of the veggie, in reality, they are overly processed with fillers and often covered in genetically modified or rancid oils. They might be an okay option to satisfy a craving, but not necessarily the best choice for the well being and health of you and your family.
But no need to worry, our Manna Munchies Kale Chips are a whole food, plant based chip without any added oil or sugar! They truly are a nutritious snack as nature intended. To create them we simply take organic and triple washed green curly kale leaves, coat them with a flavorful cashew sauce, and bake them at low temperatures to help retain all of the nutrients. All of our kale chips are vegan, gluten free, refined sugar free, and paleo friendly. Our Say ‘Cheese’ flavor is even an option for those whole follow a keto diet!
A serving of our kale chips contains over 100% of your daily requirement of Vitamin C and Vitamin A, over 10% of iron, and almost 10% of calcium! Kale is one of the richest sources of Vitamin K and has a good amount of antioxidants, B vitamins, and of course, fiber! The vitamins A and K in the kale chips are fat soluble, so pairing them with heart healthy cashew sauce makes it easier for the body to absorb all of the nutrients. All of our flavors also contain super food turmeric, which is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and has been proven in studies to help with many physical ailments such as joint pain, high cholesterol, heart health, resilience to stress, weight loss and metabolism, mood, digestion, and much more! This is due in large part to turmeric’s star ingredient, curcumin. We also add nutritional yeast to our kale chips for a plant based cheesy flavor. Nutritional yeast is an excellent source of protein (contains an average of 50% protein by weight), and is also a rich source of B-complex vitamins that are important for normal and healthy body functions. Vegans especially can benefit from this, since B 12 is typically missing from an exclusively plant based diet.
Why spend all your money on vitamins and supplements when you can reap all the nutrition from a tasty, plant based snack! Our kale chips are an easy way to get the nutrition from a large salad in just a couple servings. They are also great way to get kids to eat their greens and easy to stash away on the go or while traveling. They are so delicious we don’t think you’ll even miss the old stuff! But don’t take our word for it, you can purchase them at Whole Foods Market locations in the Midwest, Erewhon locations in California, and right here on our web store.
