Raw Vegan "Beer and Cheddar" Kale Chips

Okay, okay. I am pushing the envelope here. There is no beer. There is no cheddar. And technically I don't think dehydrated kale even qualifies as a chip. But that isn't the point. The point is that you can give yourself healthy, pure, live ingredients in a way where you will not miss out on the flavors you crave.

I guess some may consider this a "man's kale chip", but I think I craved this one much more than my husband. The sharp, cheesy flavors are enough to make you forget you are eating your greens. You will  be warmly welcomed to any party with this treat, whether you are socializing with raw foodists, vegans, or meat eaters. Simply speaking, this recipe is the pub food of raw foods.

I am drooling just remembering these chips. Man, this is the hard part about food blogging...

1 bag of kale
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup hemp seeds
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons hemp or almond milk
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup sauerkraut juice
1/2 a red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons stoneground mustard
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
dash of smoked paprika
pink Himalayan salt to taste

Put kale in large bowl. Pour on olive oil and massage evenly until tender. Put all other ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour sauce mixture over kale and stir to evenly cover. Evenly place kale chips on dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for roughly 6 hours at 105 degrees. Serve and enjoy!
