If you're looking for a guilt-free snack eat kale chips. They are the ultimate in healthy indulgence. Crispy, sweet, slightly salty with organic, raw, minimal ingredients (gluten and soy free). It's a financial splurge worth making since making them at home requires a dehydrator (to do it right) and at least half a day of waiting for them to be done. There are a lot of kale chips on the market, and one of my favorite companies is Rhythm Superfoods. I interviewed the co-founder, Keith, at Expo West 2011 and he told me the story behind the products and his passion.
Rhythm makes a number of other products, including sweet potato chips that are another great snack at half the price of kale chips. Crunchy and sweet, they're a great alternative to regular potato chips. Keith is also behind the Baraka Bar and Daily Juice in Texas - he's certainly achieving his mission to bring raw food to the masses!
One point he made that was key is how heavily sprayed with pesticides non-organic kale is, so even if you don't buy kale chips make sure to buy fresh organic kale. It retails from $.99 - 2, averaging around $1.75 at natural markets in California.
Have you tried Rhythm Superfoods products, or visited Daily Juice? Tell me about your experience!

I will be trying these soon! I keep seeing them at my co-op but the price makes me wince a little. I understand they are totally worth it in terms of what you get compared to an average potato chip though.
Totally gonna try these! Really enjoyed the interview.
I totally just tried the kale chips this past week! They were so good I couldn't believe they were a health food--will be buying again:)
Thank you so much for this interview. I've tried a few of the flavors so far and they are not bad! I had been keeping a food diary and came to realize I was eating waaaaay more potato chips than I realized, about an extra 1000 calories a week totally devoid of nutrition. I wanted to cut them out entirely but realized that is easier said than done. These kale chips have replaced any need I had for convenient, tasty, salty snack. The most amazing part for me is not just that they helped me omit a negative thing from my diet, but they have been an amazing boost to it. Thanks again for showcasing this product!
