Dangerously Cheesy Kale Chips
There’s no way we were going to make a collection of recipes like this without including kale chips!
So here’s the thing, store-bought packets of kale chips tend to have great ingredients every time.
The problem is they can also be hideously expensive, especially if you’re addicted to them like I am!
Here you get to make what I honestly think is the best recipe I have ever seen.
Easy Cheesy Kale Chips
What puts a lot of people off about making their own kale chips is that most of us don’t have a dehydrator. So, what do you do?
Make your own simply using your oven! Along with the kale you need just four other ingredients. The instructions are extremely simple and easy to follow.
You’re looking at just 15 minutes prep time and 50 minutes in the oven. This is a big advantage of having a dehydrator that would take hours and hours.
Kale Falafel
I love falafel and even though the traditional recipe is simple, it is often fried and can be a little dry.
This dish takes care of both of those issues. Firstly, it is baked and secondly the kale, along with all the other wholesome ingredients, make this beautifully moist.
Serve as you would with a regular falafel or shape into burger patties and have a blast!
Brussel Sprouts Kale Salad with Sunflower Seeds
If you want super healthy, look no further.
Make no mistake, this isn’t just about greens and nothing else. The dressing is made with vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and just two other ingredients.
Not only is it delicious and I know you’ll be using it regularly, but it brings together everything in the salad beautifully.
Polenta Lasagna with Portabellas and Kale
Polenta is often used in Italian cooking. It is made from corn and has a very benign taste which lends itself perfectly to so many dishes.
You could also call this a sandwich that you eat with utensils! The filling is made from a hearty combination of mushrooms, kale and other wholesome ingredients.
The sauce is the star of the show bringing all the flavors together beautifully.
Kale Caesar Salad with Crispy Smoked Chickpeas
This makes for a great appetiser and an even better lunch!
The chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are prepared perfectly.
It’s very easy to make them go hard but follow the simple instructions and you’ll have chickpeas with a smoky flavor!
If this wasn’t enough, the vegan Caesar salad dressing comes along and steals the show!
Arugula and Kale Green Juice
Time to get your juicer out! If you don’t have one, I certainly recommend investing soon!
The only advice I’d give is to get a slow, masticating juicer as this will always yield more juice from your fruits and vegetables compared to a fast, centrifugal machine.
A simple and ultra-healthy green drink. You get the goodness from the kale and arugula, alkalizing volume from celery and fantastic flavors from two other ingredients.
Follow the simple instructions and you’ll have yourself a drink that is good for you and delicious. The perfect start to the day!
Tempeh and Kale Enchilada Casserole
One thing you may not have expected from a kale recipe, is a hearty and satisfying meal!
Here we have everything you could have wished for. The recipe has a Mexican twist and is full of protein from beans and tempeh.
Wholesome ingredients and a creamy sauce to die for!
Kale Spinach Smoothie
If you’ve never had a green drink before, this would be a great place to start. I know some people don’t care for green drinks too much and I get it. I used to be the same.
The secret to a great, healthy green drink is getting the right balance with sweetness. There are some hard-core green drinkers out there that don’t need anything sweet in their smoothie, I’m not one of them!
This recipe uses apple, banana and mixed berries to give you the perfect balance.
Kale Avo-Berry Smoothie
Not everyone has a juicer but most of us have a blender, this is where this recipe kicks in!
Grab your favorite plant-based milk, a cup of frozen blueberries and just a handful of ingredients. Blend everything together in a high-speed blender and enjoy!
One Pot Curried Spaghetti with Kale
This is where India meets Italy! Two of the world’s most delicious cuisines come together in this delicious and hearty recipe.
Other than the dish itself, the best part about this is how it’s made in just one pot!
The cleaning up afterwards is always on my mind and this keeps it to a minimum.
Incredible flavors including coconut and crunchy kale make this dish a hit.
Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese with Kale
This is the one you’ve been waiting for! Well, I have been anyway!
The sauce is made from nutritional yeast, coconut and more. It certainly delivers its cheesy obligation and at the same time is silky smooth.
You’re going to love it!

Tuscan Kale Soup
There are many variations of soup, even within Tuscany. Like the rest of Italy, each town within each region has its own interpretation on traditional recipes. You only have to travel a few miles to have something different. I love it!
Here we have a hearty soup full of different flavors and textures. It’s the type of dish that you will eat twice as much than you anticipated.

Creamy Kale Gratin

To be honest, I think it’s best served alone with your favorite crusty bread!
Creamy Kale Salad with Maple Tahini Dressing
A super healthy salad so versatile it will be the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
The tahini dressing includes a little maple syrup for that perfect balance of sweetness.
Add the sprouts, almonds and all the other ingredients together and you have a beautiful looking dish.
Everyday Kale Salad

Looking down the handful of ingredients you already know this is going to be the delicious.
Eat it on its own, as part of a wrap or however you choose. One things for sure, you’ll be making it again and again!
Lemony Kale Chickpea Avocado Salad
If you like zesty flavors, this salad was made for you!
Hearty avocados make this a salad far too good to be sitting on the side lines. Incredibly easy to make with everyday ingredients.
It’s also versatile so feel free to add whatever you fancy and make this your own!
Creamy Orzo with Caramelized Onions and Kale

Kale and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Quinoa, carrots, walnuts and onion are some of ingredients that make this a first-class meal. You’re only looking at 15 minutes prep time and then 45 minutes in the oven.
