Written by Sondi Bruner from her west coast kitchen. Spinach, kale, arugula, dandelion, chard, collards, mizuna, sorrel. Spring has definitely sprung and these are just a few examples of dark leafy greens that are starting to pop up at farmers markets all around us. You might have already heard that greens are nutritional powerhouses, and here are a few reasons why we love them:

She’s back, love sweet lovers. She’s back. The Fab Detox is making it’s final Spring time appearance and we’re ready to coach you through. The Pre-registration has been all a buzz all weekend long and you have just one more day (today) to take advantage of the sweet bonuses that come with securing your spot early. Go get’er (then come back here!) Oh and for those of you kicking it in the Toronto area- we have a few spots left in this Saturday’s Detox Power Party workshop.

I thought all my dreams had come true when I got accepted as an intern here at Meghan Telpner Inc., but then came along the CNE program…
The Culinary Nutrition Expert program has given me all the tools, confidence, and inspiration I need to coach others on the wonders of whole foods, along with three capital letters on my resume so that people can now take me seriously. After all the research papers and meal plans (seriously, am I really not a nutritionist yet?), we finally got to the assignment we had all been anxiously waiting for: the presentation.
So, with my brand spankin’ new dehydrator in hand, I flew home to Ottawa for the weekend to present “Get Flexi With Lexi: Adopting A Flexitarian Lifestyle”.

Wasn’t I just as excited as could be when I got the email from the fine producers over at the Marilyn Denis show asking if I would come in and make some healthy treats. Healthy treats are kind of my speciality.
Watch the show live streamed or check back after 1:00pm EST for the segment under the cooking category.
We threw a few ideas around and settled on my top two lovers:
Kale Chips and Raw Chocolate Clusters.
As generally healthy eating peeps (I give you the benefit of the doubt because you’re reading me), we are freaking ridiconculously crazified for kale chips. We really are.
We are all over these raw treats. Kale chips are awesome and we love the idea of drinking fresh veggie juices everyday and then taking all that pulp to make the most amazing raw crackers. Then, in our minds, we see ourselves munching on our home grown sprouts, while our liver sings us love songs and our intestines wave their celebratory fibre flags of victory.
Kale chips are kinda gearing towards the crack of healthy food addicts. Is that terribly un-PC to say? I’m over it. These crispy, crunchy, light and tasty flavour absorbers are just so gosh-darnitt delicious that when I started experimenting with them, well, I just couldn’t stop. You know how that song goes? Right? I believe I must use the stylings of Depeche Mode to truly describe how I feel…

Kale chips for healthy skin? Hey-ha-ha-hey now? That’s right my sista and brotha-friends. It’s all fine and nice to bathe in organ cleansing detox herbs, to soak in the goodness of coconut oil through the pours and bounce on a trampoline to shake and shimmy out the toxins. Let me tell you that no amount of bouncing, soaking or moisturizing is going to clean up your complexion if you’re still eating crappola.
Now, obviously in the tutorial coming out tomorrow, (Wahoozles once again!) I go into much more deets about the hair and skin feeding nutrients and foods we need but here is a little preview to tantalize your tastebuds and organs of elimination/detox pathways.
And now for way three I wanted to combine a few of my favourite snack foods. I love Nori, I love a warm cup of miso soup. I think anything with sesame seeds tastes great and tamari can give almost anything a little flair. Oh, and I love kale chips.
That is how I came up with Way Three of my Kale Chips Adventure. I like to call these Macro-Japan Kale Chips. Sea veggies, miso, sesame oil, tamari, sesame seeds- if those are macrobiotic friendly and traditional Japanese foods than… Than nothing, because they are and either way- I make up the rules here.

I have been totally obsessed with kale chips. It started up again after that event I went to a few weeks back and sampled some of the best Kale chips of my life. I have since been trying all kinds of different, delicious toppings and every single one has been a delicious hit. I have realized that you can pretty much put any thing on these awesome, dry them out and voila- you have the perfect crunchy delicious and oh so healthy substitute for chips.
So consider this Way Two of Kale Chips 5 Ways. You can find Way One here and the rest will be following over the coming weeks. To tantalize your taste buds- we’ve got an Asian Macrobiotic Sesame chip, A Sour Cream and Onion (with neither sour cream, nor onion) and a Spicey Nacho Cheese (again- no nachos or cheese). And wow are they all fantastic and if you are free this Sunday, you can sample one of the many awesome varieties I have been coming up.
