For some reason I always seemed to consume more snacky types of food when I’m on holiday. It must be the season. My newest snacky snack is the raw flavored kale chips from Rhythm Chips.
The kale chips are air crisped at a low temperature so they’re nice and crunchy. Vegan and gluten-free too. Basically, it’s just kale flavored with a blend of fresh veggies, nuts, juices, herbs and spices.
I haven’t had nacho flavored chips in a long time, but the taste is very similar and it’s so much healthier. It’s amazing to have the nacho taste without the scary long list of chemical sounding ingredients and artificial flavors.
Unlike the extra long kale chips that are baked in an oven, these are much smaller as they have to fit in a bag. There’s some big chunks, pictured above, but at the bottom there’s also all the smaller broken-off pieces (good for sprinkling on other foods).
Besides the Zesty Nacho, there’s also Bombay Curry and Kool Ranch, neither which I’ve tried yet. Two servings in a 2 oz. bag, at 106 calories per serving. The sodium isn’t too bad, about 187mg per serving.
Available at Whole Foods, they retail for about $5.99. Kinda pricey, but there’s also a $2.00 off sticker right on the package which can be used immediately, bringing the price down to $3.99.
Those sound like a real treat! I’m still somewhat taken aback by the price, and just can’t bring myself to fork over so much money for crispy kale, but a girl can dream…
I haven’t seen these. They do look like a delicious treat, but I agree with Hannah that the price is pretty steep. Still … so tempting.
These look tasty! I have yet to try kale chips mainly because I am a chicken. I ahve to pluck up the nerve and do it, I am heading to whole foods next week…I really will this time.
Nice post!

Kale chips are one of my favourite snacks. I’m going to have to look out for these Zesty Nacho ones. They look yummy!
price is steep…but you also have to consider how much fresh kale it takes to get a bagful of dehydrated kale. alot ;) if you can get your hands on a dehydrator, kale chips are super easy to make. i havent experimented with coatings and seasonings (though have seen some using cashews or sunflower seeds), but a good basic recipe is just to mist them with or marinate them in olive oil and salt, or olive oil and salt and garlic, or some combination of these things plus nutritional yeast, or whatever, then dehydrate til crispy. you have to experiment with the amount of oil you use because if they absorb too much they end up too greasy. could probably do it superlow temp in an oven too but im not sure how much that would cost in electric/gas
I found a hair in the bag! I’m so upset! I will not buy them again.
