The 2B Mindset plan makes eating super simple. You will eat 3 filling meals every day following some simple guidelines. The first is to always drink water. The second is, follow the Plate It! Concept to help you stay on track. But you need something dippable or just easy to grab and eat. 2B Mindset allows for that too, and this easy to make Kale Chips recipe fits the bill as the best 2B Mindset snack!
Plate It! gives room for an optional snack between lunch and dinner so all you need is a great 2B Mindset kale chips recipe.
Snacking is permitted on the 2B Mindset plan, but be sure to have your water first! After that, the ideal ratio for your snack is at least 50% veggies, 25% protein and 25% fiber filled carbs (FFC’s).
The problem with kale chips you can buy at the local market is that they tend to add extra ingredients like fat and even sugar. But if you have an easy and delicious kale chips recipe on hand, you can be in control of what goes on your vegetables and into your body.
Dark green vegetables, like kale, are full of nutrients and considered a superfood for a reason. A homemade batch of kale chips, like these salt and pepper kale chips can contain under 200 calories in total.
This makes them a perfect clean-eating snack that helps you meet your 2B Mindset, “veggies most” rule. Serve them with your favorite 2B Mindset snack-friendly dips or just eat them on their own. They are really good for you and best of all, they taste great!
A few tips before you get started can help you make the best, crunchiest, tastiest kale chips ever! You may even get the non-veggie eaters in your house to eat them!
- First, be sure to wash your kale and then dry it thoroughly. If you try and cook wet Kale it will turn out soggy. I like to roll mine in a kitchen towel, gently, and then pat it dry.
- Second, don’t coat the kale with oil. Instead massage each leaf individually with oil. This will do two things. It will soften the kale leaves up just a little, and it will keep the kale from becoming saturated with oil and then turning out soggy.
- Last, be sure not to overlap the kale on your baking sheets. This will hold moisture in as the kale cooks and lead to, you guessed it, soggy kale.

Using Kitchen Shears, cut the kale off of the hard center stem. Then cut or tear the kale leaves into large “chips”. Be sure to leave them large since they will shrink a bit as they cook.
In a bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar.
With your hands, gently massage the oil and vinegar into each kale leaf. Then place them onto the lined baking sheets being careful not to overlap.
Sprinkle the kale chips with salt and pepper to taste.
