SUPER kale chips BOWL!

This quick, cheap, easy, and healthy snack will keep you coming back for more! It’s full of great flavor, fiber, and takes 20 minutes from start to finish.

NOTE: This snack’s earthy taste goes great with our Original Sweet Leaf Tea!

- Seasoned salt or sea salt

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 325º F

2. Wash kale in warm water and dry, preferably in a salad spinner

3. Tear kale into chip sized pieces from the stem and place in a large mixing bowl

4. Add olive oil to kale and mix by hand until all leaves have been coated

If you have been a fan of Sweet Leaf Tea for a while, keep up with us on the twitters, and the facebooks; then you know that we are long time supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Our Founder Clayton Christopher was a BIG for many many years and it began to engrain itself into the SLT DNA! After that we have sponsored events, and even more employees picked up littles to help shape them and their futures.

Friday, in true Sweet Leaf form, we donated 40+ Dell Laptops and desktops to BBBS! See the Press Release HERE.  We loaded up the Sweet Leaf Tea Sprinter Van, packed up the whole tea’m and hit the road with over $15,000 worth of computers, several cases of tea, and a huge smile on all of our faces!

These computers will go the kids and families in the Central Texas Area, and will be used for school, developmental skills, and extracurricular activities! Check out the photos of the tea’m hand delivering the computers to the Big Brothers Big Sisters Headquarters. How you enjoy scanning through them as much as we did giving them!

2012 is here and we couldn’t be more excited. It’s a time to put away the past and look to the future. Remember these Grannyisms for 2012, “Early bird gets the worm,” but “Don’t put the cart before the horse,” and “Everything in moderation, including moderation!” (#7)(#34)(#35). These will help guide you into the future with great success!

Speaking of fresh starts, one way Sweet Leaf Tea can help you with your “Fresh Starts” for 2012 is hidden in, or not hidden, in our Unsweet Lemon Lime tea!

0 calories —  0 sweetner  – hint of lemon and lime – Fresh brewed and great tasting! It’ll help you kick that high fructose corn syrup soda outta your hand and set you on the fresh and healthy track for 2012. Pick one up at your local Whole Foods Market!
