Kale chips are an easy-to-make snack that is very rich in antioxidants and vitamins, especially vitamin K, which helps to detoxify the body and promote general health. This snack is light, crunchy, and full of nutrients, and the hummus is an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber.

  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon
