We all crave the salty, crispy, satisfying crunch of chips from time to time (or all the time), but devouring a bag of greasy potato chips leaves you feeling like a greasy potato chip. Today we’re bringing you a couple alternatives that pack in a lot more nutrition and flavor with a lot less guilt. Sorry potatoes, but you’re just not cutting it for us. Instead, we’re munching on zucchini and kale! Zucchini is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, manganese and magnesium, and also contains vitamin K, folate, potassium, phosphorus and copper. Zucchini also is a good source of carotenoids, which have been associated with lower risk of breast cancer. Kale contains isothiocyanates, which have been shown to lower risk of breast cancer. It is also a great source of fiber and antioxidants. A little easy prep and a short stint in the oven turn these veggies into a very tatsy, healthy alternative to potato chips.

Happy Munching!
