We’re suckers for anything and everything kale – especially if the recipe can be executed with the greatest of ease! This “kale slice” by Our Body Book contributor Claire Power fits the bill perfectly, marrying our love of leafy greens with our desire to fool-proof our kitchen concoctions – throw everything into a cake tin, stick in the oven, and you’re good to go. In a season filled with jam-packed schedules, we’re more thankful than ever for no-brainer recipes like this one. Make this simple yet satisfying kale recipe (which reminds us of a clean green fritatta or quiche!) to jump-start your day with a protein-packed punch…
All hail to kale! Kale charged its way into the superfood spotlight and has now become a mainstay in salads, soups, smoothies, and even as chips. Today, we’re adding it to our frittatas, or in this case, as food and health blogger Claire Power of Power of Wellness calls it, the “Kale Slice.” This recipe is high in protein, fiber, good fats and nutrients. It is paleo, gluten free and dairy free, but you can add grated cheese if you wish.
