    I never really have tried nutritional yeast but with the amount of micro nutririents present, seems really worth it.
    Also thank you for sharing the link to the kale chips recipe!! Will give it a try this weekend...

      You're welcome! Nutritional yeast has this nutty-cheesy flavor. Use just a little bit for added health benefits. 🙂
