Looking for a way to pack some greens on your next trip?
Typically greens aren’t great trail food.
They’re perishable and they aren’t particularly calorie dense.
Kale chips wouldn’t spoil, but they’re also pretty fragile and would be crushed in a backpack.
The solution?

A.K.A. Kale mix
Make or buy kale chips.

Use them in this nacho flavored trail mix.
Voila!
