1.    In a large bowl, combine nutritional yeast and honey. 

 

2.    Place the rest of the ingredients except the water in a blender

       and blend until smooth.  Add the water as needed to create a paste.

 

3.    Scrape contents of the blender into the bowl with the honey

       and nutritional yeast.  Mixture will thicken as honey and 

       nutritional yeast are incorporated.

 

4.    Wash kale three times and dry thoroughly.  Remove stems.

 

5.    Take kale leaves and liberally glaze mixture over them,

       making sure to reach the edges.  (Mixture will be thick)  Place kale leaves on food dehydrator trays.

 

6.    Set food dehydrator at 100 degrees (to maintain raw nutrients) and let dry until desired crispness is reached.

       

Leftover mixture makes a great dip for veggies and salads!
