The worst way to keep your energy level up? Red Bulls and 5-hour Energy drinks. Caffeine will give you a jolt of energy, sure, but what if that energy could be embedded in you, rather than temporarily thrust upon you?  One of the best way to maintain long-lasting energy is: Turn to dark leafy greens. Greens give you all the vitamins and minerals you need to keep your body in tip top shape. The problem most of us have is that we don’t know how to get them in a quick and tasty way. Well, here is an awesome recipe for high energy using one of Spa Week Daily’s all-time favorite foods on earth: KALE.

We’ve given you our delicious, salty, crispy, satisfying, conversational Kale Chips recipe before (Wicked Chip of the West, meet your match!), now check out Kavita’s culture-inspired version, Curry Kale Chips:

Curry Kale Chips Recipe

- 1 to 2 bunches kale (make sure kale is dry for best results)
- olive oil
- sea salt
- pepper
- cayenne (if you want spicy)
- curry powder

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Remove the kale from the stalk, creating large pieces
- Place a little olive oil,  sea salt, pepper, curry powder, and cayenne on a baking sheet
- Put the kale on a baking sheet and toss it in the olive oil and spice mixture
- Bake for 10 minutes or until it starts to turn a bit brown
- Keep an eye on it as it can burn quickly
- Turn the kale over and bake with the other side up
- Remove and serve your healthy treat!
