Nutritional value (per serving): Calories 188; Protein 2g; Carbohydrates 5g; Fat 19g

» 1 bunch kale or collard greens, organic if possible
» 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
» 1–2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
» 1 Tbsp dulse flakes
» ¼ tsp sea salt
» 1/8 tsp black pepper

TO PREPARE
Remove stalks from the kale and discard. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place in a steamer. Steam for about three minutes or until the leaves are bright green. You can eat kale raw, but it is easier to digest if cooked a bit first.

Drain the kale and set aside in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss, coating the leaves. Sprinkle sesame seeds, dulse, salt and pepper over the kale. Serve as a side or on its own for a boost of green power.
