Green No Carb Crisps
I’m following a low carb diet at the moment. I’m not allowed anything involving rice, pasta, potatoes, bread. I’m not allowed anything with sugar, and that includes fruit, unfortunately. I am allowed meat, nuts and plenty of green vegetables.
At first, I was grumpy and felt a bit run down, but I adjusted quickly and it’s made a big impact: I’ve lost fat and my energy levels are a lot better. One advantage of this diet is that it restricts you from snacking: there are just too many opportunities to eat badly at work: cakes abound, and I love crisps. Cutting out those unhealthy foods is undoubtedly part of the secret to the success of this nutrition plan.
We experimented with making healthier crisps of our own, using a popular recipe for vegetable chips made from cabbage. They’re absolutely delicious and they fill that crisp-shaped hole in my life.
Ingredients
- Big handfuls of savoy cabbage (kale is also good) – washed, pat dried and chopped into equal sized chips.

Method
