And talking about potato chips, kale chips are another great alternative when you’re craving the munchies.

They contain even fewer calories than air-fried chickpeas. That’s because kale has very little calories.

In fact, one cup of chopped kale contains less than 34 calories. And it has tons of Vitamins A and C, which help boost your immunity.

These kale chips are crispy and delicious. And because they’re seasoned with sea salt and garlic powder, they have a salty, garlic flavor.

But if you don’t like that flavor, you can simply swap out the spices. For instance, if you like it spicy, you can use Sriracha and sea salt, and add a bit of maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.

Or you can use garam masala and coconut oil for some Indian flair.
