​​​Kale and Cheese Power Omelet

​Kale is a leafy giant that takes the term healthy seriously and the superstar in this Foxy Cuisine Original dish. Kale is packed with vitamin goodness. It’s also low in carbs, high in fiber, low in calories and even has protein. I am fond of eating raw Organic Baby Kale. But, I love it even more when it’s cooked inside one of my favorite recipes a cheese omelet. ALL HAIL KALE!
