About Chris

Chris Bair is a technology and computer geek. He became involved in the nutritionally complete "future foods" movement in January 2014, originally with a conventional recipe and later switching to a high fat, low carb "ketogenic" variant on October 2014. In January 2015 he created the recipe for Keto Chow and released it without restriction for anyone to use, at the same time he began mixing the recipe up for people that wanted a finished product and has seen steady growth in the business every month since.

Flavor of the week: Get 10% off the Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow 21 meal packs between Sept 23 – Sept 29

 

Until September 29 you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of the Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow. Normally, the Creamy Tomato Basil is $75 for 21 meals, this week it’s discounted down to $67.50 – that’s only $3.21 a meal! You know you want to find some low carb bread, make a grilled cheese sandwich and dip it in some of this. Go for it! Works well with just about every fat we’ve tried including butter, beef tallow, bacon grease, duck fat, heavy cream, avocado oil, and more! 

The Tomato Basil (and the other savory flavors) are NOT the same as the sweet flavors. If all you’ve had of Keto Chow so far are the sweet flavors, you might want to grab a sample before you buy the big bag. It should also be noted that the Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow is dairy free, has no sweetener, and is loaded with beef bone broth protein.

We sometimes get asked: “what can I do with Keto Chow besides make soup?” The best place to start is our Keto Chow Recipes page, though you can pretty much stop at the Chaffles recipe: Miriam has been making the Tomato Basil into Chaffles and loving it. Our kids like to use the chaffles made with the Tomato Basil as pizza crusts:

This is not a drill: Snickerdoodle 21 meal bulk bags are back in stock

Just in time for Friday fun: we just received the single-flavor 21 meal bulk bags of Snickerdoodle Keto Chow. Of note: this is the new v2.1.2 with the increased vitamin A and the return of “instantized” protein powder so you shouldn’t have problems with clumping when it’s mixed. OK, enough of that, go order yourself some Snickerdoodle and when it arrives you can use some to make a few of the recipes that call for it.

Printable sticker sheets for labeling your Keto Chow storage containers

OK, this is a weird one but whatever. Miriam has been putting our Keto Chow into some storage containers – others likely work just fine, these are the ones that fit how tall inside our cupboards are (and they fit 1.5 bags of Keto Chow).

 

Keto Chow Round LabelsWe wanted to create some labels that not only include the new flavors, but also include the weight for serving size for each flavor if you like to measure out your Keto Chow instead of scoop (it’s more accurate).

Keto Chow Round Labels

Stick these new labels on any type of container you prefer to store your Keto Chow in. Shown are some gallon containers found here, and an entire Bulk Meal Bag fits inside.

Printing options include using full page sticker sheets and cut around circles; printing on paper and taping over them; or we designed them to be printed on these AVERY Round Labels. Bonus, these labels are water resistant too.

WARNING: Most printers adjust “to fit” page in your printer dialog/setup, but you will need to override that and make sure you are printing at 100% scale or the labels will not print correctly on the avery labels.

Miriam’s Favorite Storage Containers:

Walmart has the lowest price on these types of storage containers and although the 18.5 cup size works best in the Bair’s home and holds a bag and a half. But most people find the 11.5 cup size fits better on most shelves and holds an entire 21 meal bag. You can also purchase the smaller size in a set of 4 to save a bit more money.

Keto Chow Chaffles (sweet or savory) Recipe

Chaffles are all the rage these days, and frankly: for good reason. They’re extremely easy to make, taste great, and really fill the need for waffles, buns, pizza crusts, and more. This super-simple, 3 ingredient recipe is something we’ve been cooking up around here and wanted to share with everyone. You can use any of the flavors of Keto Chow, here are some of our favorite uses:

  • Use eggnog, chocolate, banana, or any of the other sweet flavors to make an amazing waffle. Throw on some whipped cream and you’re all set!
  • Use the Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow to make pizza crusts
  • Use the Savory Chicken Soup to make a bun/roll for burgers or a grilled cheese sandwich
  • Use Spicy Taco Soup to make a soft taco shell

3 ingredient Keto Chow Chaffles (sweet or savory)

A "chaffle" is a waffle made with cheese and eggs, and around here we add one more ingredient: Keto Chow (OK, you can actually add additional ingredients like sugar-free chocolate chips but the core recipe is really simple =). We've tried these with just about every flavor of Keto Chow: the sweet flavors make great traditional waffles, the savory flavors make amazing buns, pizza crusts, and more!

    Making Chaffles - add cheese
  • Add Keto Chow.
    Making Chaffles - Add Keto Chow
  • Add other ingredients like chocolate chips if desired
  • Mix to get the clumps out
    Making Chaffles - Mix up the batter
  • Put a small amount of the mixture into the waffle maker, this will take a bit of practice to get right but it's around 2 tablespoons. You're only filling it maybe halfway.
    Making Chaffles - add batter to waffle iron

Notes

Nutrition calculated using Cron-o-meter with Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow - your ingredients might be different. You could make these on a larger waffle maker but it's more difficult to do and they just don't turn out as well. The Dash Mini Maker is frankly the best thing we have found - we own 4!

Eggnog FAQ by Southernbenz

I’ve never had eggnog. Will I like it?

It’s a thick, sweet, creamy and milky flavor- often with notes nutmeg and cinnamon.

Does it taste like eggnog?

It tastes reminiscent of non-alcoholic eggnog. It’s not 1:1 will your favorite name-brand eggnog, but there’s a good similarity. If you’re not an eggnog connoisseur, you’ll love it. If you are an eggnog connoisseur, you’ll still like it. I would recommend trying a sip as-is, and maybe adding 1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon.

Rum? Whiskey?

YES. Traditionally, eggnog is to be mixed with dark liquor. For Keto Chow Eggnog, I would recommend something on the heavier side such as Kraken or Captain Morgan Black.

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Keto Chow Information Videos

Miriam and Chris Bair from Keto Chow sit down to briefly talk about what Keto Chow is. It’s a meal replacement shake mix that’s designed to make getting the right nutrients on a ketogenic diet easy. Unlike many “meal” shakes you may have tried int he past, Keto Chow is an actual meal that completely replaces 1/3 of your daily food and gives you exactly what you need. It’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, protein, electrolytes, and more; but you get to choose the amount and the kind of fat that you want to add. This part lets you customize Keto Chow to fit your specific needs. Whether you need 1200 calories a day and prefer heavy cream, or you’re needing 2500 calories a day and like butter or coconut oil for your fat; Keto Chow lets you customize it to your needs.

2019 Complete Food Survey

This entry is part 35 of 35 in the series DIY Future Foods

Hey, do you enjoy the convenience that comes with getting 1/3 of your daily nutrition in every meal of Keto Chow? It’s what’s sometimes called a “Complete Food” (though I personally prefer “engineered staple food” but whatever =) – for the last several years there’s been a survey for people that use complete foods – you’re invited to participate in this year’s survey: https://completefoodsurvey.com/ – most complete foods aren’t ketogenic like Keto Chow but we have a huge userbase and tend to skew the results of the survey towards keto diets =)
