Live Stream recording from July 28, 2020

This entry is part 26 of 37 in the series Live Streams

Every week we do a live broadcast where we answer questions, talk about fun stuff, and more! Starting in January 2020, we switched to a new platform where we can broadcast to YouTube and Facebook at the same time. It’s pretty cool, actually. You can find the stream on YouTube or Facebook.

This week we talked about:

  • Mocha is 10% off this week until Monday
  • We have a new flavor we just launched yesterday: Pistachio! https://old.ketochow.xyz/2020/07/new-limited-edition-keto-chow-flavor-pistachio/
  • We do still have some Lemon Meringue packets left, but it is “leaping off the shelves” so if you want some, grab them quick.
  • We have decided to cancel Keto Salt Lake, we are truly sad about this. We have put a lot of love and hard work into this conference. If you have purchased a ticket, we sent out an email today with refund information. Thank you so much for your support and understanding about our conference.
  • Can you do Keto Chow, or keto in general, without a gallbladder?
  • Has anyone noticed a change in bowel movements with different fats added to keto chow?
  • How much of the OOO flavorings do you put into your keto chow. https://old.ketochow.xyz/our-favorite-things/
  • There was a discussion on the Keto Chow Facebook support group about an alternative for heavy cream. The ingredients were filtered water, coconut oil, sunflower oil, faba bean protein, guar gum, sunflower lecithin, natural flavor. Are these good ingredients?
  • How long will a mixed-up Keto Chow last in the fridge?

New Limited-Edition Keto Chow flavor: Pistachio!

Following on the amazing Lemon Meringue, we are pleased to introduce another new limited-edition flavor: Pistachio. It passed quality testing and is ready NOW for purchase. What’s the Pistachio like? If you’ve ever had the green pistachio flavored pudding or pistachio ice cream (that IS NOT Wasabi), that’s what you’re in for! If you mix it with heavy cream, you’ll get the more muted flavor with a lot of creaminess. If you opt to mix it with melted butter and warm water, the pistachio flavor comes through much stronger.

 

First things first: Pistachio is a LIMITED EDITION flavor. It is ONLY available in the individual sample size packet, and it’s a limited quantity. We will NOT be adding the Pistachio to the sample bundles and it cannot be purchased in the bulk bags. When we run out of the limited edition, that’s the end of it.

Each packet of Pistachio Keto Chow has a unique serial number on the back, just like we did with the Lemon Meringue. Why? Mostly because the company that does our packaging has the capability to do it, we thought it was cool, so we did it. “Collect them all” I suppose =) The first delivery we received is a bit random in the numbering so you may get numbers from the end of the run instead of the beginning. We’ll have that sorted out with people getting the low numbers soon (in case that matters to you).

Pistachio is also the second flavor to switch over to version 2.5.2 which brings with it the change to Real Salt. Real Salt tastes better than the regular salt we have been using in the past but costs a little more for us to use, we’re not charging any extra, you’re welcome! Real Salt is a tiny bit gritty, if you’ve used it in cooking you’ll notice that the added minerals mean you will occasionally get some stuff that doesn’t fully dissolve. This is normal but it should sink harmlessly to the bottom and you likely won’t even notice it.

This week we talked about:

  • Natural Strawberry is 10% off this week until Monday
  • We have a giveaway going on through Friday: Where will you drink your keto chow? Enter on our Facebook or Instagram pages.
  • Sadly, Salted Caramel is currently sold out – probably for another week or so. We are also sold out of our seasonal fall flavors: Pumpkin Spice Caramel, Eggnog, and the savory soups except for Beef Soup Base. There is a place on the website where you can sign up for an email when that particular flavor becomes available.
  • We just added 2 new colors of our 32 oz vacuum flasks
  • We have some good questions from the Keto Chow Facebook Support Group:
    • “I was told that net carbs are all I need to worry about, but now I’m being told I need to keep below 20 *TOTAL* carbs, which is correct?”
    • “How do I keep my butter from not solidifying?” We have found the trick to using butter in your KC shakes is that you need warm water and totally melted butter.
    • “Can you freeze Keto chow for later?”
    • “What is the 21-day challenge?”
    • “Are butter and avocado oil about the same nutrition-wise?” Some Keto Chow packages have butter on the label some have avocado oil.
    • “What does everyone put their free sticker on?”
    • “What is the difference between collagen peptides and our shakes?”

? Keto Chow Flavor of the week: Get 10% off the Natural Strawberry 21 meal packs July 20-26

 

Through July 26, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of the Natural Strawberry Keto Chow. Normally, the Natural Strawberry is $70 for 21 meals, this week it’s discounted down to $63.00 – that’s only $3.00 a meal! Check out the flavor reviews of Natural Strawberry. Natural Strawberry differs from most of the sweet flavors of Keto Chow in that we use Monk Fruit (a “natural” sweetener) to sweeten it. It’s a way for us to gauge the actual market for Keto Chow using something besides 0.08g of pure sucralose as the sweetener. It doesn’t taste exactly the same as the sucralose-sweetened Keto Chow, but it gives those that can’t have, or don’t like the idea of, sucralose an opportunity to use a convenient and customizable complete meal replacement.

We sometimes get asked: “what can I do with Keto Chow besides make shakes?” The best place to start is our Keto Chow Recipes page, here are some of the recipes that can use Natural Strawberry Keto Chow:

  • How do you eat your Keto Chow? Do you do 1, 2, or even 3 a day; has anyone done a 3 or 7-day keto chow reset?
  • We are doing a 72 hour fast this upcoming Sunday. We plan on starting at 5:00 pm mountain time if anyone wants to join us. We use the Life fasting app which you can find on https://old.ketochow.xyz/our-favorite-things/
