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.

This week we talked about


  • Tomato Basil 20% off this week until Monday.
  • Tomato Basil (along with Taco and Beef) use beef bone broth protein. If you’ve ever had bone broth, there is that same sort-of “burnt” flavor. Some people like it, some don’t.
  • We have a give away going on the Facebook page. Tell us what you like to add to your Keto Chow
  • Not too long ago we reworked our subscriptions, they’re easier to manage and are not 10% off every flavor, every day.
  • For fun, let’s review the FAQ on the Lemon Merengue! https://old.ketochow.xyz/2020/05/new-keto-chow-flavor-lemon-meringue/
  • We switched manufacturers of our vacuum insulated flasks, there are more colors and designs, and it’s available in 2 different sizes: 22oz and 32oz
  • Tara’s keto kitchen has a new cookbook coming out: “The Keto Cupcake Cookbook”
  • How do you add more protein to Keto Chow? Why might you need more protein?
  • Is there a way to make Chocolate Mint taste less minty?
  • Roadtripping with Keto Chow
  • What’s the difference between the different flavors of Keto Chow?
  • Remember that keto (using Keto Chow or not) is a “Way of Eating” and a lifestyle, not a quick fix.

Our Stance on Racism and Discrimination

Put simply: Racism and discrimination are deplorable. Diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and stroke do not care about skin, race, or belief; though there is often a disproportionate burden of disease on those most vulnerable. We should all strive against the generation and propagation, in any form, of unnecessary human suffering and pain.

It makes us sad to see evidence of racism or the blatant disregard for human life. The reality is that some deny others basic freedoms and respect because of the color of their skin or other personal characteristics that cannot be changed and are simply irrelevant. More than anything, we are especially saddened when these assaults on basic human dignity and respect lead to escalating violence and unrest, to the destruction of life and property.

All of us need to grow, within ourselves and our societies, simple respect for every human soul regardless of their color, beliefs, or cause. We need to build bridges of understanding and compassion, not walls of segregation. We must work together to engender mutual respect, peace, and an outpouring of love for everyone.

That’s the basic human rights side, what about the business side? Chris here. I think that no business should tell ME that they do not want to have me as a customer due to things like arbitrary pigmentation (that would be skin, eye, or other coloration), my political beliefs, how strongly my mass is attracted to the earth (also known as weight), how many children I may (or may not) have, my personal beliefs (or not) in a higher power, who I’m married to, where I live, where I was born, or anything else.

As a business owner, I work to extend that same courtesy and respect I wish for others to give me personally. I want everyone to be happy and succeed in becoming more healthy, and quite frankly I don’t really care if that includes using something we make or not; that is the reason we make all our information freely available to all, even the recipe for Keto Chow.

I care, we care, about people. We need to ensure that all are protected by justice and blessed with mercy.

? Flavor of the week: Get 20% off the Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow bulk packs June 8-14

 

Until June 8 you can get 20% 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 $60.00 – that’s only $2.86 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:
