Yum! 3 bags!

Bought 2 regular Strawberry & 1 Chocolate Peanut butter!
Strawberry is still my favorite but I am going to use the chocolate/peanutbutter to make one of the recipes they have on the website!
I’m horrible at eating breakfast and I really look forward to my shake in the morning to start me off right. ??‍?❤️

Brenda S.
Great go to!

I have tried several different flavors all have been tasty! I love having them on hand as a go to when I am in a hurry or don’t feel like cooking. I also use it as a fill in when I’m short on protein. My favorite is chocolate with fresh ground peanut butter blended in! It’s kind of like a treat. I do only use a quarter cup of cream though. Just a personal preference.

Great Product as always. This was my second purchase, and there will more. These shakes are great to help me get over that sugar craving and keep my plan in check.

Kevin M.
Great product

I’m not normally one who likes meal replacement shakes, but I love these. The flavors taste exactly as the name implies. The powder mixes well in the shaker bottle without leaving undisclosed clumps. I mix it with 4 oz of heavy cream and warm water, then refrigerate for a few hours. The sampler packs are a great way to try many of the flavors before committing to a single flavor bag. I also use the singles when traveling. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a delicious and convenient meal replacement

Beverly O.
Love It

I was so surprised at how fast my order came. I didn’t think I would like all the flavors in the sample pack but I did.? Try it, you’ll like it.?

Cheryl M.
Pleasantly surprised

I’ll admit I was lured in by the commercial, but the product was really good! It is as easy as the commercial says, it tastes good (the mocha flavor was a little heavy, but other flavors were great), and it keeps away hunger pangs. I love that I can order single serving packets to try other flavors too!

Monica W.
First time I’ve EVER liked a shake

I’ve never been a big fan of protein or meal replacement shakes — something about the whey taste is off putting. So my expectations weren’t high when I ordered the sampler ~ I expected just another shake that I could choke down if I were caught without anything for lunch or ran out of time in the morning. When I made the first keto chow shake, and refrigerated it as suggested in the vlog, I was FLOORED at how delicious it was! Better than a strawberry ice cream shake. I’ve since tried four other flavors, mixing with 5 tbsp cream for the fat (400 cal). Each one is better than the last. I haven’t worked up the courage to try with other fats yet, but might soon. Keto chow, you have a great product.
I track with the app Stupi Simple Keto, and I do wish it was easier to log the shake in…I’m going with the cream and the dry shake packet separately.

Elizabeth S.
LOVE Keto Chow!

Between the samples and the large 21 meal bags, my daughter and I have loved each flavor we have had. EVERY flavor is tasty. If you make it according to the directions and especially let it sit overnight, they are incredibly thick and creamy.

Kristen S.
Sampler package is amazing

With 18 flavors to choose from, the Starter Pkg. is fantastic. It gives you the opportunity to choose a favorite to purchase in bulk. The flavors are all amazing and very easy to enjoy. Plus every week there is a savings on bulk orders of a specific flavor. I have recommended Keto Chow to fellow followers of keto.

Sandy S.
Easy, convenient, and delicious!

I’ve known about Keto Chow for quite some time, but never took the steps to try it. Once I compared costs between what I was spending eating out throughout the month, it was cheaper and healthier to take the leap. My first purchase was Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Snickerdoodle has just the right level of sweetness and Chocolate Peanut Butter takes care of all of my sweet tooth battles. I just placed another order of Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cookies & Cream, and Chocolate Mint. A meal replacement that tastes this good and is keto friendly makes everything so much easier when you have a busy schedule.

Chey-Anne P
Excellent!

I love the base powder option! I like to switch up flavors quite often so a 21 day bag isn’t for me. The singles are nice but kind of pricey when your using 2 a day like I am. This is perfect for me! My only, tiny criticism is that the bag itself is hard to get my hand in & out of. I’m 5′ 3″ so my hands aren’t overly big, I can’t imagine what it’s like for the bigger guys. :) Maybe a bag that’s longer than it is tall? Either way, the base bag will stay stocked in my kitchen and served up as my work day brunch going forward.

Heidi H.
Fast shipping and great flavor.

I absolutely love the mocha and chocolate and strawberry keto chow. I add 8oz of black coffee to each. The mocha has caffeine added which also acts as a natural bronchodilator and helps with my asthma. I feel full most of the day with one drink, do make the night before though

?? Sample size of Chocolate Peanut Butter now available

Chocolate Peanut Butter sample after testing

Been wanting to try Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Chow but didn’t want to get a full 21-meal package? Today you can order the sample size! Note that the packaging is quite different: it may LOOK like a protein bar, it’s not =)

I honestly didn’t think this day would ever arrive. The last time we had samples of Chocolate Peanut Butter was version 2.0.0 (nearly 2 years ago) because the fat in the peanut flour would clog the packaging machine. The key to ultimate success was going BACK to the same style packaging we used so long ago but abandoned for the more “looks like a packet of protein powder” style we currently use. One of the reasons we switched to the other style packaging for the rest of the flavors is that this style causes a lot of confusion – people think it’s a protein bar and we will be getting that question again. I’ll take fielding those questions over the “why don’t you have Chocolate Peanut Butter samples?!!” questions we have gotten daily for the last 2 years (which is understandable – since it’s amazing!).

We will not be putting these into any of the bundles for a few months. This was done as a small run “proof of concept” to see if it would work (one of a half dozen such tests that were unsuccessful, until this one!) and we don’t have enough of them to put into the bundles. A larger quantity is in process but will take several months to arrive. I expect we will have sufficient quantity to put into the bundles by August or September 2020. Until then, they are available for purchase separately.

Great Taste! Dissolves Perfect!

I ordered the Sample Bundle. Mixed 4oz Heavy Whipping Cream and 14 oz cold water. Shook bottle, and placed overnight in fridge. Replaced my lunch.
Great taste, dissolved perfect, filling, was very good. After trying several flavors, I have now ordered larger bags. Now I am going to try the Keto Chow challenge I saw on You Tube. I am hoping this is a good kick start for a Keto lifestyle.

JJK
I Love KetoChow

The banana, chocolate and the snickerdoodle are my favorites! And I have been using keto chow for over a year about twice a day!
It has helped me lose 60+ pounds
Inform yourself about how keto works and you’ll do great too.

Josh G.
Best ever!!!!

I have tried many shakes and I love the Keto Chow. It fills me up and gives me energy. The flavors are awesome! Chocolate and Salted Caramel….YUMMMMM

Susan W.
Tried Starter kit.

It came very quickly and I like all of the flavors (except vanilla). Salted caramel and chocolate are the most delicious! I love that you can prepare it the night before and it keeps/puts your body right in ketosis.

Soni C.
Fantastic. No aftertaste, feel full, not hungry later.

Even the flavors I expected not to like are delicious. I haven’t had any trouble making them. Watch the videos, listen to people who have made it. No aftertaste, filling, clothes are getting looser, what’s not to love?!?

Robbie M.
great stuff!

with Keto Chow it’s easy to stay on the Ketogenic diet. It takes me ten minutes to make 3 meals for the day with KC. I can make 4 days worth of meals in 30 minutes. These are highly customizable meals, I can choose the fat source and the amount of fat calories I use per serving and I can add additional flavor if I want. If you’re just starting on the Keto diet there is no better way than KetoChow to get you started. Fast service and great people!

Shannon G.
Delicious and easy

Once I got the added fat of choice figured out, it was easy to get the shake made. It’s best to let chill for a few hours and it’s a nice thick drink, like a milkshake. Very filling and delicious! The Shaker is the best part, mixing everything and whipping it to the perfect consistency. Would love to see a variety pack with single serve pouches that way one is not stuck with a bag of one flavor, as variety is the spice of life.

Adam
Love Keto Chow in Mississippi

I love Keto Chow. So far I have loved every flavor I have tried. It’s very easy to make and convenient to use. Very rich and creamy. So far I have made it with heavy whipping cream. I like being able to control the amount of fat used. It keeps you full for several hours. Happy Mississippi girl.?

Tammy W.
So good

I was worried about ordering something from an ad on Facebook, especially after one previous bad experience. Thankfully these shakes are delicious! I’ve already placed additional orders; it’s surprisingly simple to prep 3 shakes in the evening for my meals the following day.

Nicole C.
Love it!! Tastes fabulous!!

Initially I Purchased the sample package. I really loved all the flavors. But the one I wanted to try most they don’t put in samples which was the chocolate peanut butter. So I ordered the large packet of that and it arrived yesterday. It is fantastic. Taste delicious and makes me feel full. Kudos for a great product!!

Christie C.
Great stuff! I want to lick the cup!

This product is much much better than I ever thought it could be. The sweet shakes taste amazing and do not trigger my cravings. Very filling too. I am hooked!

Jennifer W.
Awesome!!

Snickerdoodle is my fav of the few I ordered so far. Banana was ok. Today is orange cream.

I underestimated how full I would feel the first time I had it. I ate a snack with it because I’ve NEVER had a shake make me feel full. I’m always hungry after. Man, that snack was so unnecessary. I’ll be placing a bigger order once I try more of my sample flavors.

Keto Chow Chocolate 21 meal bags 10% off for 24 hours!

We were looking at inventory yesterday and decided that we had enough of the single flavor 21 meal bags of Chocolate on-hand to do a quick 24 hour sale. As the most popular flavor, it’s actually pretty difficult just to keep in stock so a sale on Chocolate doesn’t happen very often.If you’ve been wanting to stock up, you have until 9:15 am (mountain time zone) on Sunday, March 29 – the sale will automatically revert back to regular price at that point.

Normally, the single flavor 21 meal bags of Chocolate are $64.00, with the 10% discount it’s down to $57.60 – that’s $2.74 per shelf-stable meal! (it lasts up to 2 years, by the way, we even had it tested to verify).

If you decide you REALLY want to stock-up, we have some additional discounts that come into play: if you buy 4+ bags, you get an additional 5% off and that will generally qualify you for free ground shipping within the contiguous United States. Your purchase also qualifies for our rewards program and even our military/first responder discount program.

This is a VERY time limited offer so if you want to take advantage, please act fast. We will not be extending the sale if you miss it, sorry.

We WILL have another “flavor of the week” on sale on Monday, though – so look out for that too!

Flavor of the week: Get 10% off the Beef Soup Base Keto Chow bulk packs Mar 23-29

 

Until March 29 you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of the Beef Soup Base Keto Chow. Normally, the Beef Base is $66 for 21 meals, this week it’s discounted down to $59.40 – that’s only $2.83 a meal! Works well with just about every fat we’ve tried including butter, beef tallow, bacon grease, duck fat, heavy cream, avocado oil, and more! By the way, we call it a “soup base” because we’re anticipating that people will want to add other ingredients: cheese, ground beef, maybe some avocados.

The Beef Soup Base (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 Beef Base 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. Here are some of the recipes that use Beef Soup Base Keto Chow:

You should check out the reviews of Keto Chow, we also get a lot of reviews on our Facebook page and on the Keto Chow subreddit. It should be noted that we publish all of the reviews that come in – bad or good – as they are, typos intact. The only ones we remove are spam posts from people wanting you to buy pills to “enhance performance” and such or reviews that divulge personal information.

Best Shakes Ever!

100% best quality good KETO shake. I lost 3 pounds in 3 days using the sample bundle shake packets to replace 1 to 2 meals a day. Awesome taste, texture is smooth, and results speak for themselves! Love it! I ordered my favorite flavor ‘Salted Caramel’, and plan to order more! 5 Stars from me! -Diana in Jersey

Diana C.
Taste Great! Highly Recommend!

I’m glad they created the sample bundles, because it let’s me try each flavor without spending a lot of money on one I might not like. So far I really like the Strawberry and Salted Caramel. Most importantly they will fill you up. I’d recommend using heavy cream for the fat source.

Jessica
So delicious!

After losing a good amount of weight by just calorie counting, I decided to take my weight loss one step further and attempt Keto. I’ve never done it before and was a little intimidated, so when I found these shakes, I figured I would give them a try. Not only are they SUPER easy, but they taste absolutely amazing. So far the chocolate, mint, and snickerdoodle are my favorite! If you leave them in the fridge overnight, they get nice and thick and you feel like you’re drinking a milkshake. KetoChow has helped me to stay consistent and has taken all of the brain work out of it. Since ordering my sample pack, I’ve ordered two more times and don’t plan on stopping any time soon. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is even slightly interested – it’s definitely worth it!

Katie
Amazing and convenient

I’ve tried other protein shakes but these do not cause cramps,gas or bloating. Keto Chow has amazing flavors and satiate the appetite. On occasion I have a few nuts,just to crunch. I’m enjoying seeing pounds and fat melt away. I recommend this product. It’s not just a short term solution. I enjoy this product as a meal replacement and also weight loss tool. I have a starter kit at work and a bottle and large flavor bags at home. I feel so much better taking this product. Good luck on your weight reduction low carb journey.

Lisa M.
I love this so much!

I love this shake so much! I try to only drink it on the days I’m at work, but man I want one every day! I love almost all the flavors!

Skye C.
Delicious

I love these meal replacements. I make mine with heavy cream and I am full for 4-5 hours after drinking them. I use mine for breakfast and it is a great way to start my day. They are quick and easy to make in the morning or I can make them the night before and they are ready in the fridge for me to grab and go.I have tried 5 flavors so far and I love them all so far.

Tierney N.
This stuff is delicious

I was looking for a meal replacement for the days when I’m busy & I want to have something filling that’s not junk. I wasn’t expecting it to be so yummy. I’m a big fan of the sample packs because I didn’t get bored with just 1 flavor.
Great job. Keep it up. Your work is greatly appreciated.

Jeannine R.
Great product!

The flavor is amazing and the consistency turns out so creamy and delicious. I’m not a breakfast person so I need an easy keto meal that doesn’t need a whole lot of prep. I’m a loyal keto chow customer! I just wish the packaging was a tub instead of the bags it currently comes in.

Anisa B.
Love the choices

Not only did I get to choose which flavors I would like to purchase in bulk before committing, but I have also been able to experiment with the different fats used with the product. I’ve made my own 50/50, butter/heavy whipping cream with Snickerdoodle as my favorite meal.

Stacey G.
Pleasantly surprised

My husband & I have been trying various meal replacement shakes & Keto Chow is by far the best. It is thick, creamy, filling, and tastes delicious. No weird aftertaste. We actually placed a recurring order this week because we can see this being part of our long term fitness goals. If you look at the unit pricing, it nets out to be the best deal (it only seems like a high up front cost unless you count it as part of the grocery budget).

Heidi H.
Excellent Product

The chocolate tastes like pudding, especially when you use an ounce or two less of water! The mocha tastes as advertised ans could probably be made into a frappuccino like drink pretty easily. Staying on keto is a snap with these meal replacement. It almost feels like cheating with how much they taste like sweets.

Christina C.
I start everyday with Keto Chow

My favorites are Chocolate and Banana. I blend them with 2 ounces of heavy whipping cream and 16 ounces of cold water. I use a submersion blender to get a perfectly-blended, super-smooth, delicious shake every single. I tend to blend them the night before, which is more about having less to do first thing in the morning, though I have heard some people say it enhances the flavor. Hard to say, I guess…I think they taste great regardless. One shake in the morning sets me up for keto success and gets me through to a sensible lunch with no hunger pangs. Great stuff – I’d be lost without it.

Delicious

I make the Chocolate Keto Chow shake for Breakfast every morning and it keeps me full till Lunch Time. It’s so easy to make and bring to work with me.

Mary M.
Great Product

I absolutely loved this shake mix. I was initially expecting powder chunks as with all the shakes I have tried in the past but this recipe, mixed it perfectly! No chunks and GREAT flavor! Wish it wasn’t so expensive to continue to purchase.

Jack S.
Great tasting and easy meal replacement.

I love the convenience of this product and how easy it is to meet my macros. It was quick and easy to mix up and I was looking to get another sampler or larger package to have on hand. The downside though is the high price of the larger bags and the cost of shipping, this puts it out of my affordability as I am on a limited income.

Nora E.
Tasted Great!

I think that Keto Chow is delicious and I usually combine it with unsalted butter or heavy cream. I am still adjusting to it and I have some packets left so the jury is still out. My favorite flavors so far have been vanilla and strawberry.

Sara G.
Love me some KetoChow!

There’s nothing else out there on the market that so closely targets the keto eater with a whole meal replacement powder. Especially one that tastes this good!

Shane E.
Caramel = bulletproof heaven

Throw some in with your bulletproof/keto coffee, and thank the heavens for such a wonderful product.

Harley B.
Cant believe this product!

I was never a “shake” person, always liked to chew my calories. I tried Keto Chow and am now hooked. I just made up three shakes so they are lunch for the next three days. Also, waiting for my new supply to arrive. Thank you Keto Chow, keep up the good work.

Louise A.
I LOVE KETO CHOW!

Ordered Eggnog and I am now addicted to it… SO good! Creamy, subtle flavor that makes me crave it again and again… Lovely!!!

Kathryn W.
I Love The Keto Chow

Literally the best flavors I have ever had in a shake mix. The shakes make the keto lifestyle much simpler when you’re on the go. I make a couple, and store in the fridge during the week, for when times run short, or if even wanting a shake. I tell my friends about Keto Chow. Shipping is very fast, so it’s pretty predictable when it’s time to order your next supply, so you never run empty. I have just started the electrolyte drops, adding to my water. I have done the math, these will save me a lot of money, from buying other premade drinks from the retail stores.

Ray C.
Amazingly tasty stuff.

I haven’t had a chance to try all the flavors yet….but the strawberry,salted caramel and snickerdoodle where amazing. I actually ended up warming the snickerdoodle up and it tasted just like I was drinking a cookie. I can’t wait to order more and start my journey to a thinner healthier me. I have recommended your products to several friends and will continue to do so. Keep up the great work I can’t wait to try the rest of the flavors.

Andrew C.
Banana keto chow is the bomb!

I have this everyday for breakfast. I start looking forward to it about 8pm the night before. It’s so delicious and a great start to my day. After, I have a cup of coffee or two and then I go on to SLAY my day.

Rebekah V.
Best Ever!!!

I have ordered three times from Keto Chow and i am suprised on a daily basis at how great they taste. I usually order the sample packs for the variety (and they’re convenient when traveling) .
I have tried several different brands (available at grocery stores) and they can’t hold a candle to the taste and richness of the Keto Chow brand.

Keto Chow and COVID-19

We all understand that for many people, Keto Chow plays a significant role in their success on a ketogenic diet and is particularly vital in stressful times like this. Several customers of ours are nurses and doctors that really have no time for any other food right now and we are humbled to play a small part in helping them. We wanted to give everyone an update on how COVID-19 is impacting Keto Chow, so here you go! =)

Your ability to get Keto Chow

For many people, their primary concern is: “hey, can I still get my Keto Chow?” Currently, the answer to that is a resounding “Yes!” We have ample inventory of Keto Chow on-hand at our Draper Utah warehouse, with a good supply also dispatched out to Amazon fulfillment centers (and “grocery food” like Keto Chow is currently prioritized going into Amazon’s warehouses). Although you can buy Keto Chow on Amazon, it is far less expensive to get directly from us which also gives you the bulk discounts, loyalty program and other benefits that are not available on purchases through Amazon. We actually have enough inventory on-hand to last for several months even with a complete shutdown of our upstream production and we JUST got a new shipment of Chocolate, our most popular flavor. We’re doing exceptionally well in this regard.

Both carriers that we use (UPS and USPS) have indicated that they are still moving packages and are doing a great job handling the increased number of shipments. I haven’t seen statistics but I’m guessing it’s a lighter load than the week before Christmas.

We have an amazing team of people that are working at our Draper warehouse, shipping the orders, handling local customers that are picking up orders, and generally being awesome. The members of the Keto Chow team that can work outside the office are doing so to limit the exposure. If you call about an order or send us an email, we can help you out wherever we are.

Keto Chow – shelf stability, how long does it last?

As noted in a recent blog post, the shelf life of unopened Keto Chow is 2 years with no detectable change to the flavor or nutrition. Each package has a “best by” date printed on the package that lets you know how long it will last. We work hard to maximize the shelf life and cycle through the oldest product out first. The “Flavor of the week” program aids in this. If you have Keto Chow that’s past the “best by” date, you are still unlikely to notice any change; the main issue you might see is a slow degradation of certain vitamins that would make it unsuitable for ALL of your food for an extended period of time. In other words: don’t use ‘expired’ Keto Chow for 3 meals a day for weeks or months at a time with no other food; but using ‘expired’ Keto Chow for 1 or 2 meals a day is something that I have done in the past and will do in the future.

Mixing Keto Chow in difficult circumstances

By far, the easiest way to mix up Keto Chow is with heavy cream. It requires a simple shaker bottle and little else. Heavy cream is also somewhat readily available right now. Based on my own observations, it’s been difficult to find many everyday essentials but heavy cream has been in-stock at every grocery store I’ve been to this week.

Butter is more work to mix, but stores longer, is less expensive, has fewer carbs, and is delicious. I highly suggest you give it a shot if you can find butter. Personally, I use the cheapest salted (or unsalted but I like the salt) butter I can find. I don’t worry about grass-fed or anything else – you’re welcome to use that if you like the flavor more, but I haven’t seen compelling evidence of any metabolic advantage to grass-fed butter. You can also use the same method as butter to use other “hard” fats like coconut oil.

Avocado oil is a good choice if you have no access at all to refrigeration, I have a great write-up on my own experience using it while camping. Avocado oil is very shelf-stable and the sort of thing you could put in your basement with a bag of Keto Chow and rest assured that with some water, you’re set for days!

Powdered cream is also an option if you account for the particular issues it brings along: it’s shelf-stable but also costs more, is bulkier, has more carbs, and does not taste as good as liquid heavy cream.

Could I be infected by COVID-19 via a package?

The short answer is “probably not.” A NIH study found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus survives up to 24 hours on cardboard, which is shorter than the 2-3 days a typical package we ship takes. UPS simply says on their COVID-19 page that “The World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have stated that the likelihood of novel Coronavirus contaminating cardboard or other shipping containers is low.”

Live Stream recording from Mar 17, 2020

This entry is part 9 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

We talked about:

  • Natural Strawberry is 20% off this week – it’s the one flavor sweetened with Monk Fruit.
  • We have canceled our monthly meet up due to the COVID-19 precautions. Sadly we will not be having our Brazilian BBQ. But we will have it another time.
  • Should you be carb cycling on Keto? Some people *might* need it but we think most do not. Here is a clip of our friend and fitness trainer Bronson Dant who says you need to have a purpose and plan if you are going to carb cycle.
  • Holly and Steve from Keto Chow left today to pick up their daughter in North Dakota. Along the way, they’re doing small meetups. They have already stopped in Idaho Falls and Butte. Subsequent stops include Billings (Mar 18), Bismarck (Mar 18), Rapid City (Mar 20), and near Mt. Rushmore (Mar 20). More details in the Keto Chow Facebook Support Group and the Keto Chow Instagram account.
  • What fats can you use? Can you use Cream Cheese? Any that you can order online?
  • One thing that this Covid-19 virus has really got us thinking about is being prepared. Keto Chow has a 2-year shelf life, it is something you can have in your food storage for such an occasion. Fat is a little harder to keep on hand; avocado oil, coconut oil, lard, and tallow will keep for a long time – some work better for different flavors and some do not. Fat Works has different fats in cute jars for storage. You can keep butter in the freezer for a long time. Also, you can use a powdered cream; though it usually has more carbs, it is a good option to have in an emergency.
  • We have a giveaway going on right now with Choc Zero and Nush. It runs through Thursday so make sure and go to our Facebook page or Instagram and enter.
  • For Keto Salt Lake we are working with our venue and our speakers to find a new date for the conference. We will let you know our Keto Salt Lake plans on March 30th.
  • Can you make a bunch of shakes on Sunday (or whichever day) and do meal prep?
  • We are working on a new food pyramid for our Keto Chow shirts.
  • Think positive, during this time of trial for our world, don’t let yourself get derailed, keep calm and keto on. You have a superpower that is helping you get your health in check. It can keep you healthy if you keep it up.
  • Our kids have 41 classes, I think I may be busy helping them with their online homework tomorrow.
