Flavor of the Week Jan 14-Jan 20: 10% off sale on Vanilla 21 meal packs

For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Vanilla Keto Chow. Vanilla is a really versatile flavor and lends itself to all kinds of hacking and tomfoolery =) A few months ago, in a thread in the KetoChow subreddit, we had a bit of awesomeness from MrCharismatist about Vanilla:

What’ll really blow your mind is that all you need is Vanilla and some bottles of Torani sugar free syrup.

Vanilla + Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough syrup is fantastic.

Vanilla + Orange tastes strangely like Froot Loops in a good way.

Vanilla + Red Raspberry is dead on “Red Snow Cone”.

As to Chicken Soup, there’s no need to overthink it and boil water in a kettle to a certain temp. As long as it’s still warm after you put cream or butter in it, it’s fine. My kitchen sink is shockingly hot and I just use it straight.

I’ve got six weeks of chocolate, sevenish of chicken Soup left. When I reorder it’s going to be all Vanilla and Chicken Soup.

To which LavernicaDeLuca replied:

Absolutely agree with the vanilla is all you need. It’s an amazing base for adding flavors. I love adding peanut butter to vanilla, it’s a dream come true for a peanut butter fanatic like me, I just use PB as the oil, it’s amazing. And of course, vanilla is great on its own too. It’s definitely my favorite KC.

There’s also this entire thread just about Vanilla Keto Chow and how versatile it is, give it a read. There’s even more fun, check out the flavor reviews of 2.1 Vanilla!

Speaking of reviews, you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:

I started keto about 3 weeks ago. I have been drinking a shake a day. It seems to keep me feel satisfied til my next meal, I especially like the thickness it has. It also satisfies my sweet tooth.

Here’s another, should be noted that I publish all of the reviews that come in – bad or good – as they are, typos intact. The only ones I remove are spam posts from people wanting you to buy pills to “enhance performance” and such.

First of all, it’s really delicious and I think the other reviews speak for that as well. I have been doing Keto for a year and needed to find something to help get me out of a stall and this was just what I needed. I replace one meal a day (I used the calorie calculator on the site to give me the ounces of heavy cream I would need). This is also perfect to curb that sweet craving. I can’t wait to some other flavors!

Flavor of the Week Jan 7-Jan 13: 10% off sale on Root Beer Float 21 meal packages

For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Root Beer Float. Really the only thing missing is the very slight hint of carbonation that’s left over after adding ice cream to root beer, other than that, it’s awfully close! Check out the flavor reviews of Root Beer Float! Or even better, see what people are saying about it on Reddit: Here and Here

Speaking of reviews, you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:

Got this one for my wife since I’m not a big root beer fan. She said it was awesome and that it’s “exactly like a root beer float with the ice cream melted”. Definitely worth a shot if you’re into Root Beer.

As a general review the samples came in the expected amount of time and were exactly as described. They were packed well with my normal order of larger bags.

Here’s another review, it should be noted that I publish all of the reviews that come in – bad or good – as they are, typos intact. The only ones I remove are spam posts from people wanting you to buy pills to “enhance performance” and such.

This is a great product if you want convenience on the keto diet. It mixes well, tastes great, and satisfies my craving for sweets without being super sweet.

2018 year in review, National Keto Day discount

In case you were unaware, January 5 is “National Keto Day.” Sure it’s a bit contrived and all but whatever! In celebration of National Keto Day, here’s a coupon for 5% off any single order: KetoDay2019 (only works once per person and expires tomorrow night, January 6 – midnight central time I think). Go eat some bacon and avocados today… unless you’re doing like I am and only eating Keto Chow for the next 96 days =)

2018 was an interesting year for all of us at Keto Chow.

More stuff happened, this is what I easily found by looking through my blog posts! I’m suspecting that 2019 will be just as exciting.

Flavor of the Week Dec 31-Jan 6: 10% off sale on Salted Caramel 21 meal packs

For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Salted Caramel. Check out the flavor reviews of Salted Caramel!

In case you missed the earlier posts, I’m going to be doing 100 days of straight Keto Chow starting on January 2. I also set up a DietBet challenge for anyone that needs a little motivation to achieve their own goals in 2019, it will run for 4 weeks and you still have time to join in and win some Keto Chow gift certificates. You aren’t required to do only Keto Chow for 3 meals a day like I’m going to be doing (nobody is going to come over and police you =) but if you’d like to, hey it’s an option! I’ll be posting daily here on the blog as well as doing daily video updates as well. Should be an interesting 14 weeks!

Anyhow, back to what’s on sale this week: speaking of reviews, you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:

Easy to shop. Received product in 2 days as promised. Starting tomorrow, Dec. 27th.

Here’s another review, it should be noted that I publish all of the reviews that come in – bad or good – as they are, typos intact. The only ones I remove are spam posts from people wanting you to buy pills to “enhance performance” and such:

The shake is great, but the ziplock closure on the bag is terrible. It makes it a huge pain to get the bag closed and moving it quite often opens the bag back up.

The bad zipper issue is caused by a batch of bags we got that, frankly, didn’t have the zipper we specified and said zipper isn’t designed for powder. There are 3 ways to deal with it:

  1. Take a toothpick and clean out the zipper.
  2. Use “flour and sugar” lidded storage containers – you can find these at your local stores or online.
  3. (my preferred solution) Give the zipper a few good flicks with your fingernail:

Order $100 and get ONE Keto Chow Blender Bottle for just $1 – new Keto Chow logo and shopping cart coming

We’re going to run this promo through the new year but we’re starting it now! If you order over $100, you can grab a Keto Chow Blender Bottle for $1. These aren’t the cheap knock-offs, they’re the real thing – we have several that we’ve been using since 2014 and they’re still as good as ever (although those ones didn’t have a Keto Chow logo on the side, mostly because that logo was designed in January 2015).

I don’t have a way for it to give you a free bottle for EACH $100, it’s one per order, sorry: platform limitations. Speaking of logos and platform limitations: We’re going to be doing some major changes around here in the coming month or so.

Change #1 is a new logo. As mentioned earlier, the current logo was designed in 2015. It consisted of Chris (that’s me) grabbing a bunch of design elements that had to do with weight loss, shakes, powder, and sciency stuff; picking a font, and Miriam put boxes around it. We have been working with an actual design company to get a brand new logo that better speaks to what Keto Chow is. We’re not quite ready to reveal it just yet, but it’s coming. That’s one of the reasons we are doing a sale on the Blender Bottles with the old logo, and we didn’t want to be “those guys” that don’t give you a heads-up beforehand. That’s lame.

Change #2 is a new shopping cart. The problems with the current platform have been an issue for some time. Especially problems with people not being able to check out and other availability problems. We are nearly finished getting the new shopping cart ready to go and are hoping to have it LIVE before the beginning of 2019. One caveat: instead of creating user accounts for everyone in the new shopping cart, we’re going to let it start fresh. You will be able to use social account to log in to the new system though. I’ll also keep the old cart running for a few months so you (and we) can refer back to it during the transition for order history and such.

Flavors of the Week Dec 24-30: 10% off sale on Eggnog *AND* Pumpkin Spice Caramel 21 meal packs

Normally we put one flavor up on sale, this week we decided to do 2: Eggnog and Pumpkin Spice Caramel. We have a bunch on hand (and don’t worry all you Eggnog feinds like me: these aren’t limited seasonal flavors!) and we wanted to get them to people before New Years (probably too late to get them by Christmas unless you live nearby our store in South Jordan, UT). For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of both Eggnog and Pumpkin Spice Caramel 2.1.  Check out the flavor reviews of 2.1 Eggnog and the reviews of Pumpkin Spice Caramel.

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 several that happen to use Pumpkin Spice Caramel or Eggnog as ingredients:

Speaking of reviews, you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:

Delicious and Filling. I was, like many others, surprised at how good these tasted. I used less heavy cream than listed on the nutrition label (as I’m a short female who needs fewer calories) and with some vigorous shaking they came out incredibly thick and creamy still. So happy that I found this product!

Here’s another review, it should be noted that I publish all of the reviews that come in – bad or good – as they are, typos intact. The only ones I remove are spam posts from people wanting you to buy pills to “enhance performance” and such. This particular review is by Jimmy Moore. He’s written a few books about Keto =)

Flavor of the Week Dec 17-23: 10% off sale on Natural Strawberry 2.1 week packs

For the next week, you can get 10% off the 21 meal “week” size of Natural Strawberry 2.1. We introduced the Natural Strawberry as a way to test out using monk fruit as a sweetener instead of sucralose. Occasionally we’ll get someone that likes the concept of Keto Chow but personally is avoiding certain sweeteners – this gives them the option of doing so. Monk Fruit does not taste the same as sucralose though; it’s far better than stevia in the taste testing we did, but it does only work with certain flavors and strawberry was a good fit. Check out the flavor reviews of 2.1 Natural Strawberry!

Speaking of reviews, you should check out our store reviews on Google, and the reviews of Keto Chow. Here’s a “taste”:

Great product! It is much easier to focus on tracking your total calories rather than painstakingly tracking macro and micronutrients. Keto Chow makes it easy to be a keto vegetarian by allowing you to ensure you’re receiving full protein and nutrient levels. The flavors that I have tried are phenomenal and I cannot wait to try more.

Here’s another review, it should be noted that I publish all of the reviews that come in – bad or good – as they are, typos intact. The only ones I remove are spam posts from people wanting you to buy pills to “enhance performance” and such.

Salted Caramel- Caramel full flavor with a hint of the salt giving it that Salted Carmel smooth flavor taste.

Cookies & Cream- This one taste like cookies and crème but it was not my favorite. My kids liked it, I so did not. The flavor and texture just didn’t seem to work for me. It has the traditional flavor of cookies and cream I just cant decide what it lacks as its not my favor flavor.

Banana- This is very much the rich taste of ripe bananas. If you don’t like bananas you won’t like this … luckily we did and it was a hit.

Mocha- This is super Yummy. I add heavy cream, water and iced plain coffee to mine and it make it even yummer.

Pumpkin Spice Caramel- This is a great treat. I was worried it be too strong like many Pumpkin Spice drinks can be and I was very surprised. It smooth, and flavorful but not over powering. The caramel mellows out the spice taste and make it a perfect balance of flavor. Also good with Coffee in it

Eggnog – Hands down my favorite!!!!!!!! I cannot tell you how perfect this taste to Egg Nog. I can’t have real Egg Nog and this is now my fav for the holidays and non-holidays (cause who needs the holidays to enjoy Egg Nog that’s this good. It smooth, taste just like Christmas egg nog with the egg nog flavor and hint of spice.

Snickerdoodle- For those that are fans of Snickerdoodle this drink compares quite well to the favor. Its smooth and rich full flavor make you think your eating Snickerdoodles.

Raspberry Cheesecake- This was good. I found it need a little more shaking it seemed then the others but its flavor is worth it. It taste like Raspberry with the cream cheese cake favor. I was impressed with just how close to the cheesecake raspberry favor it is.

Rootbeer Float- I am not a huge Rootbeer fan but my kids though this was epic and it became a battle of how many cups I could split this between. We will defiantly be buying more of this.

Savory Chicken Soup- The savory selection is a epic edition to this collection. I struggle with drink meals as it always feels like I am lacking real food. The chicken soup is perfect for the feel of a true meal. This taste like Chicken soup I had as a kid and is great on cold nights when you want a hot soup for dinner instead of a cold shake.

Natural Strawberry- I was impressed with this one as it really tasted like strawberry’s. I mean most strawberry flavored anything taste horrible and you get an artificial taste, This one taste like REAL strawberry.

Chocolate Mint- You know those mint cooks we try to mad dash and buy each year, well yup they hit it on the head that mint flavor is sitting right here in this drink. It’s a perfect chocolate drink flavor with that mint that you expect from the elegant cookies.

Chocolate Toffee- This one was ok. If you like Toffee this is a decent one to try.

Orange Cream- Ok who remembers orange creamcile flavor as a kid! Can we just say this is amazing? Like an orange two tone pop in a drink. I feel like I am drinking dessert not a meal it’s awesome.
