Ketogenic Diet

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. These are just a few of the 150 real reviews we received in the last week

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Normally, the Root Beer Float is $66 for 21 meals, this week it’s discounted down to $52.80 – that’s only $2.51 a meal!  Check out the flavor reviews of Rootbeer Float.

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.
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.
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.
Caramel = bulletproof heaven

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

Harley B.
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.
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.

David K.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.

? Flavor of the week: Get 20% off the Natural Strawberry Keto Chow 21 meal packs Mar 16-19

 

Please note: due to high demand during this sale, we are currently sold out of Natural Strawberry! We are now offering 20% off of Root Beer Keto Chow until Sunday, March 22.

March 20, you can get 20% 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 $56.00 – that’s only $2.66 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:

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. These are just a few of the over 100 real reviews we received in the last week

It was pretty good. Mocha is the best flavor.

The vanilla tasted like white chocolate to me. (Not saying bad or good, but if you don’t like white chocolate, avoid the vanilla.) I liked the Mocha flavor more than the chocolate flavor. It had no after taste and the taste overall wasn’t overpowering. The others were okay. Not a fan of salted caramel. None of them were bad, I just prefer the mocha for the reasons I stated.

Julie S.
Serious Keto Nomaliciousness

I’m very think all I found a Keto shake that actually is amazing! Forget Slim Fast, forget Atkins, they don’t even hold a candle to these. I use heavy cream in mind and they keep me going for hours. Great job KC!

Shianne K.
Oh wow

I was not expecting how good KetoChow would be. Not only is the taste delicious, it is incredibly filling and energizing. One K-Chow gets me through my entire working day; one more serves as dinner; the third is a nice treat. And the feelings of sleepiness and sluggishness?—gone.

Also, it’s simple. I’m not a foodie, I don’t enjoy cooking, I’m busy; I’m prone to skip multiple meals in a week. With K-Chow, I make three bottles at night for the next day and that’s that. Perfection.

R. H.
Delicious

These shakes are the best I’ve ever tasted! I will be ordering a lot more.

Amy
BEST MEAL REPLACEMENT EVER!

Simple to use, no fillers, great tasting! Subtract the meal prep and add your own fat, couldn’t be simpler.

Geoff F.
Give me ALL THE CHOW

I have tried 6 flavors and I honestly can’t tell you which I love the most. I have even gotten creative and mixed flavors to create unique shakes. Strawberry and banana mixed is my husband’s fav.
I am on a chocolate toffee kick right now. I love everything about these shakes.

L. W.
Taste good and is filling

Actually enjoy drinking the keto chow good flavors helps keep you on track hopefully it works as well as it taste

Rick S.
Delish!!! So yummy

I have tried the chocolate shake and the tomato soup. (Not together). It’s thicker than I expected but is so good. I will be trying the mocha and the vanilla this week. The tomato soup has some interesting spices. Not sure what they are. But I was expecting it to not be very good and in fact it was quite good. It did take a lot of stirring and cooking to get it to the right consistency (15 minutes) before it seemed right.

Tara D.
Keto Chow is the BEST!!

Couldn’t love a product more. So versatile, much more than just a shake!

Emily S.
KETO CHOW ROCKS!!!

These shakes are amazing!!!!! I’ve had other shakes before but these take the cake!! Easy to make ahead of time which I love and stay on plan!! So glad I found you ❤️❤️

Kimberly K.
New chocolate is great!

It’s my wife’s favorite flavor now. Normally I don’t buy chocolate because I consider it to be too boring, but this stuff is actually really good. Eggnog is the other flavor that we tried for the first time this month and I’m really enjoying that too. Thanks Keto Chow!

Garrett
I love this stuff!

I make a shake the night before for my next day’s lunch. No more having to decide what to make, last minute shopping, or spending money on cruddy food. The flavors are amazing, and if you freeze the shake for a couple of hours before consuming, it tastes just like a milkshake. I could go on and on, but I will just say, buy some today- you won’t be sorry!

We talked about:

  • The Keto Chow flavor of the week is Tomato Basil. It’s 10% off until Monday morning.
  • Chocolate is back in stock, call off the mobs!
  • Our California meet up went really well. We met some awesome people and had some great discussions.
  • This week we are heading to Denver for Low Carb Denver – it runs March 12-15. They still have live stream access for sale if you can’t make it in person at https://lowcarbconferences.com/
  • Next week Holly and Steve of Keto Chow will be doing a road trip with small Keto meet-ups along the way. Stops will be in Idaho Falls (Mar 17), Butte (Mar 17), 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.
  • Why don’t we have smaller packages
  • What is the shelf-life of Keto Chow? We actually had laboratory testing done, and it has a “best by” date of 2 years from manufacturing, though it can last longer depending on the application. Makes it great for the zombie apocalypse.
  • Does 1 sample pack of keto chow = 1 scoop?
  • Using different fats, heavy cream vs butter vs avocado oil
  • What do you do if you get bits of solidified fat in your shake?

Results of accelerated 2 year shelf life testing (passed)

Several months ago, the place that packages our samples (and puts a “best before” date on the packages) asked us to get them a report to corroborate the 2-year shelf life claim. So I did. The results came back today. It was conducted as an accelerated test with high humidity and temperature. They checked for changes in the water activity, moisture; total bacteria, yeast, and mold populations. They also did an organoleptic to check that the color, texture, odor, and taste were unaffected – as a powder and mixed with water.

The short version is: they agree that a claim of a 2-year shelf life is acceptable for the product.

So what does that mean for you? The date we have stamped on the packages should represent the date it should last until with no discernable change in taste – and it’ll likely be absolutely fine even MUCH longer than that. The packaging we are using has an extremely good oxygen barrier and likely lasts a REALLY long time before you’re going to see any degradation in the flavor or the protein. You will, however, see degradation in many of the vitamins once you get really far out past the “best by” date. If you intend to use Keto Chow for ALL of your meals for several weeks, I would not recommend using “expired” product. If you’re using it once or twice a day, you are unlikely to experience adverse effects or deficiencies.

Planning on stocking up on some non-perishable food? Along with many of the suggestions you’ll find in a recent blog post by Dr. Adam Nally, he says:

… this has been a wonderful and needed addition to our food storage.  Simply adding water, avocado oil, butter or cream to the KetoChow powder creates and instant, and very healthy ketogenic meal

Apparently, you should also take up bow hunting.

Discussion: The water activities of the products are so low that they do not support the growth of microorganisms. However, the products are not sterile as some bacterial populations existed, possibly spore formers. For item 1, microbiological populations hovered around detection limits (100 CFU/g) for the course of the study with 1 container having a higher load (2,800 CFU/g on day 597). For item 2, microbiological populations mostly remained below detection limits. No yeast or molds were detected in either product. Overall, the data shows that microbiological populations are extremely low, and the products do not support the growth of microorganisms. The client states that the product should be refrigerated after mixing with water. [the testing lab] agrees with this precaution since the product would be capable of supporting microbiological growth after being added to water. Interestingly, moisture levels increased somewhat in both products [over the course of the test]. Water activity values fell slightly. There were no detectable declines of organoleptic quality observed over the course of the study. [the testing lab] feels the product remained unchanged over the course of the sutyd[sic].

*Recommended Shelf Life: Based upon the analytical and organoleptic data obtained over the course of this shelf life study, it is the opinion of [the testing lab] that a shelf life of 2 years is attainable and acceptable for the product analyzed herein.

? Flavor of the week: Get 10% off the Creamy Tomato Basil Keto Chow bulk packs March 9-15

 

Until March 15 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:

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. These are just a few of the dozens of real reviews we received in the last week

I can’t pick just one

Every flavor that I have ordered has been great. I can’t pick just one favorite. I order, and 2 days later they are at my house. Can’t say anything bad. I love the Facebook group and the Reddit group. You guys rock

Delicious!

I am usually not one to use shakes as meal replacements because I am always worried that I won’t feel full or will feel shaky and weak a few hours later, but these are really filling and satisfy me until my next meal. I am very happy with the flavors of Keto Chow that I have sampled. They all taste great and are not ‘chalky’. In fact, they remind me more of a milkshake. I recommend these to anyone who is thinking about trying them.

Easy to mix and tastes great

I mix it in my blender and weigh out the fats first makes it easy to mix. I gave it a 5 star because I will buy again but I wish they had more of the Monk fruit sweetened ones rather than sucralose so it was a clean keto. I make several days up in advance since the flavor is the best after 24 hours sitting. My favorite way to serve it is as a creamer in tea or coffee. It is very filling, and makes a great way to break a fast. One of my favorite things about it is you can pick your calorie intake for each based on the fats you add and the calculator they provide makes it easy to know exactly how much to add. I like that they have weekly specials and bulk specials.

Absolutely amazing

As a broke college student, it’s been a struggle to stay keto. They don’t always serve keto friendly foods in the cafeteria, and I don’t always have the money to go out and buy food. Keto chow is exactly what I was looking for. I wasn’t a fan of the mocha or vanilla flavors, but all the other flavors blew my mind. I expected them to be good, but they were way better than I imagined. Just purchased a full size bag of the snickerdoodle. Will be buying again.

New Keto Chow customer

Love this product not just the taste but how it keeps me full and satisfied. I was skeptical and I am not a shake lover. I have tried other brands and hated them but decided to give these a try since I am able to add my own fat and make it my own. It did not disappoint. One happy customer ???

Tastes Delicious

Great Product! It was delivered quickly and it was simple to figure out how to mix all the ingredients together. I got Vanilla and it tastes delicious.

Saves so much time!

I work in the Medical Field and I dont always get the most time for lunch. I make my shakes at the beginning of the week and it’s so easy to grab and go. Lunch is ready, all I do extra at work is add ice for a little razzle-dazzle. Its saved so much time with meal prepping, kept my energy up, and my carb count DOWN!! LOVE IT! I cant wait to order my next one!

Savory Chicken Keto Chow Review

I loved the Savory Chicken Flavor. I added shredded chicken and mushrooms to make a soup. I used some butter for the fat because we were traveling and it turned out great!

Karla D.
Great product

These MR shakes are great! I love the Chocolate Mint, Orange Cream, Root Beer Float, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. I have already reordered!
