Equipment

  • electric mixer, vegetable peeler

Ingredients

Cookie Crumb Layer

  • 1 cup fine almond flour (3 oz.)
  • 2 Tbsp. salted butter
  • 1 Tbsp. brown erythritol blend

Toffee Layer

Banana Layer

Whipped Cream Topping

Instructions

  • Start with the cookie crumb layer by melting the butter in a medium nonstick skillet, over low heat. Add the almond flour and cook, stirring regularly until the flour starts to brown lightly and smell fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the brown erythritol blend over the almond flour and stir well. Transfer to a heatproof dish and set aside to cool.
  • When cool, place two Tbsp. of the crumb mixture on the bottom of six serving bowls or glasses.
  • To make the toffee, melt the butter over low heat, add the sweetener, and stir until dissolved.
  • Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the butter and whisk to combine. Heat until bubbles start to form at the edge of the pan. Stir again and remove from the heat.
  • Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the Chocolate Toffee Keto Chow until fully dissolved. The mixture will begin to thicken. While it’s still warm, pour 1/4 cup of the toffee over the crumb layer in each dish and gently smooth to even.
  • Place in the refrigerator to chill while you make the banana layer.
  • To make the banana layer, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, Banana Keto Chow, and powdered erythritol in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until the Keto Chow is fully dissolved and the mixture has increased in volume and holds stiff peaks.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the banana mixture over the toffee layer in each dish.
  • Make the whipped cream. Place the heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture holds stiff peaks.
  • Place two Tbsp. of the whipped cream on top of the banana layer in each cup.
  • Shave the edge of the piece of chocolate with a vegetable peeler or grater to make chocolate shavings.
  • Sprinkle about half a tsp. of the shavings over the whipped cream in each dish.
  • Chill parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Store the parfaits covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.

So glad I found this

Keto chow has been so helpful in getting me started on this journey. The sample pack with the blender bottle made it easy. All of the flavors have been very good, with the exception of vanilla. Sorry, y’all, that one was a miss for me. Ordering samples of other flavors and a big bag of chocolate and salted caramel now!

Jennifer E.
Yummy!

This is the fourth time I’ve ordered from keto chow. I love all the flavors I’ve tried and Snickerdoodle is definitely delicious. You’re my exclusive meal supplement supplier since my first order. I will definitely be ordering again.

Kari
Amazing

Love all these flavors except vanilla, (just personal preference not bad) for years i haven’t eaten breakfast for years now because never have time and always made me feel sick but since doing keto these are my go to every morning make it up in the night grab it in the morning and take it with me. They are filling and work great already placed a big order to get thru the month

Jason A.
JUST TRY IT

I was skeptical, given how awful most protein shakes still taste, even in 2020; however, Keto Chow is legit. I don’t like the vanilla, and the strawberry and chocolate are just OK, but the gourmet/exotic flavors are all really delicious. It feels more like a decadent treat/milkshake than nutrition, but I think that’s the point. Anyway, I’m a happy enthusiast now, so give it a shot and make sure you use the blender bottle, HWC, and enough water for it to taste right.

GC
Still the best

Other big brands are finally jumping on the Keto bandwagon. I’ve tried the Slim-Fast and others and they aren’t as tasty and lack the complete nutrition.

I have have been on Keto Chow before the subscription system and this is a great addition. It’s cheaper than Amazon especially with the new rewards points.

Keto Chow is still hands down the best.
My favorite flavors are snickerdoodle & chocolate. I tried strawberry & banana so I could make a variety of flavor mixes but for my palette (which is admittedly terrible) the flavors did not come through. So I’m going back to my old stand-by but I encourage you to try! I might be brave and try some hot flavors next!

Jonathan M.
Even better than expected!

If I am honest most keto substitutes are not as good as the non keto versions. That is NOT the case with KetoChow! I could honestly say that I would drink these even if I wasnt doing a keto diet. So far my favorites are the pumpkin spice, salted caramel, and chocolate toffee. I have read alot about putting them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight, but I really enjoy them right after making them. There is a little salty/sweet thing going on.

A+

KETO CHOW REVIEW

I liked it so much I bought the big bags of pumpkin spice and chocolate peanut butter and the essential minerals! I am a huge fan of Dr Berry, Neisha, and the two krazy ketos! This is one month for me with the keto carnivore lifestyle and I have lost 40lbs! Since I am recovering from leukemia it has helped me with energy and better immune system function. You are all good people and I hope I can continue to buy your products as I am on a fixed income. Thanks!

Lyndall L.
Absolutely the best meal shake!

I have tried the whole sample package and I was happy to drink all of the flavors. I have recommended them to all my friends. I started drinking them 2x a week as a supplemental meal on busy days. I now drink them EVERY morning because for keto they taste way better than boring ol’ eggs…again.?

Elizabeth M.
Pleasantly surprised

So I’ve been using other keto meal replacement shakes and they were not that great. I ordered these because I saw one of the commercials and thought hey a starter pack couldn’t hurt. These shakes are pretty awesome! My favorites are definitely the strawberry, chocolate, and cookies and cream. They legit taste like a milkshake and curb and cravings I have. Definitely recommend!

Caley C.
The best gift for friend!!

I have been using Keto chow and I love it!! I decided to make a gift to my friend!She loves it as much as I do❤??. Great gift idea!?

Monika S.
Definitely a win

I first ordered the starter pack and some extra samples. Some were very good, others not so much. You have to find the flavors that are right for you! My husband LOVES the eggnog. We ordered bulk bags of chocolate, strawberry, and cookies and cream. I drink one shake mid morning and I’m good til dinner. They make me feel pretty energized too. We will be using these from now on ??

Strawberry-Banana Smoothie Bowl

These smoothie bowls are a perfect warm-weather treat. Offer a selection of fresh or frozen berries, nuts, and seeds - even chocolate chips, and let kids dress up their own bowl however they like, for a fun family meal. To scoop out just the rich cream for this recipe, I place a can of coconut milk in the freezer for about ten minutes.

Blueberry-Banana Donut Muffins

Blueberry-Banana Donut Muffins

Blueberry muffins are back and better than ever! I love blueberry muffins but adding berries to low-carb baked goods can cause them to become soggy. I finally found a solution; a small number of freeze-dried berries add all the flavor and color of fresh berries but instead of adding more moisture to the mix, they actually help absorb moisture.

Keto Chow Flavor: Banana
Recipe Creator: Chef Taffiny Elrod
Servings: 6 donut muffins
Calories: 140.3kcal
Author: Taffiny Elrod

Equipment

  • 6 Silicone Donut Molds

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Oil the donut molds well and arrange them on a baking sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl, add the sour cream, melted butter, and erythritol and blend together.
  • Add the Keto Chow, coconut flour and baking soda and mix into the egg mixture. Stir in the freeze-dried blueberries.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared donut molds filling up the molds so that the batter lightly covers the center of donut mold. This will result in a muffin top when the donuts rise in the oven.
  • Bake until the donuts are golden-brown and spring back when lightly touched, about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer them to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
  • Serve warm or cold.

Notes

Baking these muffin/donut hybrids in donut molds helps them bake through faster and keep their crown. You can serve them toasted and buttered or topped with your favorite icing. If you have blueberry extract you can add a couple of drops to this and your muffins will smell like they’re fresh from your favorite bakery.
