42 Days of Keto Chow – Day 25

This entry is part 25 of 44 in the series 42 days of Keto Chow Experiment

I recorded a podcast yesterday, won’t be out for a few weeks though. Today I’ve been working to get things lined up for Keto Chow 2.1 which is now even more imperative as Chocolate Peanut Butter and Cookies & Cream 2.0.2 are out of stock and won’t be resupplied until 2.1 comes out.

Availability of 2.0 Flavors and Keto Chow 2.1

Sad day – we have run out of the 21 meal “week” size of many of the flavors recently. That means it’s time for me to do a post to handle the “when is it coming back?!” questions – I get it, chocolate peanut butter is fantastic =) We do still have most of them in the sample size.

Short version: Chocolate 2.1 went on sale April 9, the other flavors will take a few weeks to start arriving (updated April 10)

Long version: All of the current supply of Keto Chow 2.0 represents what is left of Keto Chow 2.0.2 and once it’s out, it’s out until 2.1 comes. Here’s what’s going on:

  • Priority #1 is getting Chocolate (and Chocolate Peanut Butter by extension) completed.
  • Once Chocolate and PB are going, Priority #2 is mixing up sample batches for the other 16 flavors. The plan is to get that over to packaging and done so we can have the “Sample the NEW things” for the 10 new flavors (plus the 2.1 samples of the original 8 flavors) already available as the remaining large “week” bags are completed.
  • The Remaining flavors will come in over a month or so, several hundred units of each flavor at a time.

In case you’re wondering, here is the order we’re planning on for 2.1 production:

  1. Chocolate
  2. Chocolate Peanut Butter
  3. Cookies and Cream
  4. Strawberry (Sucralose)
  5. Salted Caramel
  6. Mocha
  7. Vanilla
  8. Banana
  9. Savory Chicken Soup
  10. Natural Strawberry (monk fruit)
  11. Rootbeer Float
  12. Orange Cream
  13. Eggnog
  14. Raspberry Cheesecake
  15. Snickerdoodle
  16. Pumpkin Spice Caramel
  17. Chocolate Toffee
  18. Chocolate Mint

Base Powder is going to be squeezed in there somewhere as space opens up. Samples for the 18 flavors are supposed mixed after Peanut Butter and packaged on a different line concurrent with the rest of the packaging. Dunno when that will arrive but it should be around the time we get Mocha or Banana.

A quick note about the lack of pre-order ability. We don’t do backorders or pre-orders. That’s somewhat for our own sanity but also to keep our payment processors happy. If we go longer than 30 days after taking money without shipping a product, they get rather upset. Do I think we’ll go longer than 30 days? No, but you never know with a new product line like this (see above =).

Besides that, pre-orders would be necessary only if we were getting in a limited quantity and you had to worry about not getting some. Going off past experience, when we get Chocolate, Peanut Butter, the Samples, and the rest of the flavors; we’ll be getting a massive quantity of each. Like 3-4 pallets worth of each. So there will be enough that pre-orders won’t be necessary.

If you’d like to know more about the upcoming version 2.1, check out the Keto Chow 2.1 information nexus where I’m posting updates and additional information. We also have the results of our 2.1 taste test extravaganza if you are interested.

42 Days of Keto Chow – Day 12, how I got started on nutritionally complete foods

This entry is part 12 of 44 in the series 42 days of Keto Chow Experiment

Day 12, ketones up slightly at 3.3 mmol/dL. The numbness from my molar crown wore off yesterday just in time for a dull ache to replace it. I doubt I could have chewed anything before this morning so I would have been doing 3 meals of Keto Chow yesterday anyway =) Late in the afternoon I noticed that the crown has a high spot in the middle so I’m going back to the dentist today to get that taken care of. Any weird “bathroom” issues I had at the beginning of the experiment are completely gone now, which is what I expected.

This morning I mixed up 80 meals of Keto Chow 2.1 to take me through a few weeks. Of note: I made 20 meals of the Savory Chicken Soup flavor, mostly so my wife could have some that wasn’t messed up. The coloring test ones we got kept coming with the sweetener in it, which makes for a really weird taste. Anyhow, that’s what I’m drinking for breakfast today. I put a bit of water into the bottle, added the fat, powder, then hot water and shook it up. Put in in my backpack for the 5 minute drive and it’s still nice and warm.

Availability of Cookies and Cream 2.0.2

Cookies and Cream was the very first flavor we got as part of the latest round of Keto Chow 2.0 – the final round before I would be doing Keto Chow 2.1. All was well and good for quite a while but it proved to be more popular than I had anticipated and we sold out of that batch a few weeks ago. Originally there wasn’t going to be any additional Cookies and Cream until 2.1 came but that is likely to be in another 6-8 weeks at the earliest =( The place that we’re using to manufacture Keto Chow had a few hundred bags left over so we asked them to make some additional Cookies and Cream (along with any of the other flavors they could) and we received a delivery of the “emergency” product today.

I’m working as hard as possible to make sure that we don’t run out of stock on 2.0 before we can restock 2.1 – that’s the goal. Ideally, we will get 2.1 coming in with enough 2.0 remaining to put up as the “Flavor of the week” sale for a while =)

And to avoid getting inundated with the obvious question =) 2.1 changes a few ingredients (whey protein > milk protein, magnesium citrate > magnesium malate, selenium sulfate > selenium chelate) but the big change will be additional flavors. 10 new flavors, to be exact, though I still haven’t revealed what they are going to be =)
