Hey, Chris from Keto Chow here. First off I want to make sure that everyone knows that the first time we got to see this video was when it went public today - there was no editorial control or anything like that. We always hope that that's unnecessary and people will like it as much as we do. Now to my comments on the video =) Honestly, I like that Steve mixed some up and drank it immediately. It gives people a good point of reference to what it will taste like and such if they want to skip waiting. The salt and other minerals take at least 30 minutes to dissolve and until then the crystals will be VERY present and make it taste saltier than it is. Melted butter + warm water + blender = success =) Also, as noted by others, if you have one made with butter that has butter chunks (and you don't like that) microwave it and enjoy it warm! The Peaches & Cream has been one of our most divisive flavors! Many people like it, others think it smells like perfume AND THAT'S OK! We all have different tastes. Keto Chow makes good soft-serve ice cream, the water content makes it turn pretty solid if you try to harden it in the freezer, best to eat it right away. Girl Scout 'Thin Mint' was EXACTLY the flavor we were going for with the Chocolate Mint. The color is what you get when you add real cocoa powder to the green =) Regarding being really full when drinking them: sounds like you would prefer to use less heavy cream/butter/fat - one of the features of Keto Chow is that YOU can customize the type of fat and the AMOUNT of fat that suits your needs.
The fact that you are personally here commenting on your product speaks volumes to me. I'm not familiar with Keto Chow at all but Steve's review has me interested. Instead of meal replacement, are any of your products designed yet as a keto friendly protein shakes for a post workout routine? I lift weights three days a week and do HIIT two other days and beef broth is getting old as a post workout protein drink.
@@bluecollarwineguy4447 I know that Redmond has a Pre-workout but I don't know of any keto products that are specifically designed for post workout. I'm sure the protein in Keto Chow would work but I'm not sure if it would be specifically effective for post. The sweet flavors have whey and casein in the milk protein isolate and 3 of the savory flavors use beef bone broth protein along with beef protein. That brings up another non-Keto Chow Product: Equip makes beef protein powder that comes in Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry, it's not a meal like Keto Chow but it is a great way to get additional protein in.
For everyone who is telling me: "YOU GOTTA MELT THE BUTTER!!!", "You need to use a blender!", and "These are best overnight in the fridge", understand that in that first segment, we were trying these for the first time and for the most part following the instructions on the back of the pouch. We did melt the butter (just didn't use hot enough water). After those first 3 shakes, we had all of the above figured out.
My favorite flavors are snickerdoodle with whipping cream, raspberry cheesecake with the same fat. I make it up at night and drink it in the morning. Then I eat my BIG meal later in the day.
Melted butter, warm water, immersion blender and let it sit overnight. Perfect! Always overnight for best flavor and no grittiness, unless you want to drink it hot (think hot cocoa). Butter gives a more pronounced flavor, less carbs and is cheaper than cream. Snickerdoodle with butter gives it more of a cookie flavor. Heavy cream is best with fruity flavors, makes it tastes more like a melted milkshake and makes delicious ice cream! Little hack: add peanut butter powder or peppermint extract to chocolate instead of buying the specific flavors. Add a tsp of beef gelatin as you're making a shake with butter to get a pudding like consistency. Use coffee instead of water! Pumpkin caramel and toffee are amazing with it!
Thanks for doing this! My hubby is a throat cancer surviver, and he uses these because he just can't physically eat enough in a day. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing what you can do with the savory varieties, to give him more options. THANKS again
I have used KetoChow with both cream and butter. I prefer butter if I am drinking the chow but you need to change how you make it slightly. I melt the butter in a mixer cup and then add the powder and use water hot from the tap. I then blend with a stick blender and refrigerate at least 6 hours. The flavors blend much better using this method (at least to me). A lot of times I make the chow with heavy cream and almond milk and then put it in my ice cream maker. A lot of times I will also enhance the flavor with a few drops of some artificial sweetener and sometimes add some extras like Lilly's chocolate chips, unsweetened coconut, nuts, or maybe some flavor drops from One on One Flavors.
I am a Keto Chow fanatic and a monthly subscriber. I always do mine with either 2 TBSP butter and 1 TBSP Coconut oil, or 2 TBSP butter and 2 TBSP non-dairy heavy cream. Some flavors I throw in a TBSP of PB Fit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, etc. I leave them at least 1-2 days in the fridge before drinking and the flavor REALLY comes out. I never, ever use the full amount of whipping cream or butter as on the card, it makes it taste completely different in my opinion and not near as good.
Has using keto chow help you lose weight? I tried one pack during the first part of the morning and was full up until later that nite...I also tried one pack as pancakes which was kind of dry but okay and haven't used the others yet so that's why I was asking about the weight loss☺
We are so incredibly glad you like caramel macchiato! ❤️❤️❤️ We do enjoy using coffee as the liquid sometimes just to take it up a notch. ☕️ Thank you so much for your encouragement! ❤️❤️❤️
It was great to see your wife and son with you! I was so enticed, by y'alls reviews, I ordered a few of your "liked" flavors and a one pint Dash Ice Cream Maker!!
I've just found your channel. One of my subscribers recommend that I check out your content. This was a fantastic review thank you for being so thorough.
Follow directions, makes for a better experience, for sure. The satiety that you mention towards the end is noticeable. It doesn't shut off hunger quite like beef but it does a decent job.
I've been considering trying Keto Chow, so this review was right up my alley! I was especially interested in making ice cream with certain flavors. So, thank you so much!! I cannot wait for your videos using Keto Chow in some recipes! Loved the family in the tastings-can't wait for Courtney to get home so she can taste test again, as well! God bless ❤
I've been buying Keto Chow for years and I absolutely love it. I even have a couple of bags of their savory flavors. A Keto Chow shake for lunch every day really helped me keep my hunger (and calories) under control when I was starting out with keto. Whenever I start going back to the office again I'll definitely be doing Keto Chow for lunch because it's so convenient. FYI: I only ever use butter with the savory flavors because I heat those. For the sweet flavors I always use heavy cream and water, and always let the shake sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
I don't really understand the purpose of the savory soup mixes - I can use bone broth and spices. The sweet ones are awesome but I didn't care for the savory.
@@LS-sg8rb Well they're nutritionally complete once you add a fat source, you can literally live off of them. Bone broth is basically just protein and electrolytes. I use the savory flavors as a soup base most of the time but it's nice to know I'm getting all my essential vitamins and minerals too.
I’ve been drinking Keto Chow shakes for over a year. Mostly made with butter. I don’t think drinking butter is weird because butter is just cream with the carbs removed. I see in your comments you figured out some tips. One of the cool things about Keto Chow is you can tweak them by adding things like more spice and experimenting with alternate fats. It also makes a great ingredient just use like any protein powder. Their website has a good Chaffle recipe - you can use any flavor. The savory varieties make better chaffles than soup. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching it.
Steve, Steve! Just sitting here heartbroken. You don't like chocolate mint? Now I have to adjust my pretend friendship with you! All jokes aside, great review 😁
I am sooo glad you did this review!!! Over a year ago...yes over a year, I bought the varity pack, and then inspired by recipes & "extra purchase" savings, spent a bundle (moderation) well no ! Not even made one yet! I will now thanks to you❗😋🤗
Here is my favorite-for those that like Banana Cream Pie: cut 2-3 strawberries, put on bottom of bowl. Pour banana keto chow over berries, top with whipped cream and toasted slivered almonds. 1 shake makes about 3 of these treats, so I have 1a day for 3 days. YUM! ❤️💥❤️. Will try a couple new flavors thanks to your review. Appreciate this!
I guess I may be a lone dissenter (after all the comments I’ve read) but I just find it to be too expensive and have to respectively disagree that the price is comparable to eating a meal out. A Meal out to me means someone else prepares the meal and serves it etc.; me doing all the prep and serving just isn’t comparable. As always though, I’m happy to hear you give your true honest opinion and thoughts on products without following the crowd. For that reason I have a lot of respect for your integrity.
Steve I'm so glad and actually shocked when I read the title of your video. I was told about Keto Chow about a year and a half ago from my friend who is not on keto but she saw it on an ad or something and told me about it. I said Keto chow? Sounds like puppy chow what the heck is that? My friend was concerned for me because times that I'm not able to eat and I've been rushing like a maniac when I was dealing with my father. I never looked into it. I'm happy that you did this review. I actually really didn't know it was a meal replacement I thought it was just something. But now seeing you trying out the product itself I have more confidence to know this is something for me even though now I don't deal with my dad's stuff anymore. Terry made me laugh remind me of head bangers kitchen where he goes enough jibber jabber she just wanted to down that chocolate 😂🤣
I’m so glad you did a review on KetoChow. I was hesitant to try it (cost & sucralose) and now I’m hooked! After doing my research w/my health coach and watching their videos I secs to give it a try. I even feel it is safe enough to give to my kids (I need to keep KetoChow pudding stocked in the fridge at all times!) BONUS- they have an amazing community, along w/2KrazyKetos, that helps me stay on track both physically and emotionally. Chris & Miriam are always transparent and approachable about their product so you can ask them anything. I can’t wait ‘til you start coming up with recipes for all the fun flavors. 🤗
I just ordered, and got 10% off even the already reduced prices ... awesome savings on Starter Bundle - 6 meals plus a BlenderBottle × 1, originally around $44 and got it for $28.
Hi Teri! So cool that your family participates in these videos. ❤ Good point about the work situation towards the end. Starting a new job and I was wondering what to do about lunch. 🤷 Sometimes we forget about these diet tools.
@@SeriousKeto , Look at it this way - now, you got additional contents to work on 👍🏼! I’ve never looked them up until now! They seem to be from good folks! I can’t wait to try them. I’m looking forward to your ideas!
So glad you tried this! I’m a new convert! I love drinking my first meal! My husband has one or two a day (and I bought this for me)! I use 2 Tbsp butter (melted 😄) and 1 Tbsp heavy whipping cream blended with an immersion stick. Yes, the taste gets better the longer it sits in the fridge (up to a few days). Vanilla is bland. My favorites are regular strawberry, chocolate toffee, salted caramel, chocolate peanut butter, snickerdoodle and Carmel macchiato. Haven’t got to try many of the others. For those worried about sucralose it’s explained on their site. It’s pure sucralose, not Splenda which uses sucralose and other bulking materials like maltodextrin which we all know to stay away from. As you said, the amount used is so minuscule it really is not going to have much of an affect. It’s the cleanest ingredients that tastes amazing that I have been able to find. And yes, you can make it into ice cream, pudding, pancakes, etc. Keto on!!🤗
I make my Keto Chow with avocado oil, I think a blender is a must to get it really mixed. Holding in the refrigerator at least a day is also really needed.
I know you like to cook. Check out all the recipes on their website, some of them are amazing! And be sure when you use butter to melt it and use hot water to mix, and yes you should use a blender. We love pancakes made from it and ICE CREAM, a real treat. I mean come on a huge bowl of ice cream for dinner, what's to complain about?
I bought Keto Chow because of you, and I'm 20 pounds down in 4 weeks. Thank you, it's the only food for which I have ever noticed a marked and fast decrease in blood glucose (Dexcom continuous glucose monitor) after eating it. It's impressive. (Usually keto-friendly food still has a small bump, bc it's food ) Especially because Keto Chow is dang delicious!! My favorite is pistachio, which is exactly like my favorite pistachio pudding. I drink it with black tea (iced), Keto Chow, heavy cream, and my usual morning health shake (ground chia, ground flax, resistant starch, high flavanol chocolate). I used to hate my shake, honestly, but Keto Chow makes me love it now.
I was just about to type a solution for the butter chunks, but I see that other members beat me to that. Yes Caramel Macchiato is fabulous with coffee. My favorite way to have it is warm with butter. It makes a FANTASTIC icecream. I'm really looking forward to Joe and Rachel seeing this video. The fact that you and the wife clicked glasses made me smile. Fans of both channels will appreciate the "the dink". Thank you for reviewing these products Steve. I appreciate that you took the time and effort to do a fair and honest review. Toss a scoop of Perfect Keto Strawberry Collagen into your Peaches and Cream KC. I also toss a scoop of Cinnamon Toast PK into my Sniker Doodle to up the flavors.
watching while drinking my Carmel macchiato(made with some cold brew coffee) keto chow. i would go to there website and watch there video and get some tips. really a great product. and thre website has several recipes using keto chow that are not shakes.
Oh, I look forward to trying these out. I too am a foodie, but I'm also tired of being the daily cook for my family and I'm DYING for some relief from kitchen duty and your review got me excited to try many of these flavors! And relief will be so nice since basically cooking low carb means not using ANY shortcuts which gets old FAST. Now I have to decide if I want to order now or wait for you to review some savory products!
Hey Steve and Connor, thanks for taking a look at Keto Chow finally. I love food too but I'm also lazy so Keto Chow helps me stay the keto course more easily. When you try recipes I recommend you at least give the Keto Chow biscuits recipe with the savory chicken soup. I do find them to be a bit salty but they're quite good for a keto safe biscuit. Most people use the savory flavors as an ingredient but I also enjoy the savory flavors as a soup. I do add a few shakes of seasoned salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and a little hot sauce to up the flavors though. Without that the savory flavors are a bit bland IMHO. My favorite fat source is the butter and as others have told you, it really helps to start with hotter water so that the butter will stay melted until it is blended. I usually use 2 tablespoons per shake and it isn't too buttery to me. It also works best in the blender (or immersion blender) since that makes sure everything gets mixed really well. The butter is emulsified into the drink by the acacia gum so it shouldn't clump up in the fridge if it has been properly blended. One last point, I really appreciate Chris and Miriam as the owners of Keto Chow. Of course they want to make money but I really believe they want their customers to be successful on their keto journeys. There are a number of things they could do to make more money but they don't want to sacrifice their product quality to make more money. Their customer service has been very good as well in my experience. Overall just a top notch company that I'm happy to support.
Second the praise for Chris and Miriam, the owners (click Read More to find it). They are very responsible and friendly while focused on making the business go. The whole company is very responsive to customers and their website (revamped a while back) is very cheerful and well designed, to get you shopping. Keto Chow is a more flexible product than you might expect. There are lots of recipes on the site (not just mug cakes, either) if you don't want to use shakes for your keto trip. The ones I tried have been good but I think I prefer shakes. I just don't have the patience for cooking when I know I can be drinking it down pretty quick.
Thanks for trying the Keto Chow- I have been using it for a couple of months and I have to say they are spot on with the flavors. I don't do the vanilla alone, but have mixed it with other flavors to use up that bag. For flavors you don't like as much, making the scones recipe (under Raspberry Cheesecake) or pancakes or chaffles, you might like it that way. 2Krazyketos has lots of recipes and they did a pancake one everyone seems to love. With the butter you have to melt it first, and I mix the warm water with my sick blender before adding cold water, and let it sit overnight. No chunks that way. The shakes probably tasted more salty for Connor because he is not on keto. I loved how your wife's face lit up with the flavors she tried. The beef base makes a great cheeseburger soup and the drop biscuits using the savory chicken oh my. This is one of my favorite videos because I could hear the surprise and sometimes also joy in your voice. I have been on liquid/soft foods/no chewing for 2 weeks following oral surgery - this stuff has kept me from going off the deep end!
Thanks for the review. I’ve been interested in Keto Chow for a while but have been put off by the poor performance of other related products. I’m going to pull the trigger on a sample pack and give it a shot. I really appreciate the effort you put into your reviews.
Hey did you ever try the keto chow? I’ve been using it for over a year and it’s absolutely amazing as long as I make it and leave it over night. Plus all the hacks you can make with it as well.👍👍👍
Just ordered two starter packs so I can keep an extra mix bottle in the cleaning rotation. I have been hesitant to order from these guys before as I have been making a serious attempt at removing processed food from the diet. On the other hand after a year and a half of doing this I miss good favored treat kind of food so hopefully this will scratch that itch for me because the Costco Keto type treats are not doing it. I'm a total nut for ice cream so I am ready to give that a try and thanks for the review, I appreciate your straight forward opinions.
Thanks for review! Great job! Did it justice. You need to warm the liquid you use when using butter. Overnight is better and also using a blender of sort takes it to another level. I love Keto Chow. Yes, coffee with Caramel Macchiato is marvelous, but chocolate is my favorite!! I also love the KC Chaffles and the variety of other things can be made with the sweet and savory flavors. Thanks again!!
Great review(s), and good to see Connor and Terry again. I’m not one for liquid meal replacements either, but I’m a bit intrigued by some of the flavors- caramel macchiato being on the top of my list. Might break down and give them a try 😉
The caramel macchiato flavor is a very recent addition to their lineup and Keto Chow jumped in with the single serving pouches and 21-meal bags right from the start. Usually Keto Chow introduces new flavors only in single serving pouches at first to gauge the response but this time it was so well liked during testing that they knew it would sell well. I've tried all the flavors of Keto Chow and the caramel macchiato is my favorite!
Salted Caramel & Chocolate Toffee are may favorites. If you like Snickers then mix Salted Caramel w/Chocolate Peanut Butter-tastes like the candy bar! Sometimes I add in a scoop of Peanut Butter Perfect Keto.
I loved seeing your wife and son! I am glad Connor is well! Thank you for your dedicated work again! And Chris from Keto Chow, thanks so much for your products and additional info here!
I tried Keto Chow early on in my Keto journey and I found for me it does the job but I need something to chew. If I was doing a long drive it would be great to drink along the way.. 💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
I just got Keto Chow last week. I had a vendor fair on Sunday, to sell my creations. I knew the food there would not really be Keto friendly. I tried it with butter and it was pretty good, but because it was salted butter, it was a little on the salty side. I was full and only bought water from the food vendors. I will definitely be having this product again in the future.
Great video Steve. We have been using keto chow for some time now. For your viewers who don’t own an ice cream maker, may I refer them to 2 Krazi Ketos video using a “good” blender to make soft serve ice cream with keto chow. No freezer needed. We do this often with a Vitamix. It is a real treat! My oil of choice is avocado oil. I will also add a scoop of flavored collagen sometimes. Thanks for your great work!
I love making custard with the sweet Keto Chow flavors and the savory chicken makes amazing chaffles. I also make drop biscuits with savory chicken. I mix up the ingredients- chedder jalapeno, feta and chive, bacon, parmesan and garlic....you name it. They are so easy!! I used to use them as meal replacements but primarily use them for cooking now since I also enjoy eating versus a meal replacement shake. Their website has a ton of really good recipes.
I usually heat my almond milk a bit as well, just for blending purposes. Also, the butter goes great with flavors like chocolate peanut butter. Salted caramel, chocolate toffee… you get the idea. I use keto chow to make keto ice cream in my ice cream machine as well. Waaayyy more often than I drink it. It’s the BEST keto ice cream. I do add some sweetener and/or extracts for several of them. I also add some chocolate chips & chopped nuts to some of them on occasion to make a “rocky road”.
This is perfect for me... I only eat 2x a day, and now that I'm back to work I have to have something for myself and my mother to prepare and eat in 30 mintues during a break... this has been very stressful and given me heartburn trying to eat fast and get back to work... can't eat on the phone. I can make them in advance and have them ready for break time. Can't wait to try them.
I've found that the way I enjoy them the most is to mix a packet in a blender with water (about 2/3rds of a shaker bottle). Then I put it back in the shaker bottle and put it in the fridge overnight (this really brings out the flavor, makes it smoother, and lets the bubbles dissipate). Then I add heavy whipping cream until the shaker cup is almost full, shake it up, and serve.
I have used their stuff for a while on and off. I like it on occasion but my big problem, is I like my "meals" to consist of warm/hot food mostly and although these were a huge part of my 90lb weight loss, I can't do them every day anymore.
I’m not a fan of meal replacement drinks also ,I like to eat my meals but I purchased an ice cream maker to use the keto chow for that and for chaffles or pancakes,plan on ordering a list of them for summer time and since I live in Florida that’s pretty much all year long ,great video review
I preferred it made with avacado oil if I was just going to drink it ( always the next day and mixed with warm water ) Steve this stuff is so yummy in the ice cream maker( made with HWC )
Available in Canada too! Will you do a review of the savoury ones at all? Those look interesting as well!! …Raspberry cheesecake 😳😳😳 in ice cream form! oh my lol
The snickerdoodle flavor is my absolute favorite, followed by the caramel macchiato. I haven't had any for awhile, but I think I need to place an order.
You won't regret it. What's so good about it is how you can really tweak it to your personal likes. Not sweet enough? add some skinny syrup or sweetener to taste. Not enough spice? Add more cinnamon or pumpkin spice, etc. Want a stronger flavor? Add extract! Is it too thick or thin? Add more or less water. Switch up the liquid to compliment the chow flavor. Same with the fat sources. butter goes better with some flavors and heavy whipping cream for others. It definitely tastes better if it sits for several hours (or overnight) and depending on the fat source, it can be in the fridge for about 6 days and still be good. when using butter, always melt it and use a blender of some sort to get it all mixed in -- slightly warm water, as well, with the butter. It makes a huge difference. I've been drinking them for a few years and I don't think there's a flavor I don't like.
This is such a fun video, love the family interactions and the shirts :) I've been interested in trying Keto Chow. So glad you included the mint chocolate because that's probably my favorite ice cream flavor next to cookie n cream. I've made protein powder chaffles before, it would be interesting to see you do other food applications with it. :)
I absolutely love Keto Chow plus they are a great company! I use butter, melt it and use very warm water, mix with an immersion blender. If you leave it in the fridge for a day or two the flavor gets even better :) Steve - you have to try using coffee as the liquid for chocolate toffee, it is soooo good.
Melt butter in microwave and use warm water so it will stay melted and try using less butter. I use 2 tbsp. Heavy whipping cream is best to make ice cream
I have always disliked meal shakes, but I was converted by Keto Chow. At the beginning when you said there were butter chunks, I said out loud, "You didn't do it right". You need to melt the butter first, then add the powder and warm water in a blender. Also, I use less than half the amount of butter you did. As you mentioned, it is a good ingredient to recipes. I mix in my Chaffee. The Salted Caramel and the Caramel Macchiato are my favorites.
I loved watching you learn to make Keto Chow! I look to you for a number of tasty keto recipes and KC has been one of my supports to help me on my journey to change my body's health. So watching you learn to do things with it was wonderful. I also love to bake with my keto chow. I make things I can chew with it. So it's been good for me and my need for structure without forcing my whole family to modify their diets.
I found using melted unsalted butter is a lot less carbs than heavy cream, tastier than using oil and I use hot tap water, blender and refrigerate overnight for best results. Also, I add a bit more water than it says on the pkg as I prefer it a bit less thick and sweet. My favorites are Chocolate, which is also great as hot chocolate in winter, & Raspberry Cheesecake. I used to be against sucralose but it actually tastes good, as they use a pure form, not at all like Splenda. Great for when you don't have time to cook, when traveling, and helps with transition into keto as it has electrolytes and satisfies cravings for sweets
Got the starter pack 3weeks ago. Have salad for dinner and can only drink a third of the blender bottle for dessert. Add Fenneleys mint chocolate cream and a bit of ice cream first for the mint chocolate one. For the strawberry, used Baileys irish cream strawberry flavor. It is too sweet and filling for me to think of eating the whole serving at one time. Almost asked you about doing a review. Looking forward to recipes. will even turn on the bell for notifications as a first for any channel I follow!
I absolutely LOVE keto chow! I make a blender full almost every morning for my family. Some flavors are unbelievable when mixed with butter, like chocolate toffee, caramel and snickerdoodle! I forgot to add, we make ice cream with it every Sunday, and have made many of the recipes on their website. I love the savory flavors for chaffles and soup. And the sweet flavors make great chaffles and crepes too!
I have been using Keto Chow, off and on, for a while and definitely have likes and dislikes on the flavors. (as I'm sure everyone has) As far as mixing I feel it definitely needs to initally be mixed using more than the blender bottle (ie blender, bullet blender or immersion blender which I use) otherwise it comes out "chunky". I also prefer a couple TBSP of butter (melted) and a little heavy cream mixed with the water and BLEND WELL and do leave in the fridge several hours or overnight for best results. I feel Keto CHOW has it's place if you're on a keto journey but I, personally, would not use it strictly alone as a meal replacement. Once a day maybe and/or as a "treat". (I am anxious to try CHOW ice cream and other recipes!) I agree with Steve, about half a shake is more than enough for me. I was subscribed to the Chow Club Boxes for a time. However, considering that I also feel cost is an issue I cancelled the subscription because I was getting too much product "backed up" AND I didn't like that I would often get flavors I didn't care for so I felt that was a "waste". For me the large bags are WAY TOO MUCH to have of ONE FLAVOR (in my opinion) unless I found a flavor I REALLY LIKE! For example I am a PEACH FREAK, I love, love, love, peach BUT did not care for the Peaches and Cream Keto Chow. It tasted way to "artificially" for my taste. Bottom line I like having it around for an option on my Keto journey.
Thank you for reviewing this Steve. I drink Keto Chow occasionally and I really like it. Chris and Miriam Bair, the founders, are wonderful people and always and honestly answer any questions about Keto. I am looking forward to watching you do recipes with Keto Chow. I enjoy your videos
For the most part, I do butter these days (2-3TB). There's even a video on the Keto Chow channel of me making it my way. I haven't tried combining both butter and HWC, so I'll have to give that a try. 🙂
When I first heard keto Chow I was intrigued then when you said they were packets I was not that interested. But when you brought up the ice cream then I was very interested great review Steve appreciate your family getting involved as well always fun to see them
keto chow in a blender with ice makes a nice ice cream. good for something quick. i've used several of their flavors and have really liked them. with their chicken flavor i've added spices and made a curry flavor...yum. Keto Chow's website has lots of recipes... my favorite flavor so far is caramel machiato and lemon meringue. very versatile stuff when you start to experiment. i was surprised when Steve said he hadn't tried it.
I don't like the Peaches and Cream flavor but my husband does. I use coffee as my liquid with the Carmel Macchiato, Salted Carmel, Egg Nog and Pumpkin Carmel Spice and it is delicious! For all flavors our favorite fat to use is 2 to 3 Tablespoons of melted butter.
Love Keto Chow. Chocolate mint, lemon, and root beer are my favorites; vanilla is great to use in recipes. Also, caramel macchiato is great in coffee. ~Kat
I knew when you didn't hate it that I had to find a way to try it! You are my go to for anything keto. I love your content and personality. I hear the savory keto chow is not for everybody. Thanks always
This was an awesome review Steve!!! I love how you have your family chiming in and the fact that Keto Chow kicked up your creativity gets me excited for what you have to come. I prefer to eat real food too but I was having a serious problem with getting my nutrition in... Keto Chow has definitely made that easier for me. Can't wait to see what come up with. Please tell your family we appreciate them too even though they're not living a keto lifestyle. ;)
I’ve made keto chow with butter and I have never ever got chunks of butter. I love adding coffee to my Caramel Macchiato. I think you will love it. Nice review on Keto Chow.
Oh man. Now I’m excited about this! When you tested the chocolate peanut butter, my first thought was “can I make ice cream with that?!” 😳 Then you made ice cream!!! 🤤

Hey, Chris from Keto Chow here. First off I want to make sure that everyone knows that the first time we got to see this video was when it went public today - there was no editorial control or anything like that. We always hope that that's unnecessary and people will like it as much as we do.
Now to my comments on the video =)
Honestly, I like that Steve mixed some up and drank it immediately. It gives people a good point of reference to what it will taste like and such if they want to skip waiting. The salt and other minerals take at least 30 minutes to dissolve and until then the crystals will be VERY present and make it taste saltier than it is.
Melted butter + warm water + blender = success =) Also, as noted by others, if you have one made with butter that has butter chunks (and you don't like that) microwave it and enjoy it warm!
The Peaches & Cream has been one of our most divisive flavors! Many people like it, others think it smells like perfume AND THAT'S OK! We all have different tastes.
Keto Chow makes good soft-serve ice cream, the water content makes it turn pretty solid if you try to harden it in the freezer, best to eat it right away.
Girl Scout 'Thin Mint' was EXACTLY the flavor we were going for with the Chocolate Mint. The color is what you get when you add real cocoa powder to the green =)
Regarding being really full when drinking them: sounds like you would prefer to use less heavy cream/butter/fat - one of the features of Keto Chow is that YOU can customize the type of fat and the AMOUNT of fat that suits your needs.
Thanks for the comment, Chris!
The fact that you are personally here commenting on your product speaks volumes to me.
I'm not familiar with Keto Chow at all but Steve's review has me interested.
Instead of meal replacement, are any of your products designed yet as a keto friendly protein shakes for a post workout routine? I lift weights three days a week and do HIIT two other days and beef broth is getting old as a post workout protein drink.
@@bluecollarwineguy4447 I know that Redmond has a Pre-workout but I don't know of any keto products that are specifically designed for post workout. I'm sure the protein in Keto Chow would work but I'm not sure if it would be specifically effective for post. The sweet flavors have whey and casein in the milk protein isolate and 3 of the savory flavors use beef bone broth protein along with beef protein. That brings up another non-Keto Chow Product: Equip makes beef protein powder that comes in Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry, it's not a meal like Keto Chow but it is a great way to get additional protein in.
thanks Chris and THANKS for making it available to Canada!!! ( 3 exclamation marks because I know how much Steve likes to see them)
@@CalgaryGuy Haha
For everyone who is telling me: "YOU GOTTA MELT THE BUTTER!!!", "You need to use a blender!", and "These are best overnight in the fridge", understand that in that first segment, we were trying these for the first time and for the most part following the instructions on the back of the pouch. We did melt the butter (just didn't use hot enough water).
After those first 3 shakes, we had all of the above figured out.
😂😂
Understandable, a bit of learning curve. Loved the review Steve. I’ve been loving the product, and the Founders Chris and Miriam 🙋♀️
Ah, sorry, just saw this. Good for you!!!
Trial and error
I’ll have to rethink keto chow when you commented about feel full full and that was my problem so I’ll have to give that approach a try.
Your family is a total plus on your show.
Agreed!
I second that! Especially your grand son's mmmmm comments🙂
Having so many different perspectives is easily my favorite part
Loved your wife. Include her more. Thank her for her service please.
My favorite flavors are snickerdoodle with whipping cream, raspberry cheesecake with the same fat. I make it up at night and drink it in the morning. Then I eat my BIG meal later in the day.
Melted butter, warm water, immersion blender and let it sit overnight. Perfect! Always overnight for best flavor and no grittiness, unless you want to drink it hot (think hot cocoa).
Butter gives a more pronounced flavor, less carbs and is cheaper than cream. Snickerdoodle with butter gives it more of a cookie flavor.
Heavy cream is best with fruity flavors, makes it tastes more like a melted milkshake and makes delicious ice cream!
Little hack: add peanut butter powder or peppermint extract to chocolate instead of buying the specific flavors.
Add a tsp of beef gelatin as you're making a shake with butter to get a pudding like consistency.
Use coffee instead of water! Pumpkin caramel and toffee are amazing with it!
Great tips!
I love this review!!! I have lost 140 pounds eating Keto and Keto Chow. I'm so glad that you like it.
That's amazing progress! Congrats!
Thanks for doing this! My hubby is a throat cancer surviver, and he uses these because he just can't physically eat enough in a day. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing what you can do with the savory varieties, to give him more options. THANKS again
I have used KetoChow with both cream and butter. I prefer butter if I am drinking the chow but you need to change how you make it slightly. I melt the butter in a mixer cup and then add the powder and use water hot from the tap. I then blend with a stick blender and refrigerate at least 6 hours. The flavors blend much better using this method (at least to me). A lot of times I make the chow with heavy cream and almond milk and then put it in my ice cream maker. A lot of times I will also enhance the flavor with a few drops of some artificial sweetener and sometimes add some extras like Lilly's chocolate chips, unsweetened coconut, nuts, or maybe some flavor drops from One on One Flavors.
I am a Keto Chow fanatic and a monthly subscriber. I always do mine with either 2 TBSP butter and 1 TBSP Coconut oil, or 2 TBSP butter and 2 TBSP non-dairy heavy cream. Some flavors I throw in a TBSP of PB Fit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, etc. I leave them at least 1-2 days in the fridge before drinking and the flavor REALLY comes out. I never, ever use the full amount of whipping cream or butter as on the card, it makes it taste completely different in my opinion and not near as good.
Agreed about the amount of whipping cream or butter. (it can get "gaggy" IMO) That's one benefit of Keto Chow it's "customizable".
Has using keto chow help you lose weight? I tried one pack during the first part of the morning and was full up until later that nite...I also tried one pack as pancakes which was kind of dry but okay and haven't used the others yet so that's why I was asking about the weight loss☺
@@patriciajohnson-platt4779 Have you tried this recipe? It's fantastic! Not dry at all.
ruclips.net/video/ITYm1qvZSEI/видео.html
Can I just use half and half?
you should try an ounce or 2 of cream cheese instead..love.
We are so incredibly glad you like caramel macchiato! ❤️❤️❤️ We do enjoy using coffee as the liquid sometimes just to take it up a notch. ☕️ Thank you so much for your encouragement! ❤️❤️❤️
You bet!
Just ordered starter pack! Several channels rave about this product but you gave a more in-depth review. Thank you! Love your channel!❤️❤️❤️
It was great to see your wife and son with you! I was so enticed, by y'alls reviews, I ordered a few of your "liked" flavors and a one pint Dash Ice Cream Maker!!
I've just found your channel. One of my subscribers recommend that I check out your content. This was a fantastic review thank you for being so thorough.
Follow directions, makes for a better experience, for sure. The satiety that you mention towards the end is noticeable. It doesn't shut off hunger quite like beef but it does a decent job.
One of my favorite Keto channels giving a shout out to one of my other favorite Keto channels made my day!😁
Thank you for your thorough review. I was on the fence, but I’m giving the starter pack a try. Love all the shirts!
I've been considering trying Keto Chow, so this review was right up my alley! I was especially interested in making ice cream with certain flavors. So, thank you so much!! I cannot wait for your videos using Keto Chow in some recipes!
Loved the family in the tastings-can't wait for Courtney to get home so she can taste test again, as well! God bless ❤
I've been buying Keto Chow for years and I absolutely love it. I even have a couple of bags of their savory flavors. A Keto Chow shake for lunch every day really helped me keep my hunger (and calories) under control when I was starting out with keto. Whenever I start going back to the office again I'll definitely be doing Keto Chow for lunch because it's so convenient.
FYI: I only ever use butter with the savory flavors because I heat those. For the sweet flavors I always use heavy cream and water, and always let the shake sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
Thanks for sharing
I don't really understand the purpose of the savory soup mixes - I can use bone broth and spices. The sweet ones are awesome but I didn't care for the savory.
@@LS-sg8rb Well they're nutritionally complete once you add a fat source, you can literally live off of them. Bone broth is basically just protein and electrolytes. I use the savory flavors as a soup base most of the time but it's nice to know I'm getting all my essential vitamins and minerals too.
@@vinyfiny2019 thanks for the explanation.
I’ve been drinking Keto Chow shakes for over a year. Mostly made with butter. I don’t think drinking butter is weird because butter is just cream with the carbs removed. I see in your comments you figured out some tips. One of the cool things about Keto Chow is you can tweak them by adding things like more spice and experimenting with alternate fats. It also makes a great ingredient just use like any protein powder. Their website has a good Chaffle recipe - you can use any flavor. The savory varieties make better chaffles than soup.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching it.
I LOVE keto chow ice cream and using it in recipes. I am looking forward to you coming up with some recipes!
Steve, Steve! Just sitting here heartbroken. You don't like chocolate mint? Now I have to adjust my pretend friendship with you! All jokes aside, great review 😁
Chocolate Mint is my favorite. Eggnog is what I use for my vanilla, lol
Thank you for the review and happy that Connor is ok after his accident.
I am sooo glad you did this review!!! Over a year ago...yes over a year, I bought the varity pack, and then inspired by recipes & "extra purchase" savings, spent a bundle (moderation) well no ! Not even made one yet! I will now thanks to you❗😋🤗
Here is my favorite-for those that like Banana Cream Pie: cut 2-3 strawberries, put on bottom of bowl. Pour banana keto chow over berries, top with whipped cream and toasted slivered almonds. 1 shake makes about 3 of these treats, so I have 1a day for 3 days. YUM! ❤️💥❤️. Will try a couple new flavors thanks to your review. Appreciate this!
Sounds great!
Thanks to this review and your comment I’m trying this!
Great idea, thanks for sharing. 👍
I guess I may be a lone dissenter (after all the comments I’ve read) but I just find it to be too expensive and have to respectively disagree that the price is comparable to eating a meal out. A Meal out to me means someone else prepares the meal and serves it etc.; me doing all the prep and serving just isn’t comparable. As always though, I’m happy to hear you give your true honest opinion and thoughts on products without following the crowd. For that reason I have a lot of respect for your integrity.
Thank you for checking them out, we love Chris and Miriam and Keto Chow.
Steve I'm so glad and actually shocked when I read the title of your video. I was told about Keto Chow about a year and a half ago from my friend who is not on keto but she saw it on an ad or something and told me about it. I said Keto chow? Sounds like puppy chow what the heck is that? My friend was concerned for me because times that I'm not able to eat and I've been rushing like a maniac when I was dealing with my father. I never looked into it. I'm happy that you did this review. I actually really didn't know it was a meal replacement I thought it was just something. But now seeing you trying out the product itself I have more confidence to know this is something for me even though now I don't deal with my dad's stuff anymore.
Terry made me laugh remind me of head bangers kitchen where he goes enough jibber jabber she just wanted to down that chocolate 😂🤣
I’m so glad you did a review on KetoChow. I was hesitant to try it (cost & sucralose) and now I’m hooked! After doing my research w/my health coach and watching their videos I secs to give it a try. I even feel it is safe enough to give to my kids (I need to keep KetoChow pudding stocked in the fridge at all times!)
BONUS- they have an amazing community, along w/2KrazyKetos, that helps me stay on track both physically and emotionally. Chris & Miriam are always transparent and approachable about their product so you can ask them anything.
I can’t wait ‘til you start coming up with recipes for all the fun flavors. 🤗
I just ordered, and got 10% off even the already reduced prices ... awesome savings on Starter Bundle - 6 meals plus a BlenderBottle × 1, originally around $44 and got it for $28.
Hi Teri! So cool that your family participates in these videos. ❤ Good point about the work situation towards the end. Starting a new job and I was wondering what to do about lunch. 🤷 Sometimes we forget about these diet tools.
I’m thinking of dusting off my old ice cream maker and making these up!
...... cue to end of video... great minds think alike!
Aren’t we all glad you buckled and try them?! Can’t ignore a great review from a proven foodie!
I kinda regret being a holdout for so long...
@@SeriousKeto , Look at it this way - now, you got additional contents to work on 👍🏼! I’ve never looked them up until now! They seem to be from good folks! I can’t wait to try them. I’m looking forward to your ideas!
So glad you tried this! I’m a new convert! I love drinking my first meal! My husband has one or two a day (and I bought this for me)! I use 2 Tbsp butter (melted 😄) and 1 Tbsp heavy whipping cream blended with an immersion stick. Yes, the taste gets better the longer it sits in the fridge (up to a few days). Vanilla is bland. My favorites are regular strawberry, chocolate toffee, salted caramel, chocolate peanut butter, snickerdoodle and Carmel macchiato. Haven’t got to try many of the others. For those worried about sucralose it’s explained on their site. It’s pure sucralose, not Splenda which uses sucralose and other bulking materials like maltodextrin which we all know to stay away from. As you said, the amount used is so minuscule it really is not going to have much of an affect. It’s the cleanest ingredients that tastes amazing that I have been able to find. And yes, you can make it into ice cream, pudding, pancakes, etc. Keto on!!🤗
I make my Keto Chow with avocado oil, I think a blender is a must to get it really mixed. Holding in the refrigerator at least a day is also really needed.
Great review. just bought the 21 pack of chocolate, your wife had me at “Malted” .
How was it?
@@niknik5380 it’s yummy
Yes, the chocolate flavor is good. 👍
I've added either Chocolate Toffee or Salted Caramel to my coffee to make a smoothie for over a year now - love it!
I know you like to cook. Check out all the recipes on their website, some of them are amazing! And be sure when you use butter to melt it and use hot water to mix, and yes you should use a blender. We love pancakes made from it and ICE CREAM, a real treat. I mean come on a huge bowl of ice cream for dinner, what's to complain about?
Pancakes? Is the recipe on their website?
I bought Keto Chow because of you, and I'm 20 pounds down in 4 weeks.
Thank you, it's the only food for which I have ever noticed a marked and fast decrease in blood glucose (Dexcom continuous glucose monitor) after eating it. It's impressive. (Usually keto-friendly food still has a small bump, bc it's food )
Especially because Keto Chow is dang delicious!! My favorite is pistachio, which is exactly like my favorite pistachio pudding.
I drink it with black tea (iced), Keto Chow, heavy cream, and my usual morning health shake (ground chia, ground flax, resistant starch, high flavanol chocolate). I used to hate my shake, honestly, but Keto Chow makes me love it now.
that's awesome!
How's your weight loss going? Did you lose 20 lbs in 4 weeks by drinking keto chow for every meal? Thanks:)
I was just about to type a solution for the butter chunks, but I see that other members beat me to that.
Yes Caramel Macchiato is fabulous with coffee. My favorite way to have it is warm with butter. It makes a FANTASTIC icecream. I'm really looking forward to Joe and Rachel seeing this video. The fact that you and the wife clicked glasses made me smile. Fans of both channels will appreciate the "the dink". Thank you for reviewing these products Steve. I appreciate that you took the time and effort to do a fair and honest review.
Toss a scoop of Perfect Keto Strawberry Collagen into your Peaches and Cream KC. I also toss a scoop of Cinnamon Toast PK into my Sniker Doodle to up the flavors.
Good call on the PK cinnamon toast and the snickerdoodle.
@@SeriousKeto Thank you.
watching while drinking my Carmel macchiato(made with some cold brew coffee) keto chow. i would go to there website and watch there video and get some tips. really a great product. and thre website has several recipes using keto chow that are not shakes.
Love, love love Keto Chow and their recipes are amazing on their website.
I can't wait to try! Might be a really good thing for this trucker!
I also thought the snickerdoodle was a little light on cinnamon so I added cinnamon and it became one of my favorites
Oh, I look forward to trying these out. I too am a foodie, but I'm also tired of being the daily cook for my family and I'm DYING for some relief from kitchen duty and your review got me excited to try many of these flavors!
And relief will be so nice since basically cooking low carb means not using ANY shortcuts which gets old FAST.
Now I have to decide if I want to order now or wait for you to review some savory products!
Order the starter pack, it comes with free shipping. :)
Hey Steve and Connor, thanks for taking a look at Keto Chow finally. I love food too but I'm also lazy so Keto Chow helps me stay the keto course more easily. When you try recipes I recommend you at least give the Keto Chow biscuits recipe with the savory chicken soup. I do find them to be a bit salty but they're quite good for a keto safe biscuit. Most people use the savory flavors as an ingredient but I also enjoy the savory flavors as a soup. I do add a few shakes of seasoned salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and a little hot sauce to up the flavors though. Without that the savory flavors are a bit bland IMHO.
My favorite fat source is the butter and as others have told you, it really helps to start with hotter water so that the butter will stay melted until it is blended. I usually use 2 tablespoons per shake and it isn't too buttery to me. It also works best in the blender (or immersion blender) since that makes sure everything gets mixed really well. The butter is emulsified into the drink by the acacia gum so it shouldn't clump up in the fridge if it has been properly blended.
One last point, I really appreciate Chris and Miriam as the owners of Keto Chow. Of course they want to make money but I really believe they want their customers to be successful on their keto journeys. There are a number of things they could do to make more money but they don't want to sacrifice their product quality to make more money. Their customer service has been very good as well in my experience. Overall just a top notch company that I'm happy to support.
Second the praise for Chris and Miriam, the owners (click Read More to find it). They are very responsible and friendly while focused on making the business go. The whole company is very responsive to customers and their website (revamped a while back) is very cheerful and well designed, to get you shopping. Keto Chow is a more flexible product than you might expect. There are lots of recipes on the site (not just mug cakes, either) if you don't want to use shakes for your keto trip. The ones I tried have been good but I think I prefer shakes. I just don't have the patience for cooking when I know I can be drinking it down pretty quick.
Thanks for trying the Keto Chow- I have been using it for a couple of months and I have to say they are spot on with the flavors. I don't do the vanilla alone, but have mixed it with other flavors to use up that bag. For flavors you don't like as much, making the scones recipe (under Raspberry Cheesecake) or pancakes or chaffles, you might like it that way. 2Krazyketos has lots of recipes and they did a pancake one everyone seems to love. With the butter you have to melt it first, and I mix the warm water with my sick blender before adding cold water, and let it sit overnight. No chunks that way. The shakes probably tasted more salty for Connor because he is not on keto. I loved how your wife's face lit up with the flavors she tried. The beef base makes a great cheeseburger soup and the drop biscuits using the savory chicken oh my. This is one of my favorite videos because I could hear the surprise and sometimes also joy in your voice. I have been on liquid/soft foods/no chewing for 2 weeks following oral surgery - this stuff has kept me from going off the deep end!
I’m not one for liquid meal replacements either, but the recipes on their site blew me away and I had to order them! Check them out...sweet & savory!
Mrs. Serious Keto is so adorable.
She is adorable. Seems very uncomfortable on camera, but in a cute way. 🤗
Thanks for the review. I’ve been interested in Keto Chow for a while but have been put off by the poor performance of other related products. I’m going to pull the trigger on a sample pack and give it a shot. I really appreciate the effort you put into your reviews.
Hey did you ever try the keto chow? I’ve been using it for over a year and it’s absolutely amazing as long as I make it and leave it over night. Plus all the hacks you can make with it as well.👍👍👍
@@brendaalbright8159 I did try a big box. Totally wasted my money. For me, it was incredibly sweet, cloyingly so. Could not finish half of it.
Just ordered two starter packs so I can keep an extra mix bottle in the cleaning rotation. I have been hesitant to order from these guys before as I have been making a serious attempt at removing processed food from the diet. On the other hand after a year and a half of doing this I miss good favored treat kind of food so hopefully this will scratch that itch for me because the Costco Keto type treats are not doing it. I'm a total nut for ice cream so I am ready to give that a try and thanks for the review, I appreciate your straight forward opinions.
Thanks for review! Great job! Did it justice. You need to warm the liquid you use when using butter. Overnight is better and also using a blender of sort takes it to another level. I love Keto Chow.
Yes, coffee with Caramel Macchiato is marvelous, but chocolate is my favorite!! I also love the KC Chaffles and the variety of other things can be made with the sweet and savory flavors. Thanks again!!
Great review(s), and good to see Connor and Terry again. I’m not one for liquid meal replacements either, but I’m a bit intrigued by some of the flavors- caramel macchiato being on the top of my list. Might break down and give them a try 😉
Try the caramel macciato as pancakes using Joe's pancake recipe from 2 krazy ketos, SO good!
The caramel macchiato flavor is a very recent addition to their lineup and Keto Chow jumped in with the single serving pouches and 21-meal bags right from the start. Usually Keto Chow introduces new flavors only in single serving pouches at first to gauge the response but this time it was so well liked during testing that they knew it would sell well. I've tried all the flavors of Keto Chow and the caramel macchiato is my favorite!
Salted Caramel & Chocolate Toffee are may favorites. If you like Snickers then mix Salted Caramel w/Chocolate Peanut Butter-tastes like the candy bar! Sometimes I add in a scoop of Peanut Butter Perfect Keto.
@@wildzen3349 My daughters like Joe's pancake recipe w/Snickerdoodle. They say it tastes like French Toast in a pancake form.
I loved seeing your wife and son! I am glad Connor is well! Thank you for your dedicated work again! And Chris from Keto Chow, thanks so much for your products and additional info here!
I tried Keto Chow early on in my Keto journey and I found for me it does the job but I need something to chew. If I was doing a long drive it would be great to drink along the way..
💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
I just got Keto Chow last week. I had a vendor fair on Sunday, to sell my creations. I knew the food there would not really be Keto friendly. I tried it with butter and it was pretty good, but because it was salted butter, it was a little on the salty side. I was full and only bought water from the food vendors. I will definitely be having this product again in the future.
Great video Steve. We have been using keto chow for some time now. For your viewers who don’t own an ice cream maker, may I refer them to 2 Krazi Ketos video using a “good” blender to make soft serve ice cream with keto chow. No freezer needed. We do this often with a Vitamix. It is a real treat! My oil of choice is avocado oil. I will also add a scoop of flavored collagen sometimes. Thanks for your great work!
I love making custard with the sweet Keto Chow flavors and the savory chicken makes amazing chaffles. I also make drop biscuits with savory chicken. I mix up the ingredients- chedder jalapeno, feta and chive, bacon, parmesan and garlic....you name it. They are so easy!! I used to use them as meal replacements but primarily use them for cooking now since I also enjoy eating versus a meal replacement shake. Their website has a ton of really good recipes.
I usually heat my almond milk a bit as well, just for blending purposes. Also, the butter goes great with flavors like chocolate peanut butter. Salted caramel, chocolate toffee… you get the idea. I use keto chow to make keto ice cream in my ice cream machine as well. Waaayyy more often than I drink it. It’s the BEST keto ice cream. I do add some sweetener and/or extracts for several of them. I also add some chocolate chips & chopped nuts to some of them on occasion to make a “rocky road”.
Thank you so much for an honest review! I've had samples and been scared to try it.
My parents names are Steve and Teri. That just made my day.
My favorite flavors are snickerdoodle with whipping cream, raspberry cheesecake with the same fat.
This is perfect for me... I only eat 2x a day, and now that I'm back to work I have to have something for myself and my mother to prepare and eat in 30 mintues during a break... this has been very stressful and given me heartburn trying to eat fast and get back to work... can't eat on the phone. I can make them in advance and have them ready for break time. Can't wait to try them.
I've found that the way I enjoy them the most is to mix a packet in a blender with water (about 2/3rds of a shaker bottle). Then I put it back in the shaker bottle and put it in the fridge overnight (this really brings out the flavor, makes it smoother, and lets the bubbles dissipate). Then I add heavy whipping cream until the shaker cup is almost full, shake it up, and serve.
I noticed your wife’s hat said she’s a Navy veteran!
From a fellow veteran (USS Santa Fe SSN 763), tell her thank you for her service!
She served on the USS Mercy during the first Gulf War.
@@SeriousKeto Nice! We served at the exact same time. I served from January 20, 1991 to April 11, 1995.
I have used their stuff for a while on and off. I like it on occasion but my big problem, is I like my "meals" to consist of warm/hot food mostly and although these were a huge part of my 90lb weight loss, I can't do them every day anymore.
I’m not a fan of meal replacement drinks also ,I like to eat my meals but I purchased an ice cream maker to use the keto chow for that and for chaffles or pancakes,plan on ordering a list of them for summer time and since I live in Florida that’s pretty much all year long ,great video review
I preferred it made with avacado oil if I was just going to drink it ( always the next day and mixed with warm water ) Steve this stuff is so yummy in the ice cream maker( made with HWC )
Yes, avocado oil for drinking. You don’t taste it.
@@Weedo1184 u don’t taste it at all
Available in Canada too! Will you do a review of the savoury ones at all? Those look interesting as well!!
…Raspberry cheesecake 😳😳😳 in ice cream form! oh my lol
Yes, probably in July.
yep, ships within Canada from Switch Grocery!
Thanks for the review. I always see this and am sooo curious. I appreciate this prescriptive. I trust Steve's judgment and love the non keto view.
The snickerdoodle flavor is my absolute favorite, followed by the caramel macchiato. I haven't had any for awhile, but I think I need to place an order.
I'm used to Sated, but seeing Keto Chow and their variety of flavors makes me really interested in checking them out
You won't regret it. What's so good about it is how you can really tweak it to your personal likes. Not sweet enough? add some skinny syrup or sweetener to taste. Not enough spice? Add more cinnamon or pumpkin spice, etc. Want a stronger flavor? Add extract! Is it too thick or thin? Add more or less water. Switch up the liquid to compliment the chow flavor. Same with the fat sources. butter goes better with some flavors and heavy whipping cream for others. It definitely tastes better if it sits for several hours (or overnight) and depending on the fat source, it can be in the fridge for about 6 days and still be good. when using butter, always melt it and use a blender of some sort to get it all mixed in -- slightly warm water, as well, with the butter. It makes a huge difference. I've been drinking them for a few years and I don't think there's a flavor I don't like.
This is such a fun video, love the family interactions and the shirts :) I've been interested in trying Keto Chow. So glad you included the mint chocolate because that's probably my favorite ice cream flavor next to cookie n cream. I've made protein powder chaffles before, it would be interesting to see you do other food applications with it. :)
Wow, I just realized how much Courtney and Connor look so much alike and their mannerisms are the same too. Enjoy your product reviews.
Same, isn't it sweet🙂
I absolutely love Keto Chow plus they are a great company! I use butter, melt it and use very warm water, mix with an immersion blender. If you leave it in the fridge for a day or two the flavor gets even better :)
Steve - you have to try using coffee as the liquid for chocolate toffee, it is soooo good.
Melt butter in microwave and use warm water so it will stay melted and try using less butter. I use 2 tbsp. Heavy whipping cream is best to make ice cream
Yeah we figured it out after watching a video by Keto Chow on it.
I have always disliked meal shakes, but I was converted by Keto Chow. At the beginning when you said there were butter chunks, I said out loud, "You didn't do it right". You need to melt the butter first, then add the powder and warm water in a blender. Also, I use less than half the amount of butter you did. As you mentioned, it is a good ingredient to recipes. I mix in my Chaffee. The Salted Caramel and the Caramel Macchiato are my favorites.
I loved watching you learn to make Keto Chow! I look to you for a number of tasty keto recipes and KC has been one of my supports to help me on my journey to change my body's health. So watching you learn to do things with it was wonderful. I also love to bake with my keto chow. I make things I can chew with it. So it's been good for me and my need for structure without forcing my whole family to modify their diets.
I found using melted unsalted butter is a lot less carbs than heavy cream, tastier than using oil and I use hot tap water, blender and refrigerate overnight for best results. Also, I add a bit more water than it says on the pkg as I prefer it a bit less thick and sweet. My favorites are Chocolate, which is also great as hot chocolate in winter, & Raspberry Cheesecake. I used to be against sucralose but it actually tastes good, as they use a pure form, not at all like Splenda. Great for when you don't have time to cook, when traveling, and helps with transition into keto as it has electrolytes and satisfies cravings for sweets
Got the starter pack 3weeks ago. Have salad for dinner and can only drink a third of the blender bottle for dessert. Add Fenneleys mint chocolate cream and a bit of ice cream first for the mint chocolate one. For the strawberry, used Baileys irish cream strawberry flavor. It is too sweet and filling for me to think of eating the whole serving at one time. Almost asked you about doing a review. Looking forward to recipes. will even turn on the bell for notifications as a first for any channel I follow!
I absolutely LOVE keto chow! I make a blender full almost every morning for my family. Some flavors are unbelievable when mixed with butter, like chocolate toffee, caramel and snickerdoodle!
I forgot to add, we make ice cream with it every Sunday, and have made many of the recipes on their website. I love the savory flavors for chaffles and soup. And the sweet flavors make great chaffles and crepes too!
Thank you for trying keto chow. I kept seeing it ads everywhere and was just so curious about it.
I have been using Keto Chow, off and on, for a while and definitely have likes and dislikes on the flavors. (as I'm sure everyone has) As far as mixing I feel it definitely needs to initally be mixed using more than the blender bottle (ie blender, bullet blender or immersion blender which I use) otherwise it comes out "chunky". I also prefer a couple TBSP of butter (melted) and a little heavy cream mixed with the water and BLEND WELL and do leave in the fridge several hours or overnight for best results. I feel Keto CHOW has it's place if you're on a keto journey but I, personally, would not use it strictly alone as a meal replacement. Once a day maybe and/or as a "treat". (I am anxious to try CHOW ice cream and other recipes!) I agree with Steve, about half a shake is more than enough for me. I was subscribed to the Chow Club Boxes for a time. However, considering that I also feel cost is an issue I cancelled the subscription because I was getting too much product "backed up" AND I didn't like that I would often get flavors I didn't care for so I felt that was a "waste". For me the large bags are WAY TOO MUCH to have of ONE FLAVOR (in my opinion) unless I found a flavor I REALLY LIKE! For example I am a PEACH FREAK, I love, love, love, peach BUT did not care for the Peaches and Cream Keto Chow. It tasted way to "artificially" for my taste. Bottom line I like having it around for an option on my Keto journey.
Steve, Thank you for trying keto chow. When you mentioned mocha and your wife said malted I was thinking ice cream yum! God Bless you.
SO excited! Can't wait for the recipes that you'll develop to give me some new alternatives to add in. Woohoo!
Thank you for reviewing this Steve. I drink Keto Chow occasionally and I really like it. Chris and Miriam Bair, the founders, are wonderful people and always and honestly answer any questions about Keto. I am looking forward to watching you do recipes with Keto Chow. I enjoy your videos
I can't wait to see how you incorporate these into your recipes. It was so great to see Connor and Terry with you. Hope Courtney is doing well. 🥰🥰🥰
LOVE your wife!! She’s not animated or fake. LOVE!
The vitamins and minerals used in Keto Chow are EXCEPTIONAL and TOP QUALITY 👍 even the salt used is the awesome Utah’s Redmond’s salt ❤️
I do 2 tbsp of butter with 1/4 cup of heavy cream. You get that buttery goodness and more creaminess.
For the most part, I do butter these days (2-3TB). There's even a video on the Keto Chow channel of me making it my way. I haven't tried combining both butter and HWC, so I'll have to give that a try. 🙂
When I first heard keto Chow I was intrigued then when you said they were packets I was not that interested. But when you brought up the ice cream then I was very interested great review Steve appreciate your family getting involved as well always fun to see them
there are 2 sizes: the individual packets (great for tying out different flavors) and a bulk 21 meal bag (scoop for measuring, lowest cost)
keto chow in a blender with ice makes a nice ice cream. good for something quick. i've used several of their flavors and have really liked them. with their chicken flavor i've added spices and made a curry flavor...yum. Keto Chow's website has lots of recipes... my favorite flavor so far is caramel machiato and lemon meringue. very versatile stuff when you start to experiment. i was surprised when Steve said he hadn't tried it.
I don't like the Peaches and Cream flavor but my husband does. I use coffee as my liquid with the Carmel Macchiato, Salted Carmel, Egg Nog and Pumpkin Carmel Spice and it is delicious! For all flavors our favorite fat to use is 2 to 3 Tablespoons of melted butter.
If you mix it with the Orange Cream, it makes a nice Fuzzy Navel. I just use a package of each, mix, and divide into two shaker bottles.
I am interested in this product with so many ways to prepare it.! Thanks Steve, Conner and Terry!!
Love Keto Chow. Chocolate mint, lemon, and root beer are my favorites; vanilla is great to use in recipes. Also, caramel macchiato is great in coffee. ~Kat
Thanks you’ll 🦋🎈 have a wonderful week🎉🦋🎈
I was scoping out keto ice cream at the store, but didn’t like the price.
I may have to try one of these.
Ty!
I knew when you didn't hate it that I had to find a way to try it! You are my go to for anything keto. I love your content and personality. I hear the savory keto chow is not for everybody. Thanks always
This was an awesome review Steve!!! I love how you have your family chiming in and the fact that Keto Chow kicked up your creativity gets me excited for what you have to come. I prefer to eat real food too but I was having a serious problem with getting my nutrition in... Keto Chow has definitely made that easier for me. Can't wait to see what come up with. Please tell your family we appreciate them too even though they're not living a keto lifestyle. ;)
🤠It's kind of like semi-homemade!
I’ve made keto chow with butter and I have never ever got chunks of butter. I love adding coffee to my Caramel Macchiato. I think you will love it. Nice review on Keto Chow.
Oh man. Now I’m excited about this! When you tested the chocolate peanut butter, my first thought was “can I make ice cream with that?!” 😳 Then you made ice cream!!! 🤤
Looking forward to your recipe videos using KetoChow!! Great review!!
