Keto Chow: A Simple Guide To Getting Started

Keto Chow is a versatile product that can be used as a meal replacement, snack, coffee creamer, or even in low-carb baking. It is simple to prepare and can be made in a variety of ways, including using a BlenderBottle®, blender, or gallon-size pitcher with an immersion blender. The basic recipe involves mixing Keto Chow powder with water and a fat source such as heavy cream, butter, or oil, and then refrigerating it before consumption. The amount of each ingredient can be customised to fit specific calorie and fat requirements, and there are numerous flavour options available.

Mix one meal at a time in a BlenderBottle

One of the most popular ways to prepare Keto Chow is by mixing one meal at a time in a BlenderBottle. This method is simple and direct: add 18-24 ounces of warm water to your BlenderBottle, depending on your preferred thickness (warm or hot water works best for mixing). Then, add in one serving (one scoop or one single-meal packet) of Keto Chow powder.

Next, you can add in your preferred fat source. Heavy cream is the simplest option and can be easily found in most shaker cups with a 4oz line. You can also use melted butter, avocado oil, or any other fat source of your choice. If you're just starting out, we recommend using 4 ounces of heavy cream.

After adding your fat source, place the lid securely on your BlenderBottle and shake well to mix all the ingredients. Then, refrigerate your BlenderBottle for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for the best flavour. You can also drink your Keto Chow immediately after preparing it if you're unable to wait!

Finally, before drinking, be sure to give your BlenderBottle another good shake to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Keto Chow meal!

Prepare multiple meals in a blender

Preparing multiple meals in a blender is a convenient way to use Keto Chow. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Step 1: Gather Ingredients and Choose Flavours

Select a delicious flavour of Keto Chow powder. The most popular option is chocolate, but there are various flavours available, including limited-time offerings like Butterscotch, Orange Cream, Malt, and Birthday Cake. Choose a fat source that suits your preferences and needs, such as heavy cream, butter, avocado oil, or coconut oil.

Step 2: Prepare the Blender

Take a blender and add 18-24 ounces of water, adjusting the amount based on your desired thickness for the meal. Using warm or hot water works best for mixing, but avoid boiling water as it can negatively impact the proteins. If you like, you can also add ice to your blender for a chilled meal.

Step 3: Add Keto Chow Powder

Pour one serving (one scoop) of your chosen Keto Chow powder into the blender. Each scoop represents one individual packet, which is approximately a 40-gram serving. If you plan to make multiple meals, adjust the amount of water and add the corresponding number of scoops of Keto Chow powder.

Step 4: Blend and Add Fat Source

Secure the lid on your blender and blend the contents until the powder is fully mixed with the water. Then, add your chosen fat source. For example, if using butter, melt it beforehand and add it to the blender. You can also experiment with combinations, such as ghee and heavy cream or coconut oil and heavy cream.

Step 5: Refrigerate and Serve

After blending, transfer the contents to a suitable container, such as a gallon-size pitcher. Refrigerate your prepared Keto Chow for at least 30 minutes to an hour, but preferably overnight, to allow the flavours to develop and enhance. Before serving, give it a good shake or stir to ensure everything is well combined.

Preparing multiple meals in a blender is an efficient method, and you can always add your own creative twists by experimenting with different flavour combinations and ingredients. Remember to check the nutritional information and adjust your ingredient quantities accordingly to meet your specific needs and goals.

Use warm water for mixing

When preparing Keto Chow, it's important to note that the type and amount of fat you use can be customised to fit your body's needs. The recommended minimum amount of fat per serving is 10 grams, as this is the amount required for your body to appropriately absorb all the vitamins and minerals in the powder.

Warm water is best for mixing Keto Chow. You can add 18-24 ounces of warm water to a blender bottle, along with 1 serving (1 scoop) of Keto Chow powder. You can then add your chosen fat source, such as melted butter, heavy cream, or avocado oil.

If you're using butter, it's important to melt it first and mix well. While you can use warm water to mix Keto Chow with butter, it can be a little tricky, so you may need to experiment to find the right technique.

After adding the ingredients to the blender bottle, place it in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for the best results. Before drinking, be sure to shake the bottle again to ensure everything is well combined.

Using warm water to mix Keto Chow is a great option, as it helps the vitamins and minerals dissolve faster. This means you can drink it right away, or you can refrigerate it and reheat it later if you prefer a warm beverage.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

After mixing your Keto Chow, it's time to refrigerate it! Place your Keto Chow in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to give it a chance to chill. This step is important because it enhances the flavour and texture of your drink. Chilling allows the flavours to develop and blend together, resulting in a more delicious and satisfying experience.

While 30 minutes is the minimum, you can also leave your Keto Chow in the fridge overnight. This longer refrigeration time further intensifies the flavours and makes your drink even more tasty. It's a great option if you want to prepare your Keto Chow in advance and have it ready for the next day.

During refrigeration, the vitamins and minerals in the Keto Chow also get some time to dissolve properly. This ensures that you're getting the full nutritional benefit from each serving. So, while you can drink Keto Chow immediately after preparation, chilling it for at least 30 minutes is highly recommended for optimal flavour and nutrition.

If you're short on time, using cold water in your mixture can help reduce the chilling time. Alternatively, if you're in a hurry and can't wait, you can consume your Keto Chow right after preparation. It will still be nutritious and safe to drink, but the flavours won't have had as much time to develop.

Remember, the refrigeration step is about enhancing your Keto Chow experience. So, if you have the time, give it at least 30 minutes to chill, and you'll be rewarded with a more flavourful and enjoyable drink.

Choose a fat source

When making Keto Chow, you can choose from a variety of fat sources to fit your body's needs. It is important to include a minimum of 10 grams of fat in your Keto Chow to ensure your body appropriately absorbs all the vitamins and minerals.

Heavy Cream

Heavy cream is one of the simplest fat sources to use. It can be easily added to Keto Chow and water, and then shaken or blended. Heavy whipping cream is similar but contains additional emulsifiers. When purchasing heavy cream, look for options with 0g of carbohydrates, as some brands may contain up to 0.41g of net carbs per 15ml.

Butter

Butter is another recommended fat source for Keto Chow. It can be melted and added to the blend. Using butter provides a good balance of fat content and flavour.

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is a healthy option to include in your Keto Chow. It has a mild flavour and is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, offering various health benefits.

Ghee/Clarified Butter

Ghee, or clarified butter, is a form of butter with the milk solids and water removed, resulting in a higher smoke point. It can be mixed with warm water using a blender to create a creamy and flavourful addition to your Keto Chow.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a good option, but it should be melted and mixed with warm water using a blender. It provides a high amount of healthy saturated fats and a subtle coconut flavour.

Other Options

Other fat sources that can be used include Wagyu beef tallow, peanut butter, cream cheese, and various types of oils like MCT oil, soybean oil, and vegetable oil. However, some of these options may have strong flavours or higher carbohydrate content, so they are not as commonly recommended.
