When will the madness end? =) This week there’s a sale on Gourmet Vanilla – all the sizes are 15% off (Samples, Weeks and Days).
One caveat: the discount doesn’t apply to the bundled packages (build-a-month, build-a-week or sample-all-the-things) – I can’t get the normal 5% discount of the bundle to work with the 15% discount at the same time.

There was an article posted on http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-diy-forums-that-put-the-people-in-soylent today regarding the DIY site. Along with other things they mention that Keto Chow is currently the number 1 recipe on the site, it’s been that way for quite a while. I’m not sure the criteria used to decide “relevance” (the default sorting method), probably a combination of popularity, update frequency, reviews and other factors. Anyhow, it’s cool to be king. One note: the DIY site rewrites all ingredient links to have the Amazon affiliates code for Nick. I personally prefer people use the recipe at https://www.thebairs.net/keto-chow-recipe/ but that’s me =)
Last week we had a sale on Snickerdoodle, this week it’s Cookies & Cream – all the sizes are 25% off (Samples, Weeks and Days).

I routinely check my web site logs for info on where people are coming from, sometimes it’s normal stuff like people coming from the Keto Chow subreddit. Other times it’s a bunch of people coming from somewhere new. Yesterday “Girl Eats Keto” published a review on Keto Chow: http://girleatsketo.com/index.php/2016/08/19/keto-chow-review/ She also has a more general “here’s what I’m doing to start Keto” post up. Overall it’s shaping up to be a nice blog! Image at top is from her review.
We went camping over the weekend. As usual, we ate a lot of bacon, sausage, and eggs (with hash browns for the kids, who aren’t doing keto). We were at Willard Bay, a freshwater reservoir that was built adjacent to the Great Salt Lake by erecting a dike – essentially a dam around the entire area. The water is relatively warm and it’s not very busy. The main thing is: it’s close to us and since we were taking a camp trailer PLUS wave runners (super awesome 1996 Polaris ones I got for cheap on Craig’s list – hey, they work) I didn’t want to go very far. I had Keto Chow for lunch at the water (which was far more tasty than the sandwiches the kids were eating), as did my wife (see photo above).
Last night my wife pointed out a box one of my kids has drawn on. Apparently, he thinks we need to introduce a new flavor. I especially like the logo and the QR code.
This morning my “daily movie quote” calendar was full of awesome. Soylent Green is people; Keto Chow is ground-up low-carb hippies.
Finally an update on Keto Chow 2.0: Yesterday I went to visit the co-packing place to pick up a new batch of flavor tests. Overall they’re excellent. Vanilla, Strawberry, and Chocolate are awesome (strawberry needs some more pink color which is unrelated to taste but whatever). The Cookie and Cream flavor was buttery tasting with not enough “oreo” aspect, maybe needs some chocolate? It’s still good though, more like a butter cookie. The Chocolate Peanut Butter is interesting.
The Chocolate Peanut Butter is interesting. The facility has an employee that’s allergic to peanuts. This means that using actual peanut flour at that location isn’t an option. The first solution is to have a different facility do the packaging of the Chocolate Peanut Butter, we’re looking at that. The second solution is to use a peanut butter flavor that doesn’t contain any of the problematic proteins. We tried some of that and there was a slight hint of peanut taste but nothing like what we currently get with the chocolate peanut butter flavor using real peanut flour. With this being my #1 favorite flavor you can be assured that I will not compromise on anything less than “this is yummy enough to drink for a month straight, I want MOAR!”. He also gave me a mocha (I think coffee anything smells like burnt toast so I got a guy testing it for me). The Snickerdoodle flavor wasn’t ready yet, I’m thinking about adding a Salted Carmel and maybe a Banana flavor – dunno. In all, it’s a definitive step in the right direction!
Last week we had a sale on Fudge, this week it’s SnickerDoodle – all the sizes are 25% off (Samples, Weeks and Days).
For those that aren’t familiar with SnickerDoodle – it’s a type of cookie that’s covered in cinnamon (I say this because one guy thought it was “Snickers” flavor) – see the image above.
One caveat: the discount doesn’t apply to the bundled packages (build-a-month, build-a-week or sample-all-the-things) – I can’t get the normal 5% discount of the bundle to work with the 25% discount at the same time.
We are having a sale on the week packages of Chocolate Fudge – they’re $20 off. Get them while they’re… powder? It’s possible we might do this with other flavors in the future but we don’t have a specific plan for that right now. One caveat: the discount doesn’t apply to the “build-a-month” bundle – I can’t get the normal 5% discount of the bundle to work with the $20 discount on the fudge at the same time.
