When I'm just doing single packets for ice cream (instead of scoops), I'll put my 1/4 tsp of tara gum into the open packet of Keto Chow (along with 1/2-1 tsp of allulose) and gently mix that in the packet with the measuring spoon before adding to the blender. Tara gum (and most gums) can clump, so dispersing it in the Keto Chow is my insurance against that. The allulose serves two purposes: 1) Cold numbs our sensitivity to sweetness, so the allulose adds a bit of sweetness; and 2) allulose can inhibit ice crystal formation, and ice crystals in your ice cream is the enemy of creaminess.
I am traveling and keto chow is helping me stay on track. I brought a shaker bottle a frother. My hotel room has a microwave and fridge. I bought butter and melt it in microwave. Mix it with some hot water in blender bottle then use frother to mix. Then add remaining water and shake well. Into fridge overnight and it's delicious then next day!
What I absolutely love about keto chow is that it is adjustable. I tried with butter and all I tasted was butter. Then I tried heavy whipping cream and was too sweet even with the smallest amount. Then just started doing simple almond milk then soy milk, coconut milk and oat milk… I just do 10 oz of milk then rest water. Simple, worked for me. Love Keto Chow.
For the impatient, I find that many flavors of Keto Chow are delicious warm! I just mix it up using the butter and hot water method, and boom, I have a delicious hot drink!
Fantastic video. It would be nice to get printed instructions with the first beginner’s package. To keep running back to a video is a pain so I ended up not doing much,with the packages I have. When I have time I’ll go back to this video and type out all my instructions so I can post it on a cupboard door. As you get older your memory doesn’t keep those things in your mind. Thanks
We do have printed instructions on the packages, with tiny illustrations too. There's also a "how to Chow" card with fat amounts that we send with all orders unless you ask us not to.
@@KetoChowUA-cam Your instructions on the packets are far from all the options you just demonstrated. Don't get me wrong, I love my shakes (I make them pretty thick) using heavy cream, but I never saw anything on the printed materials that mentioned using a Creami (I've never even heard of that machine before) or making ice cream. I totally agree with starfire8221's comment that it would be fantastic to have everything you just demonstrated provided in step-by-step written instructions. It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to add that info to your website or sent with first orders of the product. Taste is fabulous! But I would really love to have written instructions to refer to so I can have a variety of prepared meals that are easy to grab and go!! Thank you!!
If I make ice cream in a Ninja blender that has an ice cream setting, would you freeze the mix together and then run the blender? Or run the blender before freezing? I’d like to know if I can use my blender before I run out and buy a Creami?
I noticed that you made three in the blender first and then made four for the Creami but you used the same volume of liquid (filled the blender to 64 ounces). Should you use less water per serving when making the ice cream?
I have been looking for you on FB. Lots of keto people but can't find you. Was trying to get in on the give away of the ninja Cremi. Maybe u are using a different name?
Usually, most can't resist and end up eating the whole thing! But sometimes, it’s so rich and filling that many customers have to save the rest in the fridge for later. It's like a delicious cycle of melt and re-freeze! 😋🍦
Hello. I am just trying your products for the first time. I am wondering if it's okay to blend up frozen coffee ice cubes or ice in the blender after it's chilled for a while? I notice in this video you use the blender on really low speed. Is there a reason for that, and is it okay to throw some ice cubes or coffee ice cubes in and turn it up on high? Thanks in advance!
I need to try and talk the lady into approving of us getting a Ninja Creamy... She's not a huge Ice Cream fan... she likes all the stuff that goes into Ice Cream... Perhaps we will find one on a nice deep discount... I got my Ninja Air Fryer that stands up on the counter for 20$ at a yard sale two years ago, it was basically unused (they are still like $179 at Costco) Now it looks like it's seen some things...
In the US, butter is mainly sold in 1/2 pound or pound packages, which is split into wrapped sticks weighing 1/4 pound (110g) each, which also equals 1/2 cup.
On the Keto Chow instructions (info.ketochow.xyz/prepare), it says to add 1.5-2 cups of water. Sometimes that gets interpreted to "mix to 2 cups total." If you do that, it's going to be WAY too thick and unbearably salty. Most people like the taste and thickness when the total mixture is around 20-24 fl oz or a nearly full Blender Bottle. If your Keto Chow is already mixed up and not the way you like it, just add more water!
I could not understand any of this ? It seems like a good video but I’m not understanding the measurements? I think for me it’s to many variety instructions. I have purchased several key Chow individual packets and I’m not really enjoying them. I’m a bit bummed. I’m trying to experiment with them.
Keto chow is way too expensive. 100.00 for 21 servings. WOW! Who can afford that. Plus adding all the extra ingredients to make whatever... milk, heavy cream etc. Is not affordable.
#1 don't buy on Amazon unless you want to pay more. #2 the price ends up a little less than $4 a meal, that'll look expensive if you compare it to a protein shake, but that's not what keto chow is. It's better compared to the price of buying a complete meal because that's what it is. 2krazyketos.com/2020/09/23/is-ketochow-expensive/

That's a great tip. I wish I had read it 2 hours ago when I was making my Creamis LOL 😉
Have you used coconut milk yet for shakes or ice cream? Love your recipes

I think you'll love the core keto chow so you can have your desired level of sweetness. 😊
So glad you thinks so. Glad you took some time to figure out what works best for you.
Which of these milks did you like best. I am dairy free
For the impatient, I find that many flavors of Keto Chow are delicious warm! I just mix it up using the butter and hot water method, and boom, I have a delicious hot drink!
Good advice! Many of our flavors truly shine when enjoyed warm!
Lately I’m making Keto Chow with unsalted Macadamia Nut Butter. This is especially tasty with the Chocolate and the Mocha.
Sounds great!

Keto Chow Ninja Creami for the win! In the summer I have a pint for dinner “very” often! Love your products! YUM! 💕
For my Creami I have found that if I put the pot in the microwave for 1 min I can just run it one time on Lite
You make me wanna be a better ice cream maker. 😊
I use my vitamix to make my shakes also. Makes it so much easier.
Yes it does!
Excellent dictatorial, ty so much chris am saving

Not gonna lie. That combo sounds delicious.
It definitely is!
Blueberry Pie Ice Cream rules the world!
It's definitely one of our favorites too! We appreciate your support of Keto Chow!
Chris you can really be funny lol!! Not talking with food in your mouth!!😂
Mama says it's impolite 😜
Keto chow is my most favourite food after steak. Nom. 😋😋😋
What a compliment, thanks so much 😋.
Great Job Chris!!!
I noticed that you made three in the blender first and then made four for the Creami but you used the same volume of liquid (filled the blender to 64 ounces). Should you use less water per serving when making the ice cream?
Because the ninja Creami containers only hold 16oz (2 cups), 4 servings take up the same volume as 3 of the shakes.
I do like drawing on my dishes.
This is fantastic Chris!
Thanks for watching. We will be back on tomorrow evening.
Great video thank you Chris. Keto chow is the best
Thanks so much, Luz.
Very much enjoyed the step by step tutorial! Thank you! Is there any plan in the works to create ready to go Keto Chows for store shelves?
I have been looking for you on FB. Lots of keto people but can't find you. Was trying to get in on the give away of the ninja Cremi. Maybe u are using a different name?

Love this! Thank you 🥰
You are so welcome!
When you make it as ice cream, do you still eat the whole thing?
Usually, most can't resist and end up eating the whole thing! But sometimes, it’s so rich and filling that many customers have to save the rest in the fridge for later. It's like a delicious cycle of melt and re-freeze! 😋🍦
@KetoChowUA-cam thank you!

Yes there is not problem doing that. Makes it more like a Frosty type consistency.
Shake like a pro, YO!

I purchased butter powder for traveling. Is this a good option for chow & chow ice cream?
It will work but costs more and has higher carbohydrates compared to regular butter. ua-cam.com/video/irvU784FDWI/v-deo.html
😍❤😍
How big is 1 stick of butter in the U.S and Canada? I'm in Australia and ours are normally 250 or 500 grams.
In the US, butter is mainly sold in 1/2 pound or pound packages, which is split into wrapped sticks weighing 1/4 pound (110g) each, which also equals 1/2 cup.
Not sure what I’m doing wrong but mine stays a powder no matter how many times I mix it.
Are you referring to when you try turn it into ice cream or when mixing Keto Chow?
@@KetoChowUA-cam ice cream. I mixed up the Keto Chow with butter and froze for a few days. I didn’t add the gum acacia. Could that be the problem?
How much water for the heavy cream? I lost my shaker bottle
On the Keto Chow instructions (info.ketochow.xyz/prepare), it says to add 1.5-2 cups of water. Sometimes that gets interpreted to "mix to 2 cups total." If you do that, it's going to be WAY too thick and unbearably salty. Most people like the taste and thickness when the total mixture is around 20-24 fl oz or a nearly full Blender Bottle. If your Keto Chow is already mixed up and not the way you like it, just add more water!
Hey Chris, next time put the GoPro around your waist so we’re closer to the action! LOL #tallpeople
❤
Bacon bits??
Absolutely, sweet and salty is a winning combination.
What size shaker bottle do you use, 16oz/24?
A classic 28 OZ. Blenderbottle®
Sadly I don’t have one. Guess I will check out the web site.
I could not understand any of this ?
It seems like a good video but I’m not understanding the measurements?
I think for me it’s to many variety instructions. I have purchased several key Chow individual packets and I’m not really enjoying them. I’m a bit bummed.
I’m trying to experiment with them.

@@KetoChowUA-cam thank you
❤👍🏼👏
Bad fats are still bad fats on keto. Don't wait for death (a friend), or a scary increase in lab work - to find out ..
???
Would make me a buyer if you got rid of the artificial sweetener and or stevia. Yuck. Deal breaker for some of us.
You should check out the unsweetened CORE flavors and the Natural strawberry.
@@KetoChowUA-cam I'll do that! Thanks!
if you are making ice cream don't use butter. the texture is just bad.
Most of us agree that butter works great in the Ninja Creami.
