Review: Keto & Co. Brownie Mix

I picked up some Brownie mix from Keto & Co. Didn’t tell my wife I was making it. She came down when it was about to come out of the oven and wanted to know if I was making cake. Not quite =)

Overall it’s super yummy. I’m glad I got two packages so I can make another since this first one only has one piece left (and we didn’t let the kids have any). It does require 1/2 cup oil (preferably melted coconut oil), water and two eggs. And it’s $11.50 per mix. The price is the only downside. You might be able to find a recipe that would give you similar results but for convenience it’s a win, literally took less than 5 minutes to make including pre-heating the oven, finding ingredients, finding a measuring cup and melting the coconut oil. The fact that it has coconut flour is a non-issue since it’s solid food and not a drink, makes all the difference in the world. Honestly it tastes like a regular brownie, though it is a bit “airy” and not as substantial as I remember brownies being (sue me, it’s been 18+ months since I had a brownie). My wife likes it too.

Keto Chow 1.5… ice cream?

This entry is part 130 of 139 in the series Ketogenic Soylent

The overwhelming consensus of Keto Chow 1.5 is

tastes like melted ice cream

I agree and decided to see what would happen if I tried making it back into ice cream. So I mixed up 6 meals worth of Cookies&Cream and put it into (one of) my ice cream makers. One of my daughters did a science experiment on salt/ice ratios for ice cream 2 years ago so I have the technique down solid (30+ rounds of ice cream will do that).

So, I think that Keto Chow has too much water in it to make ice cream. It would be fine for shaved ice or something but it turned out more like Ice Milk than Ice Cream. I put it into pint mason jars and into the freezer, once frozen you could easily see the clear ice. I later softened it and had my awesome wife try it out. She likes how it’s cold but has been letting it melt and drinking it – there are easier ways to make cold Keto Chow =)

Keto Chow 1.5 status update

This entry is part 129 of 139 in the series Ketogenic Soylent

Since posting about it last week the most frequent question I’ve gotten is “what flavors have switched over to 1.5 already?” Well, that depends on the size you’re talking about =) We have a large supply of samples that were made before the switch in all flavors but two that are still available – those will be 1.0.4 for a while. This includes the banana and butter cream toffee ones we still have. Although I can’t find those flavors anymore we still have samples available, I’ve even discounted them and entered inventory into the site so if you’re really wanting to grab some you can.

Anyhow, here are the size/flavors that are completely switched over to 1.5. You can request the ones that haven’t switched yet and we’ll try to make sure you get 1.5 (though I can’t guarantee we have all available in 1.5 yet).

Samples (1 meal) that are 1.5

  • Strawberry Blast
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter
  • Chocolate Fudge

Days (3 meals) that are 1.5

  • Strawberry Blast
  • Cookies and Cream
  • Chocolate Fudge

Weeks (21 meals) that are 1.5

  • Gourmet Vanilla
  • Rich Chocolate
