Label all the things!

This entry is part 53 of 139 in the series Ketogenic Soylent

Previously I had one Keto Chow recipe and made one label for all the different flavors of Keto Chow, I would just change the big text at the top with the name of the flavor. Now I’ve done gone and made a recipe for each and every one of the flavors because there is a slight variance in net carbs, protein and other nutrients between the flavors.

I also made a new label for each one with the nutrition information correct for each flavor. They’re all linked to the various flavors in the shop, select a flavor and you’ll see the info.

In case you are curious, here are the differences (per day) for the various flavors:

Tested new foil bags, we have a winner

I got in the new foil bags I ordered. They’re shorter and wider than the other ones I was testing. They will fit easier into my boxes and are easier to scoop out of. I ordered a bunch today and will start using them for all orders going out as soon as I exhaust my supply of the taller bags.

Had a bit of a flavor party last night

This entry is part 38 of 139 in the series Ketogenic Soylent

I ordered a bunch of 2 lb tubs of the various flavors and mixed them up into Keto Chow last night: Chocolate Fudge, Pina Colada, Smooth Banana, Cookies and Cream and the staple Chocolate Mint, Strawberry and Vanilla.

Bunch Of FlavorsNot pictured is “Rich Chocolate” – I got the 10 lb bag of that one. I then mixed Rich Chocolate, Pina Colada and Smooth Banana up in blender bottles for today’s food. I did a quick taste test this morning. The Rich Chocolate is significantly more chocolaty than the mint chocolate (like really, really chocolate). The Pina Colada tastes like what it is: Pineapple and Coconut. The Smooth Banana is a bit odd: It mixed up really thin, almost like there’s no xanthan gum in it. It doesn’t look like I messed up on mixing the powder but I’m going to try doing a smaller 1-day batch tonight to double check. It could be it’s got some enzyme or something in it that prevents the xanthan gum from thickening it up. It still tastes good.

EDIT: So I planned to drink the rich chocolate for breakfast and somehow grabbed the banana instead. Drank it. Yes it’s still not quite as thick as the other flavors but it’s not as thin as I thought it was, I don’t think it’s going to be an issue.

Added some Keto Chow sample flavors

In addition to the 3 flavors I normally stock, there are 8 other flavors you can get as a special order. There have been several requests for samples of these, so I’m going to work on that. Today I added samples of Butter Cream Toffee and Cinnamon Bun. Unlike the other samples, I’m going to be managing the stock levels so the page will tell you how many of that flavor I have left. I expect to slowly add most of the other flavors as time and budget allows.

Changing stuff around here

Hey, got a new theme going on the site. I installed it to try to figure out what the deal was with product reviews not showing up correctly but I decided to keep it.

I added “CreditCard” as a payment option, using Swipe for the back end. So now there are three options: bitcoin, credit card and PayPal.

 

The big change… I’m cutting back on mixing People Chow, I’m concentrating on Keto Chow. It’s what I personally use and I feel Keto Chow is better tasting, better mouth feel and frankly better nutrition. It’s a bit of a long story. the short version is: I’m still doing subscription orders of People Chow; if people want to keep one active, I’m going to keep making it for them. I’m not doing the samples or the regular “buy one week” anymore though.

The creator of the People Chow recipe (MaxK) is going to be launching his own site (hopefully) soon and I’m going to be deferring to him, I have enough Keto Chow orders to keep me crazy busy. Unfortunately I haven’t heard much from him in the last few days so I’m not sure what the status of his new site is. Ideally people looking to try People Chow 3.0.1 (and the long rumored 4.0 Max has been working towards) will be able to get it from him.

UPDATE: I still haven’t heard anything from MaxK about him launching a new place> to order People Chow. To re-cap briefly: I stopped mixing people chow for new customers and am only sending it to existing subscribers. In my opinion Keto Chow is way better than People Chow, even if you’re not going full-bore with a ketogenic diet. I still have great videos showing how to mix your own People Chow. So where can you get People Chow if you still want to order some pre-mixed? Here are a few sources:

Additional Flavors for Keto Chow

This entry is part 31 of 139 in the series Ketogenic Soylent

The flavored protein I’m using for Keto Chow comes in more than the 3 flavors I’m going to keep stocked so I added an option to special order any of the other available flavors. It does cost $15 more than the chocolate mint, strawberry or vanilla since I have to get a tub of that flavor just for the one order; and it may add an additional 2-5 days to the time it takes to get your stuff but hey, you’ve got the option if you’re so inclined. The other flavors are:

  • “Butter Cream Toffee”
  • “Cafe Mocha”
  • “Chocolate Fudge”
  • “Cinnamon Bun”
  • “Cookies & Cream”
  • “Pina Colada”
  • “Rich Chocolate”
  • “Smooth Banana”

I grabbed some Cookies and Cream and some Butter Cream Toffee to test and both are good (who am I kidding? the Cookies and Cream is better than any I’ve tasted until now, it’s crazy good).
