Making Keto Ice Cream With A Meal Replacement Shake

Keto Chow Meal Replacement Shake as Keto Ice Cream

I eat ice cream almost daily while still following a low carb/keto food plan. Not just a lousy half a cup either. A whole pint! Two cups of bliss! Ice cream was always my downfall when following any diet. I can never resist it. Even though in recent years it is not as good as I remember previously. Too many chemicals have been added to it. Just read the label! What kind of concoction is it anyway? Yes, every now and then I am tempted by it and buy some. At first it tastes really good but soon it reminds why I don't eat it. Makes me feel pretty bad even though the taste seems to be okay. I am the type of person who can eat ice cream all year long. Even in the dead of winter with below zero temperatures I still want my ice cream. 

My Keto Chow Delivery!

The trouble with the low carb and keto ice creams sold in the store is first of all they are expensive. Next a serving is very small. Some are half a cup and some are even smaller. No way is that going to satisfy me! About 4 years ago, I discovered a keto replacement shake on a channel I followed on YouTube. It is called Keto Chow. A catchy name I know! When I saw people making it into ice cream I knew I had to try it. Well, try it I did and I have been addicted to it ever since. It is more than a protein shake though many people drink it as that. It can also be used to make main dishes, soups (especially their recipe for pumpkin sausage soup!), snacks, desserts, including cookies, fudge, pies, cakes, biscuits and many more. They have their recipes posted on their website so you can find whatever you need. 

Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker

I started out with a Cuisanart ice cream maker. The kind you have to freeze the container before you put the shake in it. I did not enjoy that one so much. I struggled with it for the sake of having ice cream. Then the Ninja Creami appeared on the scene. What a difference that made! Trouble was that it was a bit pricey for me. Then on Keto Chow's YouTube channel, Chris Bair, the founder of Keto Chow along with his wife Miriam, mentioned a website called Woot. He said they had the Ninja Creami for about $100. It is a site that sells used items that are reconditioned. I took a chance and paid a little over a hundred for it because I had to pay for shipping. It is a Very Heavy piece of equipment! 

Rabbit didn't even open his eyes when I ran the new Ninja Creami!

Once it was delivered, I had to get brave enough to use it. From many YouTube videos I was aware of how loud it is. Louder than a vacuum cleaner! I had a bunny living in my apartment and they do not appreciate loud noises. Finally one day I had to try it..............my bunny did not even open his eyes! After that he was used to the noise of the Ninja Creami and so was I. It turns my Keto Chow shakes into the best creamy ice cream you could want. I cannot remember what the first flavors I bought were but it was incredible. I have since, bought every flavor that is available. Not a bad one in the bunch. I am not crazy about the new vanilla cream or their Core products. Other than those, I buy different ones on a regular basis. It is worth every cent to me. 

Keto Chow Butterscotch in 1 Serving Packets

Keto Chow is available in large bags but I prefer the small packets of one serving. That way I have a larger variety. Keto chow does not add any fat into their product. You have to do that and if you don't add any fat you will not get the nutritional benefit from the vitamins and minerals. I add melted butter to mine with warm water in the blender. Then add the rest of the water at room temperature with the Keto Chow and anything else you may want to include. Keto Chow is formulated to provide a person with all the vitamins and minerals that they need from one meal. A third of the daily requirements based on them having three meals a day. I look forward to it every day!

Keto Chow Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami

 

The Ninja Creami has definitely changed my life! I had bought a Cuisinart ice cream maker last year. Not even a year ago. It worked good and I probably would have been satisfied with that one if I didn't want to be making ice cream almost daily. Since giving up eating sugar and high carbs ice cream was the one thing I missed the most. Living so close to the store I would buy two packages at a time and sometimes that was all I ate for the day! Something had to change. I know I can't do the sugar, not to mention all the other ingredients in a carton of ice cream. Low carb or keto ice cream is sky high in price and a serving is half a cup. Half a cup??? Who in their right mind eats half a cup of ice cream????

Enter Keto Chow! A low-carb meal replacement shake that supplies you with protein, fiber, essential vitamins and minerals for a third of your daily requirements. Not only is it good for you, but it tastes good too! I have been using it almost daily since last fall. Usually as a shake or pudding which is how many people use it. As good as it was, it was even better as ice cream. 

Ice cream frozen to inside bowl ~ Cuisinart

I saw many people in the various keto groups and sites I go to raving about the Ninja Creami ice cream maker. It couldn't be that good could it? I was not making ice cream very often with the Cuisinart ice cream maker. I had to wait hours for it to soften up in the ice cream maker bowl to get the rest of it out. I did not like trying to scrape every drop of ice cream off the sides.  I already own a Ninja coffee maker and it is the best I have ever had. So I took the plunge and bought the Ninja Creami. 

After hearing about how loud it is I started worrying about using it in my apartment with other tenants next to me and across the hall. I worried my house bunny, Rabbit would die of fright. Some people said it sounded like a jet taking off! I finally took a chance. Yes, it is super loud but not as loud as a chainsaw or an electric drill. I think my vacuum food saver and vacuum cleaner are louder. Neither one bothers my bunny. I turned it on and watched him. He was listening and on alert (I could tell by his ears) but did not run or get scared. I then went out into the hall and it was not loud out there at all. I didn't want my neighbors complaining because I planned on using it every day.

It is loud because it is working hard churning its way through the frozen keto chow. I usually hit re-spin twice and it comes out exactly the way I like it. You can add various extra ingredients on the mix-in option. Such as heavy cream, chocolate chips, nuts, cookies, fruit, candy, etc. Sometimes I add some heavy cream or DaVinci's sugar-free syrup. 

The Ninja Creami can be used with any ice cream recipe you want to use. It is not for sugar-free, low carb or keto foods only. You can use any brand of shake or even use ice cream to make a milkshake. Fruit can be used for sorbet. So what this machine is capable of is much more than I have even explored. Right now it is supplying me with sugar-free ice cream that is healthy and tastes good. Keto Chow has many flavors so I have a large variety of ice cream available to me. In this hot weather having a constant supply of healthy ice cream is a good idea!

Keto Replacement Shakes Are Very Helpful

 

What if I told you there is a product that will help you enjoy your keto lifestyle more? A product that will have you looking forward to it every day? How about drinking a shake for one of your meals daily? Not any old shake! Not like the ones you have had in the past. I know those replacements meals of the past. I once lost 30 pounds drinking Slim Fast myself. Of course my husband at that time, had just dumped me for an over the hill topless dancer so maybe that had something to do with it. 

1993

Having worked for a good part of my life as a Certified Nursing Assistant, a home health aide and a personal care aide, I know how hard it was to get my patients to drink the replacement meal drinks they were given. If you have ever tasted one, then you know what I mean. Just read the ingredients listed on the back and you will understand why. I would never drink one of those now. Getting enough protein is difficult. I know this because it was become my daily mission in life. To get enough protein every day. My goal is 140 grams of protein a day but I have difficulty hitting that.

Welcome Keto Chow! Around November of last year I started buying a replacement meal drink called Keto Chow. I have not looked back since! It was exactly what I wanted and needed. I drink one shake a day for one of my meals. It is tasty and I look forward to it eagerly. It supplies one third of your daily vitamins and minerals in one shake. It was the game changer for me. Ever since I started using it I have stopped starting and stopping my keto food plan over and over again. It has become my lifestyle for sure now. 

When you make a Keto Chow shake you have to add a fat to it so you will absorb the vitamins and minerals properly. I use melted butter in mine because it is less carbs than the heavy cream. You can use whatever fat you like but you really need to add a fat. It can be avocado or coconut oil (melt it first), heavy cream, cream cheese, ghee, butter (melt it first) or whatever you want. Just remember a keto food plan is not lowfat, so have the fat in it. The fat keeps you satisfied and not hungry all day.

 

I was doubtful when I first ordered it but thought I would give it a try. After all my favorite Keto YouTube channel, Steve from Serious Keto did a review on it and said it tasted good. I always believe him because he is pretty honest. It can be used in many recipes as well as the shakes. So if there is something you are missing they probably have a recipe for it. Or one of the YouTubers have it on their channel. My first shake and I was excited! The first flavor I tried was Snickerdoodle and it remains one of my favorites. But to be honest, I truly love them all. 

I like to add a bit of beef gelatin to it so it will be thicker for pudding and adds more protein. I add collagen peptides for the health benefits too. Since I am a slow eater, the pudding makes it last longer and is more enjoyable. I drink it as shake when I am in a hurry for something to eat. I make three at a time and store them in the refrigerator for at least overnight. They are much better that way. Some people like them hot and include their coffee as the liquid instead of water or a nut milk. It is also popular to use the shakes to make ice cream. I bought an ice cream maker and do that also. Figuring once the warm weather is here I will be missing ice cream. Not now!

They have many different flavors and some savory ones also. I have used those to make soup. I cannot say enough good things about Keto Chow products and the company itself. It is a company that really cares about their customers and go out of their way for them. If you would like to try these go to Serious Keto's YouTube channel and there is a discount coupon for ten percent off your purchase. I am not an affiliate of Keto Chow, just a VERY satisfied customer!
