| 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!
