Question 1

Can you use unsweetened almo d milk I stead of oil or heavy cream?

Accepted Answer

You can, the problem with using almond milk is you'll end up with a shake that has very few calories. If you're looking to do PSMF or you are planning on getting the fat from other sources and just use the Keto Chow for protein and micronutrients. Anyway, if you're doing keto we recommend either heavy cream, or avocado oil - I'd check that one out.

Question 2

This has sucralose in it which is not keto friendly, how can you say its keto friendly?

Accepted Answer

First things first: there is some confusion between “Splenda” (that you buy at the grocery store) and pure sucralose. Splenda uses bulking agents so that you can “measure it like sugar.” Typically, this will be maltodextrin which is simply a carbohydrate and no good for a ketogenic or low-carb diet. The maltodextrin in store-bought Splenda will absolutely spike your blood sugar. Pure sucralose, with a glycemic index of zero, will not.

Secondly, even if it did have an effect on blood sugar, there is simply too little of it to have any effect. In Keto Chow, we use 0.08g per serving. To put that in perspective: that is 1/64 the weight of a US nickel. Even 0.08g of actual sugar will only raise your blood sugar by 0.32mg/dL – essentially no effect.

Question 3

Why did you use sucralose as a sweetener? Can’t you use healthier sugar substitutes as lakanto, erythritol, stevia? It was a deal breaker for me

Accepted Answer

The short answer is: because stevia doesn’t taste very good to the overwhelming majority of our taste testers. Ultimately, stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, or any other “natural sweeteners” are not magical and cause the same reactions in humans as anything else that’s sweet so why not use the best tasting option? We actually paid a 3rd party to do a blind taste test and they confirmed that Keto Chow with sucralose tastes “more natural” than products using Stevia, Erythritol, or Monk Fruit.

Erythritol and Allulose would seem a good choice but they DOUBLE the weight and volume of Keto Chow, instead of 21 meals you’d get 10 for the same price and shipping.
We do have the “Natural Strawberry” that does use monk fruit instead of sucralose. It costs more to produce and doesn’t taste as good (in my opinion).
We have the “Base Powder” version which you combine with your choice of flavored/sweetened protein powder – lets you use whatever you’d like. Want to use egg white protein with Stevia? Go for it! You’ll still get all of the vitamins and minerals you’d normally get with Keto Chow.
We have 4 savory soup flavors (you mix them hot!) that do not use any sweetener.

Question 4

How big is "a scoop" since one was unfortunately not provided, I have no idea and can only guess - I'm assuming 1/3 cup? Disappointing to have to ask.

Accepted Answer

Your best bet is to use a good scale to weigh the recommended serving size, which is 48.10 grams.  I think the scoop is between 1/3 and 1/2 of a cup, but weighing is the best way to be sure.
