- You’ll know you’re done shaking when liquid doubles in volume, filling the jar.

- Scoop out and enjoy. Add non-dairy milk to thin and re-shake if needed. Serves 3-4.
Why Make Keto Zone® Mason Jar Chocolate Collagen Shake Instead of Buying a Shake
In case you didn’t notice, this is no ordinary chocolate shake. The average store-bought or restaurant shake has 250 calories and over 20 grams sugar per 1/2 cup (2 grams fiber, 21 grams sugar)! Ingredients can include:
cream, liquid sugar (sugar, water), skim milk, water, cocoa (processed with alkali), wheat flour, sugar, soybean oil, brown sugar, egg yolks, chocolate liquor, cocoa, honey, guar gum, cocoa butter, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda, natural flavors, soy lecithin, carrageenan
The ingredients that stand out are 3 types of sugar, and soybean oil.
How Conventional Shake Ingredients Harm Health
First, sugar. Not only can overeating sugar cause elevated blood glucose, insulin resistance, weight gain, inflammation, and high triglycerides, it’s now linked to elevated health risk for women (1).
In fact, sugars in liquid form are the quickest sugars through the digestive tract and have the most potential for destruction.
Next, soybean oil is one of the most detrimental ingredients found in our commercial food supply. It can cause declines in:
- Metabolic Health: Lab studies show soybean oil is one of the most detrimental foods to metabolic health (2).
- Cardiovascular Health: Soybean oil has been shown to cause harmful abnormalities in cholesterol and triglycerides (3).
- Overall Health and Inflammation: Many studies have concluded that concentrated sources of omega-6 fats increase inflammation in the body (4).
How Keto Zone® Chocolate Collagen Shake Promotes Wellbeing
Opposed to eating harmful, sugary ingredients, our Mason Jar Chocolate Collagen Shake contains real foods to improve your health. These ingredients include:
- cacao
- collagen
- mct oil powder
- cinnamon
In fact, the healthy fats and amino acids are nutrition superstars!
Keto Zone® Shake Healthy Fats and Collagen
The Keto Zone® Chocolate Collagen Shake is made with Keto Zone MCT Oil Powder and Keto Zone Collagen powder. These powders contain amazing healthy fats and amino acids that promote health in the human body from head to toe. These include:
- MCT Oil: MCT oil is one of the best fats for ketosis. It is quickly digested, used for ketones, and provides many health benefits.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen: Collagen promotes ligament, joint, skin, and digestive health.
There are many benefits of including enough healthy fats in your diet including:
- Having the right nutrients to get into ketosis. Although your body will enter ketosis anytime you consume very little carbohydrates, it will do so more efficiently when adequate fats are present in the diet.
- Weight loss without hunger. Fats help you feel full and satisfied, even when losing weight (5).
- More abdominal fat loss. When carbohydrates are replaced with fats, people lose more abdominal fat. This is great news since abdominal fat is associated with heart disease and other chronic conditions (6, 7).
- Improved health once in ketosis. Ketosis provides many health benefits including improved cholesterol ratios, reduced dangerous triglycerides, optimal blood sugars and insulin, improved brain and eye health, and reduced inflammation.
- Ketones that are brain fuel. Not only does high-fat, Keto Zone eating provide brain fuel that improves focus and clarity, it also has neuroprotective properties (8).
In addition, collagen has been found to improve skin elasticity and health, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, increase skin hydration, and support joint health (9, 10).
Bottom Line
Sure, you could opt for soybean oil and sugar in your chocolate shake. But, why? You’ve got an amazing opportunity to nourish your body with healthy fats, collagen and ingredients that encourage healthy weights, systems, and lifestyle. Take it! Make Keto Zone® Chocolate Collagen Shake all summer long!
