Best avocado oils according to redditors

Sure! Here is what I personally do for that picture:

1. Weigh your Nutribullet cup & blade (or whatever blender you have). For example, the Nutribullet Rx 45 oz blender cup and the blade together weigh 720.5 grams.
   
   
2. Pour 375 grams of cold water in Nutribullet Rx 45 oz blender cup.
   
   
3. Add 5 packets of Splenda (Only because I’m using the Base Powder, which means I have to add my own sweetener) (And yes, I made the mistake of not knowing I needed to add sweetener a few times; my god that tasted awful.)
   
   
4. Add 70 grams of Keto Chow Base Powder (5 servings)
   
   
5. Add 150 grams of MyProtein Salted Caramel Together with the peanut butter, it will be roughly 25g protein for each of the 5 KC servings. (If you're using the pre-flavored Keto Chow, of course replace all of these 3 steps with just a single step of adding KC powder. Then re-calculate calories accordingly for how much avocado oil is needed.)
   
   
6. Add 104 grams of Chosen Foods Avocado Oil (Adjust this up or down depending on how many calories you want.)
   
   
7. Add 60 grams of Peter Pan Peanut Butter (200 calories per 32g serving) (Any peanut butter will do; this one is just cheap.) Note that this is less than 2 servings for 5 meals of Keto Chow. This helps to a) keep the net carbs and sugar down but b) still taste amazing!
   
   
8. Add another 375 grams of water on top of all the ingredients. Water on the bottom AND the top helps to blend really well. Blend it all up for a smooooooth silky texture.
   
   
9. I calculated everything so it would be exactly 2000 calories for 5 meals. So therefore, each meal is 400 calories. The macros per meal are 28.72g fat | 3.9g net carb | 25.85g protein | $2.60. Not bad for $2.60, right?
   
   
10. Now, as to how to pour it out so each serving is the same, as in the picture with all the nalgene bottles: Weigh the full blender and subtract the weight of the cup & blade alone (from step 1). For example, if my entire blender pitcher weighs 1870.5 grams, and the empty cup & blade weigh 720.5g, that means there is 1870.5 - 720.5 = 1150 grams of liquid. 2000 calories divided by 1150 grams of liquid = 1.74 calories per gram. If I want to measure out 400 calories, then that is just 400/1.74 = 230g liquid. So I measure 230g blended liquid into 4 containers. For the last one, I have to pour, add a little water to blender, close it, shake, pour it back in, repeat once more. I do this just to get every last calorie out! I also add 50-100g water to each nalgene bottle because I blend it a little thicker than I like just so that it fits in the Nutribullet. Then of course put the bottles in the fridge overnight like normal for easy grab and go in the morning.
    
    
11. Adjust the avocado oil (or any of the ingredients) however you like to match whatever calorie target you want. I want 400 calories per meal, but you might 450 or 500 or 600, etc.
    
    
12. [Edit]: To clarify, I only have 2 of these 5 meals per work-day Monday through Friday. I have one 400 calorie meal for breakfast, and one 400 calorie meal for lunch, Monday through Friday at work. I make 5 meals on Sunday (2000 calories) and that lasts me for Monday’s breakfast & lunch, Tuesday’s breakfast & lunch, and 1 leftover for Wednesday’s breakfast. I then blend 5 more KC meals on Tuesday night so that I have 1 more meal for Wednesday’s lunch, Thursday’s breakfast & lunch, and Friday’s breakfast & lunch. So then I have a total of 800 calories (actually 830 because of 2 fish oil capsules) before a normal physical keto food dinner each weeknight with my girlfriend since she likes to actually eat with me for dinner! (She DOES do KC for breakfast and lunch during the work-week too though, just like me, but she likes actually eating dinner!)
    
    Anyway, that's how I make my Keto Chow! It might seem like a lot of work. HOWEVER, doing it this way, I only have to do it twice per week, since that makes 10 meals and I only have it for breakfast/lunch during the work-week Monday through Friday. And once you make your Keto Chow in bulk in a blender, you won't go back. It's so silky smooth, and blended together with the peanut butter, mind-blowingly delicious! Pretty freaking amazing for $2.60 per meal! I have lost about 45 lb doing this and have almost 8% body fat. And I have the abs to prove it, thanks to Keto Chow! (NSFW!) ;)

Switching to Avocado Oil cut the smoke way, way down for me with no noticeable impact on taste. I've also used Walnut Oil with success, the key is a high smoke point.

http://www.amazon.com/Tourangelle-Avocado-Oil-16-9-Ounce/dp/B006K3RCPC

I bought a gallon of it off amazon. Works good. Wish i bought one of those dispenser heads like lotion bottles have for easier pours.

Baja Precious - Avocado Oil, 1 Gallon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MNTRVPS?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Make sure you find refined avocado oil. There is a lot of "virgin" avocado oil out there that has a significantly lower smoke point - around 375F. That stuff is great for your salad dressing, but not what you want for searing.

Example: Salad Sear

I don't endorse these particular brands, just the first examples I saw on Amazon

Edit: Added examples

I have been doing only avocado oil for more than a year after doing only HWC for nearly a year. Other than it not quite being as thick, I love it and for me its easier to track my macros. I also know I am not adding additional carbs, where with HWC, despite it showing 0 carbs, actually has carbs. I buy my avocado oil through amazon and never noticed a difference in taste.

Here's what I get...

https://www.amazon.com/Chosen-Foods-Hand-crafted-Avocado-33-8-oz/dp/B00RBTKRA6/

1. I use the following, in order of preference: butter (4tbsp), heavy whipping cream (1/3 cup), avocado oil (1/4 cup). All are great but butter is aweome.
   
2. If you order the weekly special (10% off) and grab 4 bags (5% off) you'll get both discounts. There are coupons out there occasionally as well. Without coupons it works out to 84 servings at $2.69 cents before your fat/oil source. If you go with Baja Precious avocado oil from Amazon, with subscribe and save it works out to $0.55 per serving. That's $9.70/day if you do 3 shakes. Now Ultra Omega 3 works out to $0.23 per day bring you to $9.93 per day.
   
3. Immersion blender is the way to go. I spent the first month using shaker/blender bottles. It's slow and doesn't always fully mix. Immersion blenders are super easy to clean and it takes me about 3 minutes (or less) to fully clean with hot water and dish soap.
   
   I use a gallon pitcher, add (1.5 cups avocado oil or 2 cups of Darigold heavy whipping cream or 24 tablespoons of melted Kerrygold Irish Grass Fed salted butter), 6 scoops of ketochow, fill it 3/4 of the way full with water, give it 60 seconds with the immersion blender, let it sit for 2 minutes, and do another 60 seconds with the immersion blender. Then it goes into 6 bottles which is good for 2 days worth. I usually do 3 pitchers for 18 total servings, or 6 days.
   
   I normally don't need anything else to get me through the day, but I keep extra stuff in the refrigerator if do need a snack, or I'll replace one of my Ketochow servings with a combo of bacon, eggs, cheese, and veggies.
   
   I am lazy AF so I also regularly visit Costco and buy bags of Babybel cheese minis (regular, white cheddar, and light), packages of Kirkland precooked bacon, and boxes of Kirkland peeled hard boiled eggs. I also buy cauliflower, broccoli, and avocados for snacks. I'll occasionally grab a few rotisserie chickens, cut them in half while they're still warm, and refrigerate them, and have half as a meal when I'm craving something more substantial than Ketochow. 350f for 30 minutes heats them up perfectly.
   
   I recommend https://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ to figure out your macros and deficits and cronometer.com to track your dailies.
   
   I've lost 31 pounds in just under 3 months eating mostly just 3 ketochow servings a day with a few supplements (omega 3, magnesium, fiber capsules). Started at 210 and I'm now 179 (46m, 5'10", goal weight 170, possibly 160).
   
   The only downside I've encountered is having to buy a bunch of sealed bottles (and having to wash them).

This is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/Chosen-Foods-Hand-crafted-Avocado-33-8-oz/dp/B00RBTKRA6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1519897523&sr=8-1&keywords=avocado%2Boil&refinements=p_89%3AChosen%2BFoods&th=1

Been getting mine in gallon sizes from amazon for months now, definitely food grade. I use a mix of 50/50 of avocado and almond oil.

I use the Chosen Foods brand avocado oil. I'm still on my first bottle and never tried anything else, but I will say that this bottle never gave off any odd smells or flavors. https://www.amazon.com/Chosen-Foods-100-Pure-Avocado/dp/B00K4QF4HO/ref=pd_sbs_325_4/142-5358289-7768753?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00K4QF4HO&pd_rd_r=0059f3e7-ab5d-49da-aafd-afd04aa1bccb&pd_rd_w=gFfzl&pd_rd_wg=hPhQI&pf_rd_p=d66372fe-68a6-48a3-90ec-41d7f64212be&pf_rd_r=14ZNRCAJ3XHJ2B3E3Q25&psc=1&refRID=14ZNRCAJ3XHJ2B3E3Q25

​

Here's what I do (indoors mind you). I put the steak (still in the bag) in the freezer for 10-15 mins. I take my cast iron pan and put a little bit of avocado oil in the pan and wipe it around with a paper napkin. That's it. Put the stove on High and wait until the pan registers 500F using a laser thermometer (the cheap ones off amazon). Remove steak from bag and dry thoroughly with paper napkins and place directly on the pan with no additional oil. Heat one side for 1 minute, flip, and add a 1/4 stick of KerryGold butter along with some rosemary and garlic cloves and spoon it on the steak once the butter melts (fast!). After 1 minute, I'll flip one more time to spoon the butter on the other side of the steak and remove. For additional steaks, I do not put any more avocado oil in the pan.

Only use oils that are made for high smoking points. Also, check for expeller pressed oils (hexane is not used in this process). I use Avocado oil for high heat cooking. Here is the amazon link.

Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil 1 L, Non-GMO, for High-Heat Cooking, Frying, Baking, Homemade Sauces, Dressings and Marinades https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K4QF4HO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_YzVYDbWQDRR8A

I was gifted a bottle of chosen foods cold pressed avocado oil. Advertises a smoke point of 260°C (Or 500°F) and it does a bang up job. Seems to be resilient than the coconut oil we were using before.

Costco sells very good quality avocado oil at reasonable price. Or you can get it online from Amazon. Here's two links to decent oil that is well priced:

https://www.amazon.com/Baja-Precious-Avocado-Oil-Gallon/dp/B00MNTRVPS

https://www.amazon.com/Kevala-Avocado-Oil-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B00ATAI4HC

This is the one I got
Kevala Avocado 1/2 Gallon (Refined) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A82QFDG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XsogAbPQSVMMT

Massimo Gusto Avocado Oil isn't that much more expensive than olive oil (and it tastes fantastic). It's one of my favorite oils for cooking with. I've almost completely relegated the olive oil to salads at this point.

Buy avocado oil in bulk. It's a monounsaturated fat, has a super high smoking point, is flavor neutral, and as a fat, has a very high calorie content.

https://www.amazon.com/Baja-Precious-Avocado-Oil-Gallon/dp/B00MNTRVPS/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=avocado+oil&qid=1565468450&s=gateway&sr=8-15

Yes, 43 bucks for oil seems like a lot, but it should last you a LONG time, and that price is minuscule compared to what you'd pay in your local grocery store for avocado oil (or any good oil, for that matter).

Also, if you want salmon, look into getting the frozen stuff from Aldi's.

Close, it's $45 on Amazon but I only use about half of it at a time and that half lasts for months with only occasional use (I strain and store it in a jar after it's cooled). A single gallon is good for me (and spouse) for roughly a year.

the pan was more than hot enough to sear the meat, even 500 is so hot it's gonna smoke beef fat, a great kitchen tool is a cheap infrared thermometer you can use to measure pan heat with

if you want to add oil be sure to use one with a very high smoke point, I use this but you can get cheaper avocado oils that are just fine for cooking

that said it's gonna be smoky no matter what you do, you can alway put a ziploc over your smoke detector if you need

I bought the Kevala one for $5 cheaper (though the prices on these sorts of things fluctuate)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ATAI4HC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also use this bottle to pour (though I made the mistake of not paying too close attention and spilling probably 10 oz of it because the funnel was slowly backing up and then very rapidly filled the entire bottle to the brim (with a ton still in the funnel)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074KXV9N7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's not cheap, but it's not hard to find.

Here you go.

Really simple solution. If the protein intake is already adequate, just add your own fats for as much extra calories as you want. 15ml = 125ish calories. Add 1-2 servings of those to each of your shakes.

Avocado oil or Heavy cream (depending on your taste/texture preferences) is the general recc. Butter is also an option if that is more to your taste. You will have to experiment. A combination of those is also something to try, like avocado + heavy cream.

Olive oil is the less expensive option.

I hear Macadamia oil and Hemp oil are good but they also have a much stronger taste and hemp is more expensive.

I can link to best prices for bulk quantities (4-7lbs) of any of the oils if you're interested. I spent a bunch of time on this building my own DIY keto soylent.

These are food grade, this company is also "Colombus Oils" which is a food seller. They have hemp and macadamia as well.

The Baja Precious gallon bottle seems to be the best, although I have not tried it. I'm using their sweet almond oil gallon though, which is really great. A little cheaper.

For the avocado oil, I use the brand Olivado. You can usually find this one in the grocery store where all the regular cooking and olive oils are.

I like using the sweet almond oil the best from Aura Cacia. I believe this brand has an avocado oil also. This brand's oils are usually in the skin care aisle of the organic/natural section of grocery stores. If you can't find it there, the brand may also be at a local health food/organic store!

Honestly everything as of late.

Eggs in the morning, meats/veggies, you name it.

Also I found La Tourangelle on Amazon has great prices on all their oils.
