Our Story

My wife fell in love with waffles on a trip to Belgium in 2015. She loved them enough that she came home and started a waffle business out of our kitchen, which we named Waffle Queen. I remember pouring cups of sugar into the mixing bowl with dairy, then mixing it all with more sugar — the kind called flour.

Things changed when our kids started eating solid food. We found ourselves reluctant to give them waffles, and for my wife it was inconceivable to sell something we wouldn't give our own children. Waffle Queen sold her last waffle in 2023.

A couple of years later we were frustrated with the lack of good food options for kids. The only quick snack for our kids was another short-eats shop selling nothing that has no sugar (except water), and the only grab-and-go option in a supermarket was a pack of crisps and a sugary drink. We needed healthy options that were both convenient and affordable. If the market wasn't going to deliver them, we would have to make them ourselves.

Thus turned Waffle Queen into Keto Queen. Now Keto Queen is dedicated to developing healthier alternatives to the everyday foods that are slowly killing us, and our children. Our goal is to improve both lifespan and healthspan of our people, and give our children a better shot at their full potential.

Keto Queen's first product is the Omega-3 Mix: nothing but nuts and dried fruit. Our first commercial product is our range of nut milks in single-serve bottles, a first in Sri Lanka — a category that didn't previously exist, not even with imported brands. Our fruit juices are among the healthiest you can find, made with real fruit pulp (so the fibre stays in), and sweetened with sucralose and just one gram of organic coconut sugar.

We have a pipeline of other products in development so watch this space. And if you love our products enough, go tell someone about it!
