WE’RE MORE THAN SUGAR-FREE

While going sugar-free is healthier than not, it falls short for those having to manage diabetes or for those on a low carbohydrate (low carb) or keto (ultra low carb) journey for health reasons, as many sugar-free products in the market still contain substantial amounts of carbs that would spike blood sugar levels. More than being sugar-free, we carefully craft our products to be ultra low in carbs.

SO MORE CAN ENJOY TOGETHER

This means those who need to watch their sugar and carb intakes can enjoy our products without worry. Those who do not need or want to can also enjoy them without experiencing sugar rushes or crashes and associated health risks. 👍🏼

WE’RE NOT ULTRA HIGH FAT

There is this common misunderstanding that keto compliant products are super high in fat content… nowhere near the truth! 😂 Being keto compliant primarily means being sugar-free and ultra low in net carb (the carbs that will get absorbed into the body, minus the fibers and the sweeteners) content. While higher in fat by percentage, our products aren’t much fattier than their premium mainstream cousins. We rock more protein in fact! This means our ice creams and waffles are not only good for the health conscious – they’re good for everyone and anyone! 😉 

SWEET, BUT NOT SO SWEET

The typical amount of sugar used in mainstream ice creams and gelatos (they are very different by the way! Ask us if you want to know!) is between 17% to 19% of the product’s overall composition. Imagine a tub of ice cream and one-fifth of it being sugar. 😱  Asian tastebuds sit at around 12% to 14%; we have opted to keep our products at a “not so sweet” level of 12% equivalence to enhance flavors, combining compliant sweeteners and natural sweetness from the ingredients we use. If you prefer them sweeter or less sweet next time, let us know. 👍🏼

PREMIUM INGREDIENTS USED

We create our own blend of sweeteners consisting of allulose and monkfruit extract for our ice creams and sweet waffles; both of them spot a glycemic index (GI) of zero, meaning they have little or no impact on blood sugar. Many diabetic and keto “friendly” products in the market use maltitol as the sweetener for it’s low price point; we do not use it as there have been many reports of it spiking blood sugar levels in individuals. Other premium ingredients we use include cocoa butter, MCT, coconut and olive oils.

THEREFORE HIGH COST PRICES…

Our sweetener blend alone costs at least 10 times more than sugar for the same amount; the abovementioned oils are amongst the most expensive. We do not outsource our production; all our ice creams and waffles are artisanally and laboriously crafted in small batches. Our overall cost prices are therefore easily a couple times more than mainstream ones.

… BUT MAINSTREAM PRICING STILL

We decided to peg prices to be similar to mainstream premium boutiques so healthier and ultra premium (by quality) can be affordable. But this means overall we earn much less per sale comparatively as we absorb the costs.

CONSIDER SUPPORTING US

We have seen similar businesses rise and fall in Singapore because of lack of support, partially also because of the exorbitant pricing that not many can stomach on a regular basis. We have thus decided to set our price points such that while we don’t bleed money, we would need a decent constant amount of sales to keep us going. We trust in the quality of our products; now it’s matter of getting them out. 😋

We hope that you would consider journeying with us as we contribute to our nation’s fight against diabetes, obesity and a host of other diseases stemming from the excess consumption of carbs and sugars.

Joy’s ours to be delighting you the sugar-free and ultra low carb way! ☺🙏🏼
