Our Story
Sweet, Simple, and Built from Real Life
Keto & Green started with a very real problem.
I’m Kristina, and I started Keto & Green with my husband, Merlin. We love food. But when I was eating keto and vegan, finding food that fitted how I ate and that I really looked forward to eating could be tricky.
It wasn’t just about what I could have. It was about enjoying it.
Sweetness was one of the things I missed most. So that’s where we started.
Coffee in the morning.
Yoghurt bowls.
Something sweet after dinner.
We wanted a way to keep enjoying those small rituals while cutting back on sugar. But many of the options we found came with ingredients we weren’t looking for.
That’s when we found monk fruit.
Naturally very sweet and used in tiny amounts, it felt like it could solve exactly the problem we were trying to fix.
But most of the monk fruit products we came across were blended with other ingredients such as erythritol or stevia. We wanted something simpler.
Just monk fruit + water.
Something that felt at home in the pantry and like real food.
Merlin, who has long been connected to food culture in Asia, began working directly with suppliers to source monk fruit from Guangxi, the traditional growing region for monk fruit cultivation.
We wanted the product itself to stay simple.
Our Monk Fruit Drops are made with monk fruit and water, creating a naturally sweet food ingredient that can be used a few drops at a time.
No erythritol. No stevia. No fillers. No preservatives. No artificial sweeteners.
We bottle our Monk Fruit Drops ourselves. We use them in our own kitchen, experiment with recipes and share what we learn. And when you have a question about the drops or how to use them, we’re here to help.
Keto & Green is about helping people find more enjoyment and possibility in everyday food, in ways that fit how they choose to eat.
For us, that starts in the kitchen: finding useful ingredients, trying new ideas and making room for the foods and rituals we love.
Sweetness was our starting point. Our Monk Fruit Drops give people another way to enjoy it while reducing sugar. Over time, we want to bring that same practical, food-led approach to more of everyday eating, through pantry products, recipes and helpful tools.
We’re starting with something small: a few drops in a favourite drink. But the ambition has always been about enjoying food.
Today, Keto & Green holds a 5-star food hygiene rating, and our Monk Fruit Drops have also undergone independent product analysis and label review through Hampshire Trading Standards.
Reduce sugar without giving up sweetness.
