Spotlight Bananas - Blue

The Diana’s Story

From a humble start at street festivals to our mission to make the world’s best frozen bananas, we’ve learned a lot.

A whole bunch of fun.
A whole bunch of fun.

What started as a quick snack at street festivals all over Chicago quickly evolved into a sleeper hit. When one local came back to load up a full cooler, we knew we had hit gold—so we started to get serious. Our creation had mass a-peel.

A fresh idea.

With our new business quickly developing, we had one goal: make the world’s best chocolate-dipped frozen banana. Our first step? Find the best bananas. So we went straight to the source—farmers in Ecuador. The difference that a freshly-picked banana made for our Banana Babies was clear. That’s why even today, all our fruits are always fresh frozen.

Adding a little indulgence.

But the banana was just the start. We began doing tests—more than 220 different tests, in fact. Eventually, we stumbled on the right combination of chocolate dip, frozen banana, and stick. Our new Banana Babies were born. A creamy frozen banana, covered in premium chocolate that didn’t crack like other coatings—and a stick to hold it all together.

Coming to fruition.

With the world’s best chocolate-dipped frozen banana in stores around the country, we saw a new challenge. We wanted to make simple food that’s tasty, not trendy. We knew fresh frozen fruit with indulgent flavors would keep kids happy and parents even happier. So we forged ahead.

Going bananas.

These days, we’re making new strides. We’ve created Banana Bites—morsel-sized mouthfuls of banana and chocolate. And we’ve added a whole new layer to the world’s best chocolate-dipped frozen banana with Double Dipped Banana Babies. And we’ve got a whole bunch of exciting new foods coming to stores soon. So keep an eye peeled.
