Healthier Eats: Banán

Matt Hong, one of the co-founders of Banán, tells us how it all got started.  For those of you who don’t know,  Banán is a healthier alternative to ice cream or frozen yogurt made from bananas!  It is a great option for those of us who are lactose-intolerant and much more nutritious!
