UK start-up Katie's Food Co. is looking to revolutionize snacking with its new Banana Crisps—a healthier alternative to traditional chips that are 100% natural, vegan, and completely free of both dairy and gluten.
Katie Grennall, the brand's founder, decided to venture into the industry after noticing a gap in the market for delicious and functional options for health-conscious consumers. With this in mind, she went to work developing great-tasting chips that provide a slow energy release and provide a full serving of fruit.
The Banana Crisps are offered in four flavors, which include Thai Sweet Chilli, Mixed Herb, Salt & Vinegar, and Himalayan Salt. Katie's Food Co.'s products can be found online, as well in-stores from a variety of participating retailers.
