Banana Joe's great tasting banana chips are crispy and thin just like potato chips but much healthier for you. They are the perfect on-the-go healthy snack for kids and adults. Great to have in your bag, on your office desk or in your kid's lunch box.  Banana Joe uses a unique variety of bananas to make thinner and crispier chips than the usual plantain chips you can find. Although difficult to source, the gros michel variety is also sweeter, creamier and more flavorful than any other variety. They harvest, cook and package the bananas in the same day to preserve maximum freshnes
