Ever wonder how you milk a Banana? Well what you get is an ancient African superfood recipe for dairy free bananamilk!

                                 


Used by the villagers in Africa for centuries it gave them a natural energy boost to make it through hot, bright, and sunny days. 

Hi indiegogo!

                                          

I'm Trendolyn, Chief Brand Advocate at Fresh Start Beverage Company. It is my passion to make yummy fruit, plant, and non-dairy beverages that make you smile. I helped create the world's first all-natural, heart healthy, banana-based beverage called BANANA WAVE®.

We at Fresh Start Beverage Company are on a mission to make Humanity, Healthy, Happy, and Strong one refrigerator at a time!

Now we are asking for your support to help us change the world and shake up the beverage industry. Our motto is Everyone deserves a FRESH START!

My buddy and co-founder Alkebulan created his ancestors recipe for non-dairy bananamilk right in his aunt's kitchen in Mobile, AL. He insisted that if we set out to make bananamilk a commercial product and it had to be all-natural. It took us almost three years to bring this soon to be award winning beverage to life. While we were having  a lot of fun making it we kept our ingredients simple. BANANA WAVE® consist of five superfoods, Bananas, Oats, Non-GMO soybeans, Flaxseed, Sunflower seeds, and we added Vitamins C & B12.

                                                

                  

After letting our family and friends try our creation they encouraged us to start our business and go for it. Fresh Start Beverage Company was born in 2013. We found a formulator and a reputable co-packer who is FDA approved to make our BANANA WAVE® bananamilk.

When we tasted the first batch of bananamilk in January 2014 we knew that we were on to something big. The taste was smooth, rich, creamy, filling, and reminded us of Banana bread or Banana pudding.  

Here are some of the many health benefits of BANANA WAVE®: 

  • Bananamilk provides 100% DV of Vitamin C. 
  • Bananamilk can be used as a pre & post workout beverage. It can also be used as a meal replacement due to its low fat and high quality calorie content.
  • Bananamilk is rich in Omega-3 (DHA) fatty acids which have been shown to have heart-healthy effects.
  • Bananamilk is lactose, gluten and dairy free.
  • Bananamilk is a natural energy booster, which sustains the body longer than caffeine or a sugary snack.
  • Bananamilk contains more potassium (about 330mg/240mL) than most       alternative milk beverages (240mg/240mL).
