OUR STORY

Why and how we got started by Drive Me Bananas founder (Lara) ....

During new-hire orientation at one of my previous jobs, I was told by a

tenured employee to expect to gain 10lbs during my first year. I laughed

at the comment and thought to myself, No way! How is that even possible?!

I soon found out that staying healthy at work is difficult at best. Besides

the long hours, processed snacks seemed to be everywhere. Bowls of

candy, leftover pizza and cake in the breakroom, donuts and homemade

cookies at the front desk...you get the picture.

Drive Me Bananas was born out of the desire to help change how and what

we eat at work and make it easier to stay healthy. Our goal is to make

fresh fruit at work as easily accessible as the ubiquitous office candy bowl.

So on those days when you get to the office extra early and need something

to eat or it is 2pm and you desperately need a snack, you will have a variety

of great tasting natural fresh fruit available.

Enjoy!
