Gone bananas

Written by 

The latest plant product expected to lead a retail revolution in Colorado, US, isn't green — it's yellow.

Trying to make up for poor sales of cow and soy milk, WhiteWaveFoods, Denver, is stocking its Colorado, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio stores with a devious concoction -- banana milk.

Sir Bananas, the product's cute moniker, is a blend of 2% milk and banana that boasts 7g of protein per serving. It's also available in a chocolate banana flavor, for those who prefer milk other than in its natural state.
