No Dairy, No Added Sugars, All Natural Ingredients
Fresh ideas. Fresh fruit sorbet. 🍧✨
This semester, we partnered with UIUC students for their BUS301 project to bring new creativity to our social media. From strategy sessions to content creation, this BTS look captures the work behind the campaign they built for us.
And the best part? The campaign launches soon!👀
Based on this BTS sneak peek, what do you think the campaign will be? Drop your guesses below! ⬇️
✨WEST TOWN!✨ This crazy banana stand is EXPANDING and will officially be a vendor in starting THIS WEEKEND!
🥹We are so grateful
Banato began in a 3BR apartment kitchen in Noble Square which had 4 people living there
One of those said roommates told Jen to start a little popsicle business and the rest was history
So, in short, Banato is PROUD to be returning home and bringing our handmade pops / refreshers that use REAL fruit and low added sugar
We aspire to make healthy foods accessible to all people and teach communities about the joys fruits and vegetables
THANK YOU to our beautiful fans, customers, and supporters who have made our growth possible through the years. We 💛 you !
So, see you soon West Town! 💛🍌

⚽️🔥 Banato has always been about community first, and vending at ‘s tournament reminded us why
They’ve created something beautiful at the intersection of culture, futbol, and belonging
We’re grateful to share space with people who build with that same intention 🙏
Good things grow when good people come together. See you on the field!

✨Get Ready Chicago! Banato is coming BACK this summer for our 7TH Season!
See you in MAY! Our schedule will be dropping soon so stay tuned 💛
We have a lot of surprises in store so get ready for an epic year. Here are some fun throwbacks to our 2025 season

🥬 Three’s a crowd? Nah. Three’s a kimchi party.
We loved hosting our friends and .chicago in our kitchen for a day of community building, kimchi / kimbap making, impromptu karaoke-singing, and (of course) dancing
Kimchi is far more than a side dish — it’s a cornerstone of Korean identity, eaten at every meal and present on every table for thousands of years.
The tradition of making it, known as kimjang (김장), is a cherished communal ritual where families and neighbors gather each winter to prepare it together, a practice UNESCO recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage. More than just food, kimchi embodies the Korean values of community, resourcefulness, and a deep connection to the land.
Cheers to our beautiful friends and family Ajumma Rising and Pink Mu 💛🫰
