Yonanas Frozen Dessert Maker Review

Yonanas is the Frozen Dessert Maker With a Healthy Twist!

The Yonanas was one of the last items to arrive at my front door for the Holiday Gift Guide and I must say I was VERY intrigued by this little kitchen machine!

The idea of making healthy and low-calorie “ice-cream” was almost too good to be true! But, with the Yonanas frozen dessert maker— it can be done! I think this is great for anyone who is health conscious, is watching their weight or just wants to incorporate more fruits into their diet. What a great gift idea for any mother with small children! Or for grandparents to enjoy with their grand kids!

The Yonanas frozen dessert maker makes an “ice-cream-type” dessert by blending frozen bananas with other frozen fruits. You need to peel the bananas and freeze them for at least 24 hours before making the frozen dessert. It is best to use bananas that are very ripe or “cheeta spotted”. These bananas have a high sugar content and will result in a delicious “gelato-type” frozen dessert.

Here are the parts to the Yonanas machine –it’s pretty simple.

It also comes with a Recipe Guide — just to get you started. This little cookbook has 22 great recipes including Strawberry Yonanas, Coffee Chocolate Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip, PB & J, Mixed Berry and more. For those who don’t like bananas or just want a different type of frozen dessert, you can also make no bananas yonanas using only frozen fruit. Recipes for this type include Tropical Sorbet, Strawberry Pineapple Sorbet Melon Sorbet plus several others.

I made the perfectly Peach Yonanas and the Strawberry Yonanas. Here you see the Yonanas machine in action…..

I was impressed at how effortlessly this little machine processed the frozen fruit. It was very easy to push the fruit into the Yonanas and it was not too loud.
