We love this! We make what we call frozen smoothies with it by putting the bananas through and then other types of fruit like strawberries to make a wonderful dessert. I have added candied nuts, dried fruits and chocolate chips to it as an added bonus. We also made ice cream sandwiches using the pureed fruit by using lace cookies putting the puree in-between them and put them in the freezer for a couple hours. I can't say the pureed fruit tastes like ice cream but I can say it is wonderful and clean-up is a breeze; much easier than using my blender. I haven't had any issues with the machine to this point. The machine came with a booklet with some starter recipes in it and I also purchased a separate booklet.
The Yonanas Treat Maker is a great way to make healthy desserts for the whole family. It is easy to use and clean and the "ice cream" is very tasty. The price is quite reasonable. My husband, kids and grandkids all enjoyed the Yonana's treats. Definitely a winner.
Like all-fruit soft ice cream. Makes a delicious, filling, healthy treat. Well worth the price. Even if you're not diet conscious this is a great addition to your kitchen appliances.
I love this product and can make low calorie, healthful ice cream every day. Since I am a diabetic I have to my sugar intake and this product makes that job much easier. It is also much cheaper to use fruits than to buy the high priced ice cream in the diabetic section of the store.
I am so happy that I have the Yonanas machine. Hubby is diabetic and I have weight issues. In one week, I have made so many healthy desserts that are delicious. Our favorite so far is banana/red raspberry. I sliced the bananas into two inch pieces which causes the banana to thaw enough in a shorter time span. There are no chemicals in these desserts. Have you ever read a label from a store bought sorbet or sherbet? This will be wonderful for summer entertaining but it's getting quite a workout now. It's very easy to clean. I am going to figure out a way to make a tasty chocolate sorbet.
This is one amazing machine. We are thrilled with having a healthier alternative to ice cream. Since of course there are still calories and the natural sugar in fruit to contend with, we limit ourselves to using it once or twice each weekend. But you do feel as though you are eating ice cream. You have to like the flavor of bananas, obviously, so if you don't, don't buy it. Or buy it to use as a sorbet maker with other fruits. 4 good size bananas plus some other fruit (a few strawberries and pieces of mango, say), makes enough for 3-4 people. Easy to use, easy to clean. A winner in my book!
My entire family loves it. It is fun and easy to use and easy to clean. It turns frozen fruit into an ice cream like dessert that my children and their friends love. I bought three machines. I kept one, sent one to my daughter and one to my son. I highly recommend it.
We still can't get over that you just use fruit. Amazing soft serve consistency! Everyone needs one! My family loves it. Fun and Easy to Use! I gave this as a gift to my brother, who does not eat sugar and eats lots of bananas. He wanted to try it right away. Fortunately, I had frozen a lot of ripe bananas, "in case". We cleaned it off, put it together, and started processing frozen bananas and strawberries, alternating as directed. It took just a few minutes to process three to four cups, which five of us tried and enjoyed. It is creamy, like ice cream. Some of us drizzled hot chocolate sauce over it, which was delicious. For those who cannot eat ice cream, are diabetic, just like banana, or want healthy alternatives, this is great! It was easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to assemble.
