We purchased this machine a few months ago and use it almost nightly. Through trial and error we realized the secret to creating a great soft serve with this machine is to use ripe (but not overly ripe) frozen bananas with every batch. Second, we only use frozen fruit but let it thaw for 8-10 minutes before feeding it into the machine. Third, we combine bananas and pineapples or bananas, mangos, and blueberries or bananas and strawberries. The end product is creamy and delicious.
I purchased this a few weeks ago. I thought will I really use it? Well I use it every day! I love it! I'm on Weight Watchers and fruit is 0 points! I eat all kinds of fruit now and I'm losing weight! The best machine I've bought in a long time!"

I have sung the Yonanas ice cream maker's praises from the roof tops. I took samples to work to share with the ladies. All of them want one now too so they will be purchasing a Yonanas for themselves. I love the creaminess and on WW Yonanas ice cream is free! No points. How can you get better than that, awesome tasting and a free, filling food. I am in HEAVEN! I would recommend this product to everyone.
I had put a cut-up frozen ripe banana in the freezer so it would be ready when my Yonana arrived. I added mango cubes and mixed berries. The mix came out delicious! Now I have to go buy more bananas! I had heard about the machine from Weight Watchers members since fruit is Zero points, this is a great "instead of ice cream" treat. I found it easy to take apart and clean after use, too.
I was hesitant to buy this product. Since I can't find an ice cream maker that works at home and I feel super guilty about all the sugar I eat in Ben & Jerry's and thought I would give Yonanas a shot. It was easy and the consistency of the food was perfect for satisfying my ice cream cravings! I love this thing! I had some left over and froze it for the next night & it was great too.
After dinner I often crave something cool and sweet. This is an excellent alternative to ice cream. Much healthier and really pretty easy to make. The clean-up is easy also. It does exactly what it says it will very well!
At first I was skeptical-my wife's friend had one, and was raving about it, but I wasn't convinced. After reading review after review, I bought it for my wife-well the both of us now....it works! The fun part is experimenting with other ingredients to make new flavor-we froze pumpkin pie filling, and presto! Pumpkin Yonanas! Worth the money if you want to enjoy a healthier dessert without feeling deprived, pick this up!!
