Yonanas Ice Cream Maker + Chocolate Chip Yonanas Recipe
Complimentary Yonanas Ice Cream Maker was received for review and feature on this blog.
How many of you love ice cream, popsicles, sorbet and other frozen treats? What if I told you that you can make your own healthy frozen fruit desserts and ice cream in your home within minutes using one easy-to-operate machine? Have I got your attention yet? If so, read on!
Let me introduce you to Yonanas, the banana and frozen fruit ice cream maker made by Dole. This one machine will make healthy fruit flavored desserts which are the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. Not only that, you only need a handful of ingredients to make the delicious treats and it only requires a few minutes of your time.
One of the things I really love about using the Yonanas is that I control the ingredients which means there are no preservatives and everything is freshly made according to my own taste buds. I can whip up the family’s treats ahead of time, put it into a container and freeze them until serving time.
Each Yonanas machine comes with a recipe booklet and instruction guide. You can find additional recipes on their website too. What is really cool is that you no longer have to toss out your over-ripe bananas or other fresh fruits. When they have reached their peak of ripeness, place them in a freezer storage bag or container and freeze. Then when you want a fruity ice cream treat, thaw them out for a few minutes and run the semi-frozen fruit through the Yonanas. Within minutes, you’ll be enjoying a healthy frozen treat! Yup, it’s that easy!
To put the Yonanas to the test, we decided to whip up some Tropical Yonanas which is bananas, mangoes, strawberries and blueberries. Once I removed our frozen fruits from the freezer, I left them sit on the counter at room temperature for about 12-15 minutes. You then start with the banana and feed that through the machine. We then alternated all of the frozen fruits with a half of a banana in-between. Once we were done…we stirred everything together in the bowl until blended.
Oh my gosh…this stuff is so good! I had to make 3 batches that day, so that everyone in the family could have a nice bowl of Tropical Yonanas Fruit Ice Cream! You can make small batches or big batches at a time and you can basically use any frozen fruit combination that you want. In addition, the recipe booklet has a few recipes on how you can make ice cream fruit pies which would make great summertime desserts!
Worried about clean-up? Don’t be! Once we were done, we rinsed off the pieces and dry them with a towel. It took us 3-4 minutes to totally clean up and I love that!
You can visit the Yonanas website to check out the classic Yonanas model and the new Yonanas elite model, as well as accessories to go along with your machine. Your unit will come with a mini recipe booklet or you can add on a larger 130 recipes booklet to your order.
