Wouldn’t you love to eat “dessert” for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and your doctor would recommend it as a healthy part of your diet. With yonanas, you can! When I was a young girl I loved ice-cream. It was my favorite dessert and our freezer was always stocked with gallons of ice-cream.

15 FREQUENTLY ASKED Q U E S T I O N S How do I make yonanas? 1. Simply peel and freeze ripe bananas. Cheetah-spotted bananas make the best yonanas because of their sweetness. 2. Remove frozen banana from freezer and thaw very slightly by (a) heating 15 seconds in microwave or (b) setting on counter top for 10-15 minutes 3. Turn on yonanas maker and insert bananas 4. For flavored yonanas insert slightly thawed frozen fruit (see number 2 above) after inserting one banana. 5.
16 Does yonanas taste like bananas? yonanas take on the taste of the other ingredients that you mix in. Ripe bananas carry only a very mild banana flavor that most people describe as tasting like vanilla ice cream when frozen and made into yonanas. For example, mixing in strawberries makes them taste like strawberries, mixing in chocolate makes yonanas taste like chocolate ice cream.
