Why is this not a more prevalent appliance?!
I finally made my first yonanas last night after procrastinating for weeks, thinking it’d be too much work and not taste that great. I was so wrong. I’m so glad I got this.
Let me tell you, I am an ice cream addict. I could eat a whole half gallon tub of blue bell in one day. It is my Achilles’ heel when it comes to dieting. I’ve been doing a weight watchers for over a year now, and it’s been very effective. Except I can’t say no to ice cream, and then I binge and gain a ton back. I bought this machine as a kind of Hail Mary shot at finally finding a substitute. (Froyo bars are pretty good, but super expensive and only come in like 4 packs, that I want to eat all of…)
I made the right decision. The blueberry yonana bowl I ate last night was delicious! And zero WW points!!
Now, don’t get me wrong, it is NOT ice cream. It doesn’t taste like ice cream, it doesn’t look like ice cream. But it is a TREAT. It tasted more like froyo. And I can have it completely guilt free.
It was also pretty filling, i.e. when I finished, I didn’t crave another bowl, but sat there in awe, savoring what I had just eaten.
I wondered, and am still wondering, HOW IS THIS NOT MORE POPULAR?! How does it work sooo much better than a blender? (I had tried to make a similar ice cream substitute with the same frozen fruits and some Greek yogurt previously, but it was very disappointing)
Is this a first try phenomenon? Perhaps, but I doubt it. I have an ice cream craving solution now that I think will satisfy me for ever.
I don’t get me wrong, weight watchers is very clear about not eliminating foods, especially your favorite foods. But about learning moderation. Unfortunately, with ice cream, I have way too hard of a time stopping myself. And the idea of never having it again is too hard. The solution I came up with that sounds great in theory but have had trouble carrying out in reality, is to only have ice cream on special occasions. And that doesn’t mean find an excuse for special occasions to happen more often. And when I have ice cream it can only be blue bell, bc if I’m going to spend the points on ice cream, it better be the best ice cream in the world. Yonanas will get me through the rest of the year and hopefully train my body over time to crave fruits more than dairy. It is easily as good as any froyo I’ve ever had, and better than offbrand ice cream.
I love that it came with a recipe book for instruction, inspiration, and portion suggestions.
Set up was a cinch, it was already assembled so there was no confusion about where parts go. I to it apart before using to rinse it before use and see how it goes together. Easy.
As far as the cleaning goes, I don’t know why anyone is saying it is hard. It was super easy to rinse all the pieces after making my bowl. And the base doesn’t get dirty at all.
All in all I give this 15 stars.

It works!
Okay, I know I'm late to the party, since this device has been around over a decade, but Yonanas is awesome! This machine can take frozen fruit and turn it into a soft serve ice cream consistency without anything else added! I've been interested in it for a long time, but always thought it'd be silly to have a device like this that can basically only do one thing (as opposed to a blender) but I just found it cheaper than normal on Amazon (the "classic" version for around 30 instead of 50) so as a lactose intolerant person I decided to finally get one and give it a try. We just finished our first attempt, which was a mix of two bananas, some strawberries and blackberries. It made a lot more than we expected, around 10 scoops! It was a bit softer than it'd be normally because I let the frozen fruit thaw longer than the recommended 7-10mins, but it was still great. The texture was creamy and perfect (besides some seeds from the berries), had nice flavor, and I am really happy and looking forward to trying a lot of other combinations. I rarely eat fruit but now this will definitely "trick" me into eating more. And since it's so healthy it doesn't feel as bad making it fancier with chocolate sauce or sprinkles. I really like the idea of using this to make an easy icebox pie too! That should really impress everyone at a party. The included recipe book is beautiful (and in a few languages), and there are a lot of other great ideas on their website and elsewhere online.The noise level wasn't as bad as I expected based on other reviews. Seems like a normal blender volume? So yes, noisy, but not enough to give me a headache or make it difficult to talk to someone next to you. And this machine works quickly too, so it's not on for long (and isn't supposed to be on for longer than 2mins at a time). Cleaning it really wasn't that bad either. My husband quickly rinsed everything while I was taking pictures to show to everyone, haha. Based on reading and watching video reviews, I already knew to open the unplugged machine and get the extra mixture out with a small spatula to not waste anything like some people complained about. It really didn't take long. And it honestly makes sense that there would be some left inside since it slowly mixes everything together as it grinds the frozen fruits. I also cut the bananas into smaller pieces before freezing so I could alternate the fruits quicker for a better blended finished product (see images).This was definitely a winner! I'm very glad I purchased this, and even my husband (who doesn't have lactose intolerance like I do) was impressed and said he'd be happy to eat more (but maybe mixtures with less tiny seeds since he found that odd in an otherwise creamy "nice cream"). The fruit can really pack a punch for flavor, but the banana can help mellow out sour/tart notes.
