I was asked to test drive a new machine called Yonanas and was excited to do so. I was slightly apprehensive at first in learning how the new machine worked but after looking over the directions it took me about a minute to see how this fantastic little machine works. Very few moving parts and so easy a child could use it. I was then even more excited to get this machine rolling. I quickly washed the parts and set it back up again. I had at the ready frozen fruit in the freezer to make a Frozen Banana Split Dream.
This recipe was very adult but for my daughter I just left out the Creme de Banane liqueur and she adored it. I actually just loaded the freezer with more bananas as she is very excited to come up with recipes on her own.
All you need is fresh frozen fruit to make the dreamiest of frozen treats!! So healthy, no sugar, no cream just plain old fruit to make the creamiest of desserts. I could hardly believe it.
For the Frozen Banana Split Dream I used the traditional ingredients of banana, strawberry and pineapple but the sky’s the limit on what you can create and all the different combinations to try.
So creamy you would swear there is a milk product in there but there isn’t. Completely lactose free, gluten free, and vegan. You will never throw out fruit again. Just pop it into the freezer for your Yonanas dessert maker. Now you have something beside banana bread to make with those cheetah spotted bananas. When they are over ripe like that they are perfect for frozen Yonanas. Pop them peeled into the freezer and you are on your way to your next delicious frozen creation. You can also use other fruit without bananas for a more sorbet like dessert.
Bananas are a great source of potassium as most of us know but they also provide an all natural energy from three natural sugars: sucrose, fructose and glucose. No other fruit contains more digestible carbohydrates. Bananas contain NO sodium, fat or cholesterol. Bananas are high in fiber and much of its fiber is soluble, the kind that can help lower cholesterol. A 1/2 cup of yonanas is only 100 calories. Add some more fruit, the calories may rise but so does vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper, and even protein.

This looks too good to be true. But, alas, it’s true! What a beautiful creamy creation! Do you know that strawberries and bananas go together like chocolate and orange (hint hint) or peanut butter and jelly (another hint)? Wonderful stuff, Tara!
