Product Review - Yonanas



Yonanas is a phenomenal contraption that my cousin gave our family as a gift for Christmas last year, and my roommates and I use it all the time. All you have to do to create a deliciously healthy and 100% guilt-free frozen treat that has the same texture of ice cream is freeze your bananas, and stick 'em through the chute! I like to add frozen berries or mangoes or kiwi or really ANY kind of fruit to switch it up - it creates the same kind of creamy texture as long as bananas are your base!

Even my dad, a self-proclaimed ice cream monster, will willingly go for Yonanas instead of the grocery-store ice cream that's full of added sugar and fat. His go-to dessert is plain banana with some Hershey's syrup and walnuts sprinkled on top.

My biggest qualm with this product is that it's not an easy clean up. You also need to take the whole thing apart and use a spatula to get the rest of the fruity goodness out; a LOT of the end product ends up stuck inside. Dole now has an "elite" version of this product on the website for more than twice the price of the original, and I wonder if they have hampered those issues in that one. For now, I'm satisfied with what I have.

I give this product a B+. It doesn't get a perfect score because if I am only making the treat for myself, I feel like it's not worth the effort of clean up.
