We Love Yonana "Ice Cream" |
Our daughter asked me to give her a Yonana for Christmas a year ago and she raved about it. We purchased this one and have enjoyed it tremendously. Using frozen bananas as the base, you are limited only by your imagination as to the results. I like the fact that it uses fruit - it is much healthier than the sugar and cream base for ice cream and it is just as yummy. It is noisy - perhaps a bit louder than a blender - but worth it. Well packaged and shipped quickly. |

Yonana...healthy, yummy alternative to ice cream!! |
I received a Yonana for Christmas and really enjoy it...I bought this one for my mom. Very healthy alternative for frozen dairy desserts...easy cleanup…excellent way to use your over-ripe fruit. |
J. Cameron | 2013-12-20 |
Yay for Yonanas! |
Received as a Christmas gift and may family is totally loving it! My son loves ice cream so this is a great alternative for a healthy snack. |

This thing is awesome! |
Ok this is amazing. I used bagged frozen fruit and it is so creamy and yummy. Tastes similar to ice cream. I added frozen chocolate chips to strawberries/banana mix this morning. Sooooo very good! I'm going to get some for family Christmas presents. |

Worth the $ |
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. I already have a Ninja blender but I feel this makes a better consistency of ice cream out of fruit, plus I feel it is a lot easier to clean. The machine is light weight and easy to store. It is pretty loud when running but since I live alone, that isn’t an issue. For me, this is soo worth the money. |
Jennipher | 2013-12-13 |
Works as intended. |
Used for the first time about 20 minutes ago. I let the fruit sit out for like 2-3 minutes then started to put it in. After making it I just opened it all up, because as with anything that has blades, things get stuck. I just used a spoon, scooped the bit into my bowl from the blades and from the ‘washers’… then just rinsed under warm water, no mess at all, much easier than a blender IMO. Don’t expect 10000% creamy goodness, but it is more like 90% creamy… get it if that is what you want, an easy, tasty, cool way to eat fruit… otherwise go spend $200+ on something else. |
Bradley R. | 2013-12-13 |
Works great! |
We love this! We make what we call frozen smoothies with it by putting the bananas through and then other types of fruit like strawberries to make a wonderful dessert. I have added candied nuts, dried fruits and chocolate chips to it as an added bonus. We also made “ice cream sandwiches” using the pureed fruit by using lace cookies putting the puree in-between them and put them in the freezer for a couple hours. |

LOVE LOVE LOVE this machine!!! |
For fat free, sugar free, additive free ice cream, this is the machine for you. It is as simple as can be. Nothing complicated. Easy clean up. The base is frozen bananas, but you really don't taste them. You can add berries, pineapple, chocolate. You name it. It's GOOD! It is a good way to get more fruits into yours and your family’s diet. |
D.Holt | 2013-12-06 |
The Best Ever!!! |
I saw this on In The Kitchen with David and was intrigued! I ordered it and think that it is by far the best thing I ever purchased from QVC! It is easy to use, cleans up in seconds and provides my family with endless healthy, delicious and easy dessert options!!! We absolutely recommend the Yonanas Healthy Frozen Treat Maker to everyone. |
Richard C. | 2013-12-06 |
Yummy, Yummy Fruit! |
My expectations weren't very high for this product but was I wrong! The first time I used it I only had 2 bananas and no other fruit, so I used some chocolate - boy was that good!! The fruit comes out just like soft ice cream! I used 2 bananas and that was too much for me, so the 2nd time I used one banana and some strawberries and it was much better! A lot more filling than ice cream! Next I'm going to try pineapple and a touch of coconut. I highly recommend the Yonana machine! I used to use a juicer - no more! Veggies and fruit with the Yonana machine! |
West820 | 2013-12-06 |
Great product! |
Like all-fruit soft ice cream. Makes a delicious, filling, healthy treat. Well worth the price. Even if you're not diet conscious this is a great addition to your kitchen appliances. |
Gary | 2013-11-29 |
Best Invention Ever. |
This product is spectacular. I am always dieting but need something a little extra at night. My husband loves ice cream and I am always tempted. This product is a healthy way to satisfy us both. I am going to buy another one for my daughter who has children that will rather have ice cream than fruit. Voila problem solved. Thank you for carrying this product at such a reasonable price. |
Southern Panda | 2013-11-29 |
A Family Favorite. |
The Yonanas Treat Maker is a great way to make healthy desserts for the whole family. It is easy to use and clean and the "ice cream" is very tasty. The price is quite reasonable. My husband, kids and grandkids all enjoyed the Yonana's treats. Definitely a winner. |
2013-11-29 | |
YONANA! |
I love this product and can make low calorie, healthful ice cream every day. Since I am a diabetic I have to my sugar intake and this product makes that job much easier. It is also much cheaper to use fruits than to buy the high priced ice cream in the diabetic section of the store. |
J.Miller | 2013-11-21 |
YO YO YONANA! |
I recently purchased this, and love, love, love it!!! My husband was even impressed. We are both diabetic and this is just great for yummy desserts, sugar free. |
Ciegie | 2013-11-21 |
Yonanas is Fabulous. |
I am so happy that I have the Yonanas machine. Hubby is diabetic and I have weight issues. In one week, I have made so many healthy desserts that are delicious. Our favorite so far is banana/red raspberry. I sliced the bananas into two inch pieces which causes the banana to thaw enough in a shorter time span. There are no chemicals in these desserts. Have you ever read a label from a store bought sorbet or sherbet? This will be wonderful for summer entertaining but it's getting quite a workout now. It's very easy to clean. I am going to figure out a way to make a tasty chocolate sorbet. |

Best Purchase Ever! |
This worked just as it said it would.....and just like the video portrays! Put bananas and strawberries in freezer and made delicious dessert after dinner the next night! So glad we purchased this, such a healthy alternative to ice cream :) |

Amazing Machine |
This is one amazing machine. We are thrilled with having a healthier alternative to ice cream. Since of course there are still calories and the natural sugar in fruit to contend with, we limit ourselves to using it once or twice each weekend. But you do feel as though you are eating ice cream. You have to like the flavor of bananas, obviously, so if you don't, don't buy it. Or buy it to use as a sorbet maker with other fruits. 4 good size bananas plus some other fruit (a few strawberries and pieces of mango, say), makes enough for 3-4 people. Easy to use, easy to clean. A winner in my book! |
Franniebelle | 2013-11-15 |
Yonanas is Great |
If you love ice cream, but a wanting a healthy alternative this is the perfect treat maker. I do a mix of frozen bananas and frozen strawberries, blueberries or raspberries. Makes a delicious alternative. Remember fruit must be frozen for at least 24 hours. Plan ahead. Easy to clean. It is noisy, but not a big deal. |
C. Smyers | 2013-11-15 |
This thing rocks |
AMAZING...nothing but fruit and turns out like frozen custard!!! Bring it on summer, I'm ready and I won't ever feel deprived of ice cream, frozen yogurt, etc. again!!" Yummy, Healthy, frozen treats. LOVE this product. Where have you been all my life LOL!! So easy to use and clean and it really makes me smile every time I use it. I have been searching for a way to get a delicious and healthy frozen dessert without the fat, sugar and calories. I am in heaven!! I have lost 115 pounds which turned my life around...literally, and ice cream has always been my favorite. This machine is wonderful. I know exactly what I am putting into my treat and fruit is so healthy for you. A great way to get your kids to eat their daily portion of fruit. I have tried the banana and strawberry combined (delish) and loved the strawberry sorbet by itself. Going to try peaches, pineapple and mango and one person said apples, so will try that too. You will not be sorry. Have fun making new treats and enjoy. Summer is right around the corner, and the best time for fruit. |
Gracie May | 2013-11-08 |
MY NEW BEST FRIEND! |
I absolutely love this product! I have used it a few times and it is the best thing since sliced bread!!!!! I changed to a healthier lifestyle over a year ago and lost 70lbs and this is just what I needed! I honestly felt as if I was cheating on my program & I had to remind myself that its 0 points! Amazing! I have Yonana'd bananas, strawberries, mango & apples! I freeze it and everyday have a cup full! So glad that my husband was watching QVC just before midnight and when I walked in the room he said, "order this now" plus David could sell my husband the shirt off his back! :) You can't go wrong, it is a 5 star WINNER!!! Oh and cleans up so easy! |
Mils | 2013-11-08 |
Greatest invention ever!! |
We still can't get over that you just use fruit. Amazing soft serve consistency! Everyone needs one! My family loves it. Fun and Easy to Use! I gave this as a gift to my brother, who does not eat sugar and eats lots of bananas. He wanted to try it right away. Fortunately, I had frozen a lot of ri , pe bananas, "in case". We cleaned it off, put it together, and started processing frozen bananas and strawberries, alternating as directed. It took just a few minutes to process three to four cups, which five of us tried and enjoyed. It is creamy, like ice cream. Some of us drizzled hot chocolate sauce over it, which was delicious. For those who cannot eat ice cream, are diabetic, just like banana, or want healthy alternatives, this is great! It was easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to assemble. |
SHO | 2013-11-01 |
WOW, what fun |
Couldn’t wait for my machine to arrive, we are always throwing out bananas , now I won’t waste any fruit, not when I have this machine. It works really easy, clean up is so simple, very well made little machine, not thrown together and hope it works kind of thing. I made the banana strawberry, really good, can’t wait to try the rest of the recipes, the book is fantastic, thanks DOLE. I got mine in Neon Green, I wanted a fun color for a fun machine. |
LPincarolina | 2013-11-01 |
This machine is fantastic |
My entire family loves it. It is fun and easy to use and easy to clean. It turns frozen fruit into an ice cream like dessert that my children and their friends love. I bought three machines. I kept one, sent one to my daughter and one to my son. I highly recommend it. |
gord | 2013-11-01 |
Awesome! |
We LOVE our Yonanas! Being a combination Vegan / Vegetarian family this thing is so wonderful. We know exactly what goes in. And the resulting product...YUM! It is so easy that my teen uses it all the time. The sorbet (without bananas) is really great, so even if you don't like bananas you can still enjoy this machine. |
Azlolib | 2013-10-25 |
Happy |
Happy with the footprint on my counter, not big and clunky. I am vegan so don't eat dairy and this little gem delivers the creamy texture and mouthfeel of real ice cream! I also never cared for bananas before I had 'em like this! Just don't use pomegranate seeds, they don't grind up well. Vegans and vegetarians rejoice!!! |
Camiinak | 2013-10-25 |
OMG! |
Unbelievable! Just delivered fortunately I had frozen fruit in anticipation. Just absolutely wonderful. Made banana pineapple mango. Texture was just like ice cream not runny or goopy at all. It was better than ice cream because it was about 100 calories and zero fat compared to 200-250 calories no telling how much fat are refined sugar. Delicious and wonderful way to get more fruit and I would think if you are vegan and missed ice cream boy is this your lucky day! |

It was so easy |
Okay, I'm a huge skeptic but after watching the presentation and reading the reviews, I decided to buy this little machine. I used it for the first time today--had to wait a few days for the bananas to get ripe, and then freeze. I made the strawberry-banana and followed the recipe exactly. OMG!! It was so easy and made enough that I put some in the freezer to save for another day. It is absolutely delicious and tastes as good as or better than the super-premium stuff. No sugar, fats or any unhealthy stuff. I am so happy I went ahead and bought the Yonanas. With the savings over store-bought ice cream, it will pay for itself in no time. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to eat healthy! |
Shirley S | 2013-10-18 |
Surprisingly good! |
I saw this on QVC, watched the demo and was skeptical. I got the product and immediately made banana/strawberry and wow was it good, creamy, cold, just like soft serve - everything they said it would be. The recipe book is great to give additional ideas of what to make. I have frozen coconut milk (in ice cube trays), added baileys and various chocolate candies to give it extra yum! The only limit is your imagination! Try it and enjoy. You can't go wrong. |
Sydney C | 2013-10-18 |
Fabulous!!! |
admit I was skeptical when I purchased this. But WOW the first time I tried it I was hooked! I have thrown out all my fattening ice cream and switched to this! Frozen fruit comes out like whipped frozen yogurt!! |
Linda H | 2013-10-18 |
I love this product |

Ciegie | 2013-10-11 |
Love, Love, LOVE this! |
This product is the best invention EVER! If you just use bananas & fruit it is a luscious but guilt free desert. If you want to add a little guilty pleasure to your Yonanas desert do what I did. I did frozen bananas, strawberries and frozen semi chocolate chips. YUMMO! The Yonanas is SO easy to clean too, simple take it apart and rinse under hot water. This little gizmo is NEVER leaving my countertop. I plan on buying several more down the road as Christmas gifts. Love the enclosed Recipe Book too! |
Jbellaj | 2013-10-04 |
Fun & Nutritional, Great party fun too!!!! |
My teenage daughter and her friends were over the night my Yonanas Machine arrived. I went to the store and bought lots of different frozen fruit- mangos, strawberries, peaches, raspberries, etc along with frozen Cool Whip, M&M's; coconut, and chocolate morsels. The girls and I had such fun creating different flavors, and there was not a bad result in the bunch. Every creamy treat passed the taste test. Great machine for a party, talk about an ice breaker!!!!!! Do not hesitate on this machine. I am already thinking about them for Christmas gifts. |
Liz | 2013-10-04 |
GREAT!! So Glad I got this! |
I saw the TSV and purchased spur of the moment. I am so glad I did! The Yonanas "ice cream" is great. Thick and creamy and smooth and delicious! It is so much fun to plan the different tastes and flavors. The unit works great and the banana, mango, pineapple combination I made was delicious. |
2013-10-04 | |
Benefits of Yonanas: I can't wait to make my next batch. No issues with noise or clean up. Fantastic machine! Thanks for making a machine that makes being healthy so delicious!! I am planning to get several more of these machines as gifts for close friends and family. |
Sun8shine | 2013-10-04 | |
Served them Yonanas |
My grandchildren were over for lunch and I served them Yonanas for the first time. I asked my 6 year old grandson if he liked it and he replied. "I don't like it, I LOVE it". And he repeated that to me again later! And his father, who is a health food enthusiast, was thrilled and ate a lot of our blueberry ice cream too. Unfortunately my lack of frozen bananas limited the amount I could make but I am working on that. |
Sandra Haas | 2013-09-27 |
Happy as a Monkey! |
Love our new hot pink Yonanas Maker. So easy and so much healthier than the ice cream bar I was eating most nights. My 5 youngest grandkids live just across the pasture of this country girl and I love getting the phone calls when they have friends over asking if I can bring the Yonanas Maker to their house and make up some treats for everyone. I think their favorite so far is the bananas and the Oreos cookies. Next trial will be the bananas and Nutella. |
Kathy | 2013-09-27 |
My 7 grand-kids loves this |
My 7 grand-kids loves this...with help from granny they love making Yonanas special treats. Even loves eating them more!!! I can't keep fruit froze fast enough for them, which is a good thing. This summer I will be purchasing fruit in bulk. We just love this Yonanas Treat Maker!!! Of course Granny loves her fresh pineapple frozen treat. Every family needs ones of these!!! |
BEgrannie | 2013-09-27 |
LOVE MY YONANAS! |
I am on Weight Watchers and love ice cream and frozen desserts. Yonana makes it possible for me to have all the ice cream and frozen desserts I want. I make big batches and freeze them in small containers. WOW!!! I love my YONANA. Tell everyone it is the best thing since sliced bread. No, it's a lot better. |
Anita S. | 2013-09-20 |
OMG YUM |
I almost cancelled my order thinking all I need is one more kitchen gadget to store. Well there will be no storing this one!!! I am a member of Weight Watchers and any of you reading this need to invest in this product. This was heaven sent. If I could meet the person who invented this I would kiss them right on the lips. Love It!!!!!!!!!!! |
Bunny | 2013-09-20 |
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE IT! |
This machine is wonderful! My husband and I are following the Weight Watchers plan and the fruits are free foods. . . so this is perfect for that nighttime snack. I would like to get one for our daughters. . .I know they would love it too! And it is so tasty. . .so many varities of "ice cream" that you can make. Great invention!! |
Jane | 2013-09-20 |
Yonanas is FANTASTIC!! |
I bought this product because I can no longer have sugar and allergic to artificial sweeteners, so the thought of having "ice cream" again was a desire. I am AMAZED at how wonderful Yonanas is. Healthy and SO EASY!! This product is a MUST HAVE for every household!!! And yes, I have to watch the amount of fruit I have (NO I am not diabetic) because of the sugar content but a few bites of the blissful happiness from Yonanas is all it takes for overwhelming joy. |
Elly AC | 2013-09-12 |
FANTASTIC!!! |
This machine rocks! I am a diabetic and this remarkable machine allows me to have creamy frozen treats with no added sugar. A great way to get more servings of fruit. It is easy to clean and doesn't take up much space. |
adkinssl | 2013-09-12 |
10 Stars! |
As a diabetic who gets migraines from artificial sweeteners.....there are very few treats for me - until now! This is just frozen fruit! It was easy to use the first time out of the box. Clean up was easy and quick. I made Yonanas with mixed berries but will also be trying the combinations in the little recipe book. This little machine rocks! |
2013-09-12 | |
I love this product so much |
I have been personally responsible for at least 18-20 other people purchasing it. I have offered samples to many friends and relatives. I make many different combinations, I no longer eat ice cream and I don't miss it at all. This is my ice cream. I continually suggest it to everyone very enthusiastically. |
Patricia R. | 2013-09-06 |
THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!! |
I recently changed my diet to healthy living going from burger king, five guys burgers, french fries, and Reese cups to green smoothies, raw vegetables, and anything that doesn't have ingredients I can't pronounce. And I MISS sweets. It's the bane of my existence. But the Yonanas takes whatever fruit you want and makes an extremely tasty treat that resembles ice cream so much that it feels like eating guilt free ice cream. For anyone who wants to eat healthy but can’t quite get the sweet tooth from popping horrible things into your head, this is a MUST HAVE!! |
Kim B. | 2013-09-06 |
Hesitant To Buy |
I was hesitant to buy the Yonanas but figured it might be fun to use. I love ice cream but not the calories. Yonanas takes care of both. It is easy to use and fun to try other fruits besides bananas. Lots of fun for the entire family. |
Myndee | 2013-09-06 |
Great for Diabetics |
This is great for diabetics or anyone restricting sugar, dairy, glutens. Ice cream fanatics can satisfy their craving without guilt or any additives that are no good for any one of us. Thanks for making me a little more healthy. |
Scarlet | 2013-08-30 |
Love this! |
I was skeptical that this would work, but I was happily proved wrong! This machine makes smooth and creamy ice cream or sorbet! I am gluten free and dairy free and this machine allows me to make all my favorite flavors without going off my diet! Love it, totally worth the buy :) |
Aubrey | 2013-08-13 |
Great for all! | My daughter is gluten intolerant; this machine makes it possible for her to enjoy dessert without fear. I have shared the machine with my sister and mother, all 3 of us have been having great success on weight watchers and this little appliance makes it possible to have an after dinner treat for 0 points! My whole family loves it! | Christin L. | 2013-08-30 |
I love my Yonanas ice cream maker | I love it best because it takes less than 20 seconds to put the fruit in to get it into my bowl ready to eat. To clean, just twist off a few things, rinse, and it's done. I dread cleaning up appliances that make messy things. But I was pleasantly surprised when it took me 30 seconds to rinse it off and be done with it. It's just a super easy machine that produces a great product. My kids love it and so do I. | Ashley W. | 2013-08-23 |
Surprising Tasty | This was surprising tasty and simply to use and clean. The desserts were really well liked by our kids and they enjoyed being able to help make it and customize their own flavors. It was also much more filling than traditional ice cream and didn't melt like traditional ice cream...one of the girls was able to sit with the bowl and eat from it while playing a video game for almost 45 minutes without it turning into a bowl of liquid. | L. Brock | 2013-08-23 |
One of my best QVC purchases ever! | I love this machine and can't say enough about it! I got this machine about a week ago, and have used it every night. It makes the most delicious "ice cream" that my kids ask for every night. I've used all kinds of fruits like bananas, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and pineapple. The texture and consistency of it is perfect and is so much like real ice cream. THANK YOU QVC for this item!! Love it! I will definitely be buying more of these to give as gifts. | Noelle | 2013-08-16 |
Very happy with this purchase! | I just used my Yonanas for the first time. I have to say it was better than I ever could have imagined. This machine did exactly what it said it would. It was delicious and healthy. I already convinced a coworker to buy one!! I will be buying more machines as gifts. | Lisa Marie | 2013-08-16 |
Love this product! | This is one of the best products I have purchased. It is so easy and fun. Everyone that comes over gets to try my Yonana. It is so easy to use and clean. I can't wait to buy this for someone as a gift. | Debbie | 2013-08-16 |
Great product! | I was skeptical at first to try this, but I am so glad I did!! I tried it with berries and bananas and the taste was great. It really has the consistency of frozen yogurt but without all the extra sugar and fat. My freezer is now packed with different fruits so we are making Yonanas every night. I recommended this to two of my coworkers and they already ordered them so I am excited to see how much they like it as well. | Glenn | 2013-08-09 |
I don't like my yonanas - I LOVE IT! | My husband, too, is like a kid at Christmas. Although the reviews are excellent, being from Missouri, I was skeptical and had to see for myself. I ordered the TSV, which truly was a great value. The scoop is very nice and the recipe book is invaluable. So many yummy things to try. I have been buying over-ripe bananas like crazy, and so far have made strawberry, blueberry, and cinnamon. I'm toying with the idea of making coffee today. This tastes just like ice cream and really satisfies my eternal craving for it. What a great buy! | LV | 2013-08-09 |
Yummy! | I am surprised the great way this made creamy banana ice cream. Yummy! My husband stood by and watched because he was skeptical. I used 3 bananas and it made a nice size bowl for the two of us. I bought the yellow color, love it. The scoop is very nice and sturdy. The recipe book has great ideas. I want to make the pumpkin pie, but without the crust. Thank you for offering this to the QVC viewers. | Tissy | 2013-08-09 |
Great Dessert! | We just got this today. My husband was curious hearing me talk about for a few days and decided to make one. It was fantastic it was plenty for 2 treats and being lactose intolerant finally got to enjoy the ice cream like fruit | Carol | 2013-08-02 |
LOVE MY YONANAS! | I received my Yonanas yesterday and used it immediately. I mixed several frozen fruits and it was just delicious. I am trying to eat healthier and watch my caloric intake and this machine fits right in with that concept. It worked great and the clean-up was easy and I don't have a dishwasher :-). Great replacement for ice cream, especially if you are lactose intolerant like me. This has become my new favorite kitchen machine. | Pam | 2013-08-02 |
This product is marvelous. | I love ice cream but am lactose intolerant been trying different products to make up for the ice cream this does it. It is fabulous. Have made some for my neighbors and they love it to! | Brooks | 2013-08-02 |
Best. Thing. Ever. | Dear Yonanas, I absolutely love Yonanas! Best. Thing. Ever. Yonanas satisfies my sweet tooth and craving for ice cream or frozen yogurt. I have been a member of Weight Watchers for the last few months and have lost 35 pounds so far, thanks in part to Yonanas. We no longer keep ice cream in the house, but our freezer is stuffed with frozen bananas and fruit. Whenever I feel a craving for ice cream, I just whip up a delicious snack, or dessert, and enjoy! I know it's super healthy so I feel really good about it. And the weight keeps coming off! I talk about Yonanas at my weekly Weight Watchers meeting so often that people are starting to wonder if I work for your company! LOL! I'm so excited about Yonanas that I've recommended this product to many people over the last couple months and at least 10-15 friends and co-workers have purchased it for themselves. And they all love it! One friend's husband is even having a "Yonanas" party at his office this week! So, in short, I'm very thankful for this product and love how Yonanas has positively affected my family in encouraging us to not only enjoy "ice cream," but make healthy choices. Thank you! | Kristie T. | 2013-07-23 |
Yummmm | I have been using this for desert regularly in place of ice cream and have lost 5 lbs...love it!!! I could never get my fill of ice cream but making it out of fruit is so satisfying and filling that I don't have to eat a lot...and I also eat my necessary portion of fruit every day. | Head Red | 2013-07-26 |
What a marvelous machine. | My husband shared 2 bananas and 1 cup of mixed fruit and we felt like we were eating ice cream. I have been very careful about what I eat the past year and have lost 80 lbs. I know very well that I can't have ice cream in the house because it is a real downfall for me. This was such a treat and tasted so much better than I expected. I look forward to experimenting with different fruits but for right now the mango, strawberry and banana was delish. | Rina K. | 2013-07-26 |
Enjoying our Yonanas | I felt compelled to write and let you know how much we are enjoying our Yonanas. I really didn't believe just how good this product would be. I have been telling everyone who will listen about this heavenly but healthy dessert. | Cindy P. | 2013-07-19 |
A YUMMY WINNER!!! 10 STARS!! | My 12 year old son and I just made our first Yonana treat with some bananas and strawberries that we had frozen a few days ago. Both of us were completely BLOWN AWAY! We could not believe that we were eating 100% natural fruit without any sugars or additives. It was delicious and creamy and we felt like we were being treated to a gourmet dessert that is good for us, too! We can't wait to get more fruit and make this a daily summer ritual. WHAT A WINNER THIS PRODUCT IS! I purchased the green color and it is as fresh as the treat that comes out of it. | Gina M. | 2013-07-19 |
WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!! |
I bought this with low expectations, but thought I would give it a try. I could NOT believe that it worked just like it did on TV, but it DOES. My ONLY problem is waiting for bananas to get spotted so I can make some more.:) I HIGHLY recommend this product to ALL. You will not be disappointed!! |

Great dessert maker! | I had no problems unscrewing anything. It was so simple. I defrosted my bananas for about 15 minutes, then shoved them down the chute. This tasted so good! A really good dessert for people who have to watch their sugar intake! I also tried it with frozen mango and pineapple. So GOOD!! Just like ice cream. My diabetic daughter is so happy now that we don't have to search for "no sugar added" ice cream. This little machine is the answer. | Fran V. | 2013-07-12 |
Where have you been all my life? | This machine rocks! My hubby is a diabetic and loves his sweeties. I am always looking for healthy alternatives. The bonus, we will never waste another banana! We are having fun with the recipes and creating new ones. Brought to a friend’s house and made dessert, they were blown away. | Lenster | 2013-07-12 |
Wow! It really works. | I was not too sure about this when I saw the infomercials. I read some of the reviews and decided to give it a try. Let me tell you...it surpassed my expectations. I have made Yonanas almost every day since I got the Yonanas. It works just like it shows and the flavors of pure whole fruit is amazing. I buy bags of frozen tropical fruit, frozen strawberries or other berries and just freeze really ripe bananas. Be sure you freeze them really ripe as it makes them a lot sweeter. Next, I want to try some frozen lemonade and lemons for a citrus sorbet. The unit has a small footprint and does not take up a lot of counter space as we have it out all the time. It is very easy to clean, basically just rinse under hot water, dry and ready for next time. I would highly recommend this to anyone that like sorbet or soft serve. I am a diabetic and have not been able to find sugar free ice cream that was tasty, but with the Yonanas...it is heaven. | Rod M. | 2013-07-12 |
I absolutely love, love, love my Yonanas machine! | I have recommended it to all my friends and family. To someone who loves Ice Cream and is on a diet this is a must! It is really a healthy treat. My grandkids love to make their own fruit mixes to blend in the machine | Judy H | 2013-06-28 |
Fun and Easy | Yummy, healthy treat Making the yummy soft serve ice cream treat is fun and easy. A great way to use those too ripe bananas for a delicious healthy treat. My grandchildren loved helping to make Yonanas and then eating it. We have enjoyed Yonanas on waffles for breakfast and as a dessert. Adults appreciate that it tastes like ice cream with no sugar or cream to add calories. | Karen J | 2013-06-28 |
I love it!!!! | My grandson thinks that I am an amazing grandma since I give him ice cream after dinner :) I even took the machine to work and did a little infomercial! :) Great product! | Anna | 2013-06-28 |
Best item I have purchased in a long time! | I saw this being tested on Anderson live & they rated it highly, so I immediately went on Amazon & bought it. It is truly a great product. It's made very well & easy to clean. My kids love it & we have been using it almost every night. The hardest part is keeping up our supply of ripe frozen bananas , . One tip- if your freezer freezes your bananas rock hard like mine does, put them in the microwave for a couple of seconds, the machine doesn't have to work as hard & the mixture comes out much smoother. It tastes more like frozen yogurt than ice cream, but it is a great healthy substitute to ice cream. We all love it!!!! | Megan D. | 2013-06-15 |
This works exactly as promised | This works exactly as promised--it is easy to use and to clean. The hardest part is keeping enough frozen bananas on hand! Mixing the bananas with other frozen fruit makes a yummy and filling dessert and its all fruit so no guilt. | Gramma Y. | 2013-06-21 |
My kids love this product | My kids love this product and we have been freezing a ton of bananas and berries to keep up with them. They told everyone they were eating 'ice-cream' for breakfast and didn't realize it was just fruit! | Sarah | 2013-06-21 |
AMAZING!! | So I ended up buying this a my local Target since it was on sale. I was skeptical at first since I'm a total ice cream fan. I froze the bananas and let them sit out for about 5min before using. It was SIMPLE and came out just like ice cream! Obviously you don't have that true cream flavor but the co , nsistency is there, so this is definitely a great alternative. I tried bananas only, then did bananas and mixed fruit, and bananas and chocolate. I have not been disappointed. As some have stated a small amount does stay in the machine but when I opened it I scraped it in the bowl and that amount in the machine was probably no more than 1/4 cup. This is really not a big deal to me. Its easy to clean, and you can use it without bananas which creates more like a gelato consistency. I'm VERY happy I purchased this and would definitely recommend to anyone! | Erin | 2013-06-14 |
WOW! Best purchases ever! | My husband was skeptical at first. He said it wouldn't work as was shown but I ordered it anyway. I had frozen some fruit already so I was able to use it as soon as it arrived. First I disassembled and washed it. It was very easy to take apart and put back together. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that it worked just as it was demonstrated on QVC. The taste is so good my husband thought I added sugar, but it was just fruit! You do have to thaw out the fruit for about 15 minutes to get that "ice cream" texture. Can't wait to try some of the recipes in the book. Highly recommend. It's fun and yummy! | QV Queen | 2013-06-14 |
Wonderful!!! | Ordered this item first for my daughter, son in law and their 10 month old . She tried it and it was amazing she said. So I bought one for us. I froze the bananas ahead of time. Received it today. Right after dinner I brought out the bananas and made it, my husband who is always skeptical was won over after one bite! It's wonderful. I just ordered one for my son and his family. This is a great product. I would recommend it to anyone watching their weight, avoiding excess sugar and who just want something to eat that's natural. | Dixie | 2013-06-14 |
BEST ITEM I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!!!!!!! |
I have a food allergy and cannot eat ice cream or most frozen yogurts, so this is a blessing!!! It is the best item I have ever bought!!! I use it all the time, it taste fresh, cool, even great to make large batches and have in the freezer!!! Love the book that comes with, but you can use your own ideas as well!!! Well worth the price!!!!! |

CRAZY GOOD!!!!! |
Oh how wonderful! Bananas & blueberries blew my mind. Strawberry Yonanas too! This ingenious machine makes my life easier and solves a few problems too. I try to eat a banana every day to relieve leg cramps and my doctor recommends bananas' natural potassium for high blood pressure. But, I'm handicapped and can only get groceries delivered every 2 weeks. So I have tried everything I could think of to prolong bananas life: refrigeration, freezer, green bags, etc. but would end up throwing so much away. NOW I can freeze them and make Yonanas and get my banana in every day!!!!!! Plus, I avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners, am lactose intolerant, count diet points, count carbs, so Yonanas fits great into my life! Also great for my diabetic mother cause she doesn't miss ice cream so much. And I get to eat DELICIOUS fruit treats! I used to unhappily eye my over-ripening bananas for a few days before reluctantly trashing them. Now I can't wait for them to get cheetah spotted! LOVE ! |
Sparrow | 2013-06-07 |
Wow! We all love it. |
One of my sons has food allergies and cannot have milk. We always have to buy special soy, rice, or coconut ice cream type desserts. So we decided to try Yonanas. Wow! We all love it. Not just my son with allergies, but the whole family. My other son is very picky and will not eat much fruit. He actually ate blueberries and bananas Yonanas. Hooray for Yonanas. Silly name, great product! |
Mrs Z. | 2013-06-07 |
Let me start by saying THANK YOU |
Let me start by saying THANK YOU for this great invention. I want to take this time to tell you a little success story of my chapter of "weight watchers." Awhile back I took my Yonanas in to our meeting to demonstrate and sample. To my surprise it was a great success. Now just about everyone in our group has bought one and uses it on their journey to reach their weight loss goal. I am always amazed how this machine can produce what it does. It is a great treat to have when you are craving something bad for you. The fact that it’s all natural fruit and no fat makes it the best companion ever on this weight loss journey. Again thank you for this great piece of equipment. |
James Matthews | 2013-05-31 |
Love this product, delicious! | I made several batches using the recipe book. LOVE THEM ALL!!!! The trick is to defrost just the right amount of time, 10 minutes or so. This is creamy goodness particularly the recipe with frozen cherries and a touch of dark chocolate. Just frozen mixed berries with the bananas are excellent too. I , am doing the weight watchers program so all fruit is 0 points! Can't get much better than that. I buy about a dozen bananas at once and they get spots in 4 or 5 days, no big deal, just peel and freeze, totally worth the effort. Can't wait to make more recipes, this is such a wonderful addition to healthy choices. | Ohio Girl | 2013-05-31 |
This machine is magic! | I think this is the best thing I've ever bought from QVC. In goes the frozen fruit, out comes the most delicious, creamy, product. How does that happen? There must be magic in there somewhere. If you are on Weight Watchers and have an ice cream craving, this is a must have. A no point miracle! From the bottom of my fat little heart I bow to the magician who came up with this product! | Toni | 2013-05-31 |
OMG!!! THIS THING ROCKS!!!!!! | Can we say "a gazillion stars??" This is awesome. When I ordered this from QVC as a TSV, I immediately bought riper bananas and put them in the freezer. The minute it came, I took out a couple of bananas and some strawberries. I let them sit for about 10 minutes before sending them down the chute. W , hat came out was exactly the consistency of soft ice cream and was so delicious you thought you were eating a big bowl of ice cream. My whole family is very health conscious. This machine allows us to have that dessert without any of the guilt. This is all fruit, all natural, no extra gunk or sugar. You know exactly what is in your bowl. I don't know that I will ever eat regular ice cream again. You know it is a winner when you teenage boys say that they would rather have Yonanas for dessert than real ice cream. I will never be without this machine. And can I also mention the value? The machine alone was $50 elsewhere without the cookbook or scoop. Excellent value. | Bargello | 2013-05-24 |
105 Stars! | I made frozen strawberries and bananas and it was really like ice cream, just not as sweet, which is better. I can't wait to try lots of other frozen fruits. I got the Hot Pink and it's cute. Very happy with this purchase and it was very easy to use. I'm sure we will use this a lot. Quick, easy, and delicious. | Suzy | 2013-05-24 |
500 Stars! | Since I already own one, I bought this for my sister when it was on special. Next to my Keurig, this is my second favorite appliance. It does a fantastic job, creates a HEALTHY TREAT, and you get a lot of treat from a small amount of fruit. A couple of hints: be sure to let the fruit thaw for about 10 minutes at room temp; and, be sure to disassemble the unit, easy to do, when it is done and scrape the remaining treat into your bowl. The most surprising thing about this treat to me is that it doesn't melt like ice cream. This is pure decadence without the calories or artery-clogging cholesterol. The inventor of this machine deserves a medal! | Maggie M | 2013-05-24 |
Yummmm Yum! | This Yonanas Machine Was A Great Hit On Mothers' Day. I Chose To Just Do The Banana And Strawberry Recipe, The Frozen Blend Was So Tasty, Like Soft Serve Ice Cream, Especially For Those Watching Their Weight. Everyone Enjoyed It And My Family Will More Than Likely Choose To Purchase This Item In The Future. It Would Also Make A Nice Gift. | Grammaschoice | 2013-05-17 |
Mother's Day | Our family used Yonana Frozen Treat Maker on Mother's Day. Our grandchildren had fun helping make their treat and the adults raved about the different tastes. We were surprised how much is made with just a banana and 3/4 cup of fruit. I have some suggestions: If someone can't finish their treat it can be frozen for a latter day. Another is to make several frozen treats on one day and save time by freezing for another day. Clean up was simple. | Sandy | 2013-05-17 |
Humans or Dogs |
Wonderful Machine for humans or dogs I am so happy I bought this. I use all kinds of frozen fruits. The whole family loves, even the dogs get a treat and love it. The store dog ice cream is expensive and with this I know the ingredients. My dogs don’t like bananas, but for the dogs I use strawberries, mixed berries or blueberries and they can’t eat it fast enough and 1 of my dogs is super picky! Also my son who said it couldn't possibly be good as ice cream tried the strawberry and banana and I used only half a banana and 2 cups of strawberries and said mom this is better than ice cream and he is 23! I was so happy everyone loves the creations I can make. I also make big batches and freeze just like ice cream, next day scoop out a bowl let it sit 10 minutes. I will make everything in the book! Tell everyone you know to buy this machine, it taste great just play around with your ratio of bananas and fruits to your liking. LOVE THIS MACHINE AND SO DO THE DOGS!!! Also clean-up is simple I use a spatula to save the stuff that didn't go through machine into bowl I save every great bit of it then take apart easily run under hot water into strainer, done! Easy! |

Fantastic! |
Gave this to my boyfriend and we both love it! He's always looking for healthy ways to appease his sweet-tooth, and had embarked on a very healthy eating plan...this fits the bill! And for me, who doesn't love the rich and fattiness of ice-cream, I love the clean, refreshing taste of desserts made with frozen, fresh fruit. We've tried several recipes--berries & bananas, peaches, pineapple, with and without chocolate chips, all were delicious and satisfying without eating tons or tons of calories. |
Amy B | 2013-05-10 |
No More Fro Yo! |
My boyfriend and I would regularly go out for frozen yogurt. This cost on average approximately $6 each time and let's not forget all the chemicals added into it. So I wished for a yonana machine and it has been an amazing gift. We have made mint chip, vanilla with chocolate sauce etc. It has completely replaced our nightly yogurt indulgences and probably costs about 50 cents a bowl. |
K. Baumann | 2013-05-10 |
Healthy, flavorful treat | Healthy, flavorful treat We absolutely love our yonana. My husband makes a huge batch and freezes it in individual portions so he doesn't have to make it every night. I don't miss ice cream at all! My favorites are banana strawberry and banana peach. Great with mixed berries too. I ate very little fruit before-now I eat it everyday. | Sharon R | 2013-05-10 |
Yoananas Ice Cream maker is great! | I originally became interested in Yoananas when I learned it could make an ice cream like dessert without sugar and dairy. I didn't believe it would taste like ice cream, but was willing to try it since using only fruit was a healthy alternative to ice cream. I was really surprised when I used the machine the first time. The results were great, and I have tried many different fruit combinations, loving them all! I am definiatly going to be using this machine to make healthy receipes. I love it! | Bnnie | 2013-05-03 |
I'm Lovin' It! | I purchased this product after rave reviews from Co-workers. I have to say it has far surpassed my expectations. We have tried bananas and mixed berries, bananas and strawberries and bananas and peaches. All were incredibly creamy and yummy! We have decided to start eating healthier and this is definitely a step in the right direction. As far as peoples' complaints I have not found any of these to be an issue. The fruit definitely needs to sit out on the counter for a few minutes to have the right consistency. Wonderful product overall. | Julie L. | 2013-05-03 |
Yonanas Rocks! | I got this for Christmas from my Mom. At first I was like..."What is this thing?" My Mom watched the infomercial on QVC and was sure it was what my fruit crazed boys needed. My boys have been begging to try it. So I bought some bananas and a bag of frozen fruit read thru the directions and gave it a go. The results were delicious! I don't know how it does it but it does come out like soft serve. It wasn't super bananaish just fruity. We loved it! Already have more bananas freezing. I am happy to report that this does exactly what it says it does...try it! | J.L. Finley | 2013-05-03 |
Not just for bananas! |
Well so far I haven't used any bananas at all, I had a lot of frozen bags of fruit for smoothies such as raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and peaches and all them come to a great sorbet kind of desert. Using it is as easy and it sounds, you just put fruit down the chute and then push it in and soon ice cream looking stuff comes out and it kind of baffles me how it works. Looking at everything beforehand I thought it needed other ingredients or something but no, just the fruit. The Yonanas is comprised of 6 parts which are easily taken apart and cleaned also! I would highly recommend for people looking for a healthy way to snack |

You don't need Bananas!!! | I'm not a fan of bananas (except in baked goods) but bought this machine after reading customer Yonanas recipes that were made without bananas. We buy and eat a lot of fruit in the Spring and Summer months, and sometimes in large quantities. I had been freezing the overripe fruits to use in pies, , cakes, breads but was looking for another option that didn't require adding flour and sugar - enter the Yonanas! Our children love the Yonanas. During the summer they will wake up each morning and ask to make 'ice cream' after breakfast. We'd usually give them a bowl of berries/apples in the morning but now they can enjoy a bowl of Yonanas sorbet. The cleanup of the machine is very simple if you clean it right away. I have a small spatula that I use to clean out the sorbet that didn't push out of the machine. There is usually about 1/3 cup of sorbet still in the machine that needs to be scooped out (along the blades and the silicon ring). After scooping that out I quickly wash and rinse the chute, blade, and silicone ring and place them on the drying rack - clean up in less than 2 minutes. I like that the Yonanas is not an overly large machine. It doesn’t take up much counter space so we can leave it out all summer. It also stores really well, I usually store it on its side in one of our drawers (fully assembled) or I store it in pieces in one of the cupboards. My first crack at the Yonanas was with frozen lychees (peeled and pitted) paired with frozen strawberries. Following the advice I had read I let my fruit defrost/soften on the countertop for 5-10 minutes while I got bowls and spoons ready. Softening/defrosting the fruit made it come out smooth and creamy - no need for a banana! If you're like me and would prefer a berry sorbet (or mango, or pineapple, or all of that combined!) then soften the fruits a bit before piling them into the machine. I prefer using the overripe fruit that might have spoiled and gone to waste!5 stars for a product well worth it's price. | Lychee | 2013-04-26 |
I LOVE this machine!!!! | The day after getting it I bought one for my diabetic parents and one to use with my students. It's super easy, fun and amazingly yummy!!! You can make a million different combinations and freeze what you've made for hard yonanas later. I actually threw out ice-cream to make room in the freezer for yonanas! Latest creation is apple pear yonanas with glazed pecans and caramel! Easy to clean and rinse off. Also, make sure to get the extra 1/4 cup that ends up inside the machine! | L.R. | 2013-04-19 |
QVC's Today's Special Value | I got my Yonanas machine the other day -- via QVC's Today's Special Value a little while ago. Last night, I used it with my disabled son (Down syndrome/Autism) who has swallowing/chewing issues. We started simple with banana and vanilla greek yogurt frozen in cubes -- he absolutely loved it -- my son can't talk -- but kept doing sign language for "MORE." I can't wait to try different fruits with him over the weekend!! Thank you so much!!! I was a little worried about taking this apart and cleaning it at first -- not knowing what to expect. I found the instructions in the owner's manual surprisingly clear and simple. It was easy to take apart -- and really cleans up great in the top rack of my dishwasher -- thank you so much!!! | Kimberly T | 2013-04-19 |
Dream come true for milk intolerance! | I have recently discovered I am intolerant of milk products... I really miss ice cream! Store bought frozen sorbet is so full of sugar that I hate to buy it, much less eat it. This makes the best sorbet with NO SUGAR! Make sure you use RIPE frozen bananas or other fruit you may use. Peach sorbet is fantastic! Even though I put icy fruit in, creamy, delicious this frozen sorbet came out. Does wonders with berries, so it is perfect for diabetics. | Deb | 2013-04-19 |
Can we say "a gazillion stars??" | OMG!!! THIS THING ROCKS!!!!!! Can we say "a gazillion stars??" This is awesome.

OMG. Mouthgasm! | I typically don't write reviews, but this one is worth it. My sister bought this for my partner and I for Christmas. Haven't used it because it was too cold to think of ice cream (Cleveland). Last night, I put bananas, peanut butter and a pinch of chocolate syrup and OMG. Mouthgasm! Next time, I will use strawberries, bananas, and pineapple. I have been saving all my fruit that goes "bad" throughout the winter and freezing it for this bad boy. This machine is from the heavens. I have never tasted anything so delectable, healthy & refreshing. It's like a heavenly combo of sorbet, sherbet, & the best soft-serve you can imagine. HIGHLY recommend. | Laurie P. | 2013-04-12 |
You have to taste it to believe! | I got mine yesterday and we did bananas and strawberries. It tastes amazingly better than ice cream to me, so creamy and delicious. Clean-up was a breeze. Make sure you peel your bananas before you put them in the freezer. Love mine so far" | Sophie | 2013-04-12 |
I just love this tool. | It easily makes soft frozen fruit desserts (O Weight Watchers points plus) in a manner of a minute. I use frozen bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or other frozen fruit and it makes a sorbet/ soft yogurt concoction. We often put it in cones. My 11 year old daughter and her friends love it too! – , Healthy Gourmet I bought this at a big box store and probably the best $50 I've ever spent. I've had it for 4 weeks and have used it almost every day, even in the cold Midwest winter. I go through so much frozen fruit that it can get expensive but now I'm buying the huge bags to save on trips to the store! I haven't tried any of the 'recipes' but I don't think that's necessary, just put it what kind of fruit you like. I have used strawberries, bananas, mangos and peaches. It does work best if you let the fruit sit out for some time to soften to back it easier to push through. Since I use it nearly every day, I let it soak until I need it the next time. Love it! | K. Kris | 2013-04-05 |
I'm Lovin' It! | I purchased this product after rave reviews from Co-workers. I have to say it has far surpassed my expectations.

We have decided to start eating healthier and this is definitely a step in the right direction. As far as peoples' complaints I have not found any of these to be an issue. The fruit definitely needs to sit out on the counter for a few minutes to have the right consistency. I did not leave the strawberries out quite long enough and there were some harder bits in the mixture but leaving fruit out a bit longer really helped. Wonderful product overall. Someone on here said they tried it with pudding so that will be the next thing we'll try. | Julie L | 2013-04-05 |
Fast & easy and best of all HEALTHY! | I just wanted to tell you how fabulous I think the Yonanas machine is! I'm sure I won't be able to find words enough to praise this product adequately. I have owned a number of "unhealthy" ice cream machines in the past and they all ended up in the trash. Too bulky, too much work, too complicated, too long to wait for the finished product! Then I was turned on to Yonanas! One demonstration & taste and I was sold! It has become my gift of choice for all my family and friends! It’s fast & easy and best of all HEALTHY! I have purchased 5 of them as gifts already and now have all my friends buying them as gifts for their family! My daughter-in law was so excited when she found out she was getting one she literally screamed! I just wanted to say Thank you so much for such a terrific product and providing a healthy alternative to ice cream that adults and children love and readily accept without question that it tastes like ice cream! | Ann Piazza | 2013-03-29 |
The best 50 dollars I have spent | Bought this in the spring.... and I honestly must say it was the best 50 dollars I have spent in a long time. I am now being healthier and consuming more fruit than I have in years. I did not have ice cream once this summer. I honestly eat Yonanas frozen treats at least once a day. I buy frozen fruit (in the summer I bought melons and fresh fruit, cut up and froze it all) and bunches of bananas (which I rarely ate before) and Yonanas up a half dozen or so for myself to freeze and a half dozen for my mom (who loves it almost as much as I do). I either sit the frozen fruit out for about 15 minutes or microwave it about 30 seconds and start the machine up. When freshly made the treat is more soft serve, when frozen its hard serve-- unless you microwave for 20 secs and then YUMMY perfection. I have recommended it to family and friends and when I do, I tell them unless you use mostly bananas it is more like a frozen fruit sorbet. The bananas definitely add the creamy texture that ice cream lovers would probably want. I tend to mix it all up, sometimes more sometimes less bananas. I am actually about to buy a second machine for backup... that is how much I love this machine!! Just my thoughts, but if you are looking for a healthy tasty treat, try it. Also, clean-up is a breeze, a quick run under the faucet and done. Top rack dishwasher safe and a quick wipe of the motor and done. | Lisa | 2013-03-29 |
Perfect for making inexpensive dairy-free frozen desserts | My family prefers homemade frozen desserts made with our Yonanas over ice cream. Unlike other homemade 'ice cream' machines, the amount of desert you can make at one time isn't limited by a small freezer bowl. In fact, you can easily make desert for all the guests at a birthday party if you have enough frozen bananas and other ingredients on hand. Best of all, the frozen desserts made with Yonanas are dairy-free (that is to say, the main ingredient is bananas not milk or cream) and inexpensive compared to ice cream at your local grocery: a bunch of bananas that you might pay $1.50 for makes as much or more desert than you would get in a 1/2 gallon tub. | So Serious | 2013-03-22 |
The greatest treat maker ever! | All kinds of fruit work well, and for those who can't have dairy you can still enjoy a healthy ice cream like treat. Our favorite is bananas and strawberries covered with chocolate syrup...yum! | Cynthia Knight | 2013-03-22 |
Wonderful non-dairy and healthy! | We love this product! By the way, I am allergic to bananas, so I just use peaches, blueberries, strawberries, and cherries and it works fine! I just make mine before they stick bananas in it. My daughter can't have dairy, but with this she can enjoy treats with the rest of us. Awesome product! | Ram2727 | 2013-03-22 |
I bought my Mom a Yonanas | I bought my Mom a Yonanas for her birthday recently. We LOVE kitchen gadgets, but this has to be our new favorite & one of the best we have ever purchased!! What's also great is that it is dairy free! I have an issue with my kidneys where I have to limit my calcium intake. I can now indulge without worry!! I like it so much better than ice cream too!! LOVE it & recommend it to everyone!! | Michelle N | 2013-03-15 |
I’m feeling great again about eating desert | I’m feeling great again about eating desert, with no guilt. Looks great, very easy to use, easy as A-B-C. You're able to enjoy a delicious and fast desert. There are very few parts, which makes clean up fast, and easy. It’s a great gadget to have to make healthy, delicious, and fun deserts anytime you desire. | Gina W | 2013-03-15 |
The best! | This is, for sure, the most useful gadget since slice bread invention. If you like bananas, gelato you MUST buy one of this u won't regret, BELIEVE me! | Eduardo | 2013-03-15 |
What a fruitastic creation! | I was so excited about receiving my Yonanas, and in the meantime put a set of 4 "overripe bananas" in the freezer with a few strawberries waiting for it to arrive. When I first got it I was skeptical on how this would work ...going in as a fruit and coming out tasting like ice cream...but just had to see it for myself. Sure enough the outcome is a smooth, cold, ice creamy textured creation that could be easily described as ICE CREAM! If you love bananas , or other fruits, this is a GREAT way to make a tasty treat with any fruits you freeze! Yonanas has a site with all the information about the benefits of this machine providing numerous health benefits and loads of recipes you can try! For all chocolate-holics you can always add chocolate to the final product, or anything else such as nuts ,sprinkles or a topping to your creations! So what you are reading about this machine are true ...this is machine can turn your fruit into a delicious, cool, healthy treat that the whole family will enjoy! To top it all off it is healthy for you too! | Deb | 2013-03-08 |
The whole family loves it! | We purchased this machine a few months ago and use it almost nightly. Through trial and error we realized the secret to creating a great soft serve with this machine is to use ripe (but not overly ripe) frozen bananas with every batch. Second, we only use frozen fruit but let it thaw for 8-10 minutes before feeding it into the machine. Third, we combine bananas and pineapples or bananas, mangos, and blueberries or bananas and strawberries. The end product is creamy and delicious. | Anne P | 2013-03-08 |
Our family loves our Yonanas! | It is just a great way to get a healthy treat. Any time friends come over now I always make Yonanas for dessert and as a result they all have bought one for themselves. Also, their customer service is the BEST! I called with a concern and got treated with care and respect, and also got immediate results beyond what I expected.... very rare nowadays! Way to go Yonanas! | Vicki Stein | 2013-03-08 |
Sung the Yonanas ice cream maker's praises from the roof tops | I have sung the Yonanas ice cream maker's praises from the roof tops. I took samples to work to share with the ladies. All of them want one now too so they will be purchasing a Yonanas for themselves. I love the creaminess and on WW Yonanas ice cream is free! No points. How can you get better than that, awesome tasting and a free, filling food. I am in HEAVEN! I would recommend this product to everyone. | CGS51 | 2013-03-01 |
The Greatest Machine Ever! | I purchased this a few weeks ago. I thought will I really use it? Well I use it every day! I love it! I'm on Weight Watchers and fruit is 0 points! I eat all kinds of fruit now and I'm losing weight! The best machine I've bought in a long time!" | Meredi | 2013-03-01 |
Now I have to go buy more bananas! | I had put a cut-up frozen ripe banana in the freezer so it would be ready when my Yonana arrived. I added mango cubes and mixed berries. The mix came out delicious! Now I have to go buy more bananas! I had heard about the machine from Weight Watchers members since fruit is Zero points, this is a great "instead of ice cream" treat. I found it easy to take apart and clean after use, too. | Susan D | 2013-03-01 |
Great alternative to Ice Cream! | After dinner I often crave something cool and sweet. This is an excellent alternative to ice cream. Much healthier and really pretty easy to make. The clean-up is easy also. It does exactly what it says it will very well! | J Ward | 2013-02-22 |
GREATEST INVENTION EVER!!! | I have 5 kids and we all absolutely LOVE our Yonanas! I will seriously never buy ice cream again! THANK YOU SO MUCH for such a great product!!! | Sunny Lawrence | 2013-02-22 |
I love this thing! | I was hesitant to buy this product. Since I can’t find an ice cream maker that works at home and I feel super guilty about all the sugar I eat in Ben & Jerry's and thought I would give Yonanas a shot. It was easy and the consistency of the food was perfect for satisfying my ice cream cravings! I love this thing! I had some left over and froze it for the next night & it was great too. | Kristine | 2013-02-22 |
Exactly as Advertised |
I am always skeptical about new appliances since kitchen space is at a minimum. Yonanas is, by far, the single best investment I have made in a long time. It performs exactly as advertised times ten. Healthy and delicious snacks limited only by imagination. Thank you SO much! |
Maryalice Leister | 2013-02-15 |
A great tasting dessert! |
At first I was skeptical-my wife's friend had one, and was raving about it, but I wasn't convinced. After reading review after review, I bought it for my wife-well the both of us now....it works! The fun part is experimenting with other ingredients to make new flavor-we froze pumpkin pie filling, and presto! Pumpkin Yonanas! Worth the money if you want to enjoy a healthier dessert without feeling deprived, pick this up!! |
Dan L | 2013-02-15 |
Healthy Frozen Dessert! | I was a bit skeptical when I ordered, but it really works!!! I love the taste of bananas and so does my family. Follow the instructions and freeze the bananas, at least overnight, and then set out about 10 mins prior to use and you will have a healthy banana ice cream alternative! | LAonline | 2013-02-15 |
Oh man I found another new toy | Makes frozen desert with just fruit- no ice - no sweetener - nothing You can even add a little dark chocolate and it taste great. I had to give up ice cream and frozen yogurt. This is a great alternative. | Karen D. | 2013-02-08 |
FINALLY!!! A machine that lives up to its hype! | :) I got my Yonanas last night and it's awesome!! :) I love that it came fully assembled!! I was so excited last night that I threw in some strawberries for a delicious 100 cal sorbet. Today with my bananas finally frozen, I had some amazing strawberry "ice cream" for under 200 cal. Woo hoo! Skinny jeans here I come :) | Lori D. | 2013-02-08 |
Yonanas is the best gadget ever made. | I don't understand how 3/4 of a banana and 5 small strawberries turns into a hearty bowl of creamy delicious soft serve. Noting but frozen fruit. I'm baffled and elated and my life is forever changed. | Candice L. | 2013-02-08 |
Bought this for my daughter last month | I bought this for my daughter last month and we have been using it ever since. We have not experienced any problems at all. We freeze over ripe bananas and buy frozen berries in bulk to use. Clean-up is amazingly simple as well. You really cannot get any easier than this machine. I am not sure why some people have problems. So far we have used bananas, strawberries, blue berries, mango and pineapple. We love this machine. I am going to buy a couple more to give as gifts. | Cyndy | 2013-02-01 |
Best Christmas Present Ever!!! | Love it!!! I'm all about eating healthy and haven't had ice cream in a long, long time. Healthy dessert without the guilt. I love being able to have a healthy alternative for my daughter too. Can't wait to try more recipes in the book. We just tried with frozen red and green seedless grapes... came out awesome." | TT | 2013-02-01 |
It is healthy and very yummy!!! | I heard about Yonanas from a sister in-law. I was looking for a Christmas present for my husband, who has been eating healthy but loves ice cream. So I looked into Yonanas. It is healthy and very yummy!!! The frozen bananas give the same texture as ice cream. So far we have done Bananas with mixed berries, bananas with peaches, mango, and pineapple. We've done bananas w/ strawberries. They were all really good!! My kids love it too! My husband wants to try frozen pear next. We'll see how that works. Oh I also bought one for my parents; my sister who is vegetarian is very interested. | Robin N. | 2013-02-01 |
Great fun! | My Grandson had a great time making his own frozen treat that was very tasty. I would recommend this product for a fun time and something that is good for them to eat." | Helping Hand | 2013-01-25 |
THIS IS A MUST BUY! | Best Purchase Ever! If you are interested in your health and your family's health...THIS IS A MUST BUY! Not only is the end product delicious, but healthy. What a great gift to buy any family member or friend. We got this frozen treat maker 2 weeks ago & have used it every evening for our dessert time...our favorite is mixed berry & bananas...it is DELISH! It looks like soft ice cream. It is really a breeze to clean...My daughter is on WW & can't wait to try ours...I couldn't tell her we already bought her one for Christmas!" | Ordalo | 2013-01-25 |
I bought one and Oh MY!!! | I saw the Yonanas at my cousins house at Christmas. There was no frozen fruit at the time but she did explain it to me a little bit. I bought one and Oh MY!!! I just love it. Last night I did bananas and strawberries. I was really good. I cannot wait to get creative and come up with my own recipes. All in all I am very glad that I bought one. It is a great machine! | Bones | 2013-01-25 |
Received the Yonanas as a Christmas gift | I received the Yonanas as a Christmas gift from my brother. WOW!!!! We LOVE it!! What a great machine, yum yum, the kids love it! Can't wait to try different recipes! Bravo :) | Maureen | 2013-01-18 |
This machine is most amazing | I have to tell you, this machine is most amazing. I really cannot get over how delicious these creations are with this machine. Really, bananas by themselves are my favorite, but I still have many other options to try. Congrats on a wonderful product. Such a success is rare these days. Thank you, thank you, thank you. | Kami | 2013-01-18 |
This is my second Yonanas purchase!! Gift time! | I cannot say enough great things about this product! It is perfect for kids and adults alike and provides an easy way to get the sweetness of dessert-time with a healthy alternative! I promise you, you will be pleasantly surprised when you start experimenting with this machine! I love that recipes come along with this set, and I love the price! You will enjoy healthy, fresh frozen desserts for you and your family over and over again. This is a must-have for every kitchen!! | Mom of Three | 2013-01-18 |
The answer is YES | When my daughter brought a Yonanas machine home during college break, I was skeptical. Would it really transform fruit into delicious soft-serve? The answer is YES and I hope she forgets to take the machine back to college. As a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I am always looking for new ways to incorporate 0 point fruits and veggies into my diet. I love how I can create tasty desserts with 0 points with this little gadget. Clean-up is a breeze too. So far I have tried combinations with banana, pineapple, strawberries and raspberries. All were fabulous. For an extra treat add mini chocolate chips or a few chopped nuts. It is a must-have gadget. LOVE IT! | Betsy | 2013-01-11 |
The result was a fresh sorbet that my wife loved | I was skeptical about the what the consistency of the fruit would be like, but the bananas came out creamy and delicious. We also purchased whole frozen fruit (strawberries and 1/4 peaches) in bags and splashed cold water on them (to remove the ice) before putting them in. The result was a fresh sorbet that my wife loved. When mixed with the bananas it was amazing. Probably the most impressive part is that my two boys (5 and 3),who are very picky eaters, LOVED the ice cream. It felt good knowing they were so into a healthy frozen snack that they thought was ice cream. | Chris | 2013-01-11 |
Tasty, very fluffy and creamy-like | I just got this tonight and was skeptical. I froze the bananas overnight, and found that I had to let them thaw out for 5 minutes before using. The consistency that came out of the machine was great and exactly the same as the ads. I love it. It was easy to use, tasty, very fluffy and creamy-like. The clean-up was easy. | Sean | 2013-01-11 |
This thing rocks! | Toss in a few chunks of frozen fruit and out comes a wonderful delight. This morning I tossed in a half of a banana a handful of strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and another half of a banana. What I got in return was a healthy treat that was second to none. Clean-up is a breeze too! This would make a great gift for your health conscious friends and family. | Craig | 2013-01-04 |
Wow! It’s a life saver. |
If you care about your health, then this is a machine you should not live without. It’s so easy to use. And you will be impressed with the results. So far I'm using this every single day. I cannot believe how fruit can feel and taste exactly like ice cream. NO GUILT. I wish I had this growing up as I have always had some lactose issues and this is the answer. My favorite is to use bananas, raspberries then sprinkle nuts on top with a little chocolate syrup. High Carb, low carb & protein = balance meal....which keeps glucose from spiking. How brilliant is this machine. I 'm eating all my fruit and more - without thinking about it. This is brilliant." |
Bev | 2013-01-04 |
A special treat every night | This is the best thing I could of ever came across at this point in my life, I started Weight Watchers a while back and have had trouble getting all my fruit in, this makes it feel like I am having a special treat every night now. So compact and easy to care for, completely comes apart for easy washing, and the price is the lowest I have seen anywhere. Thanks. | Nancy | 2013-01-04 |
The great healthiest snack | I saw this on Dr. Oz. It makes the great healthiest snack. Frozen fruit, is all you need and you don't need a lot, two bananas and four strawberries make a sweet treat for 2. If you don’t want the calories use more strawberries. You can't beat it. It will STOP a sweet tooth. Let the fruit set out for 10 min before using. So worth the money. | Fitnessnut | 2012-12-28 |
Natural creaminess really makes the difference | I was very excited to get this machine because I've been on the Paleo diet for about 8 months now. The Paleo way of eating excludes dairy, among other things, and this is the perfect answer to my ice cream cravings. I was a bit skeptical of the consistency of the ice cream, but the banana's natural creaminess really makes the difference. I have not yet tried other frozen fruit, but I suspect they will have a consistency more like a sorbet. Do heed the instructions of letting the bananas thaw somewhat. It makes pushing them through the machine a bit easier. My daughter, who is 11 and prides herself as a foodie, loved it. That's a test right there if it passes muster with an 11 year old. | SzeBreeze | 2012-12-28 |
I love this machine! | I had heard of Yonanas before, but thought of it as something for moms trying to get their little ones to eat bananas, more fruit....OH MY STARS!!! I wish I had ordered this so much sooner!!! It does what it says -- IT MAKES BANANAS INTO ICE CREAM...OK, it is not really ice cream, but it is so creamy, so yummy, so sweet...it is almost better than ice cream because it is FRUIT!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!! HEALTHY!!! I have made a permanent space in my freezer for bananas so that I can be ready for Yonanas every day!! Buy this, you won't be sorry. I tried a few different fruits, peaches and strawberries - both were great, but the bananas are the bomb! | Linde | 2012-12-28 |
Favorite Amazon purchase ever | This may be my favorite Amazon purchase ever. Once I figured out how to take apart the pieces that needed to be cleaned, I am able to make delicious, healthy desserts easily. I'm not even a huge fan of bananas, but the bananas make a great, creamy base for the final product. It is a delicious, easy way to get fruit into your diet. Ice cream is my weakness and I wanted something to quell those cravings. This is it. I do recommend immediately cleaning the machine after use. And when freezing the bananas, make sure to peel them first. | Amazon Fan | 2012-12-21 |
I’ve bought five for gifts and myself | We have used it so much since we bought it. So far I’ve bought five for gifts and myself. It will be so nice to have for the summer when ice cream is so appreciated. I love the healthy way to have desserts. | Judith | 2012-12-21 |
I'm eating super-duper healthy | I enjoy shoving all my fruit through this monster! It tastes good and makes me feel good because I know that I'm eating super-duper healthy in ice-cream-like form. It's so good that it kind of feels criminal. | Mary Grace Ann | 2013-12-21 |
So incredibly YUMMY! | The dessert that this machine makes is so incredibly YUMMY! I follow the Weight Watchers program and I LOVE fruited ice creams but they are too many WW points. I made black cherry yonanas this summer (black cherries and bananas, frozen...that's it) and as I was eating it I couldn't believe how great it tasted and how much it "felt like" ice cream! ZERO POINTS! I do find that I have to allow my frozen fruit to sit out about 5 minutes and it makes the perfect consistency! I've recommended this product to all my WW friends!" | Deb | 2012-12-14 |
Easy and fast | Using the Yonanas frozen treat maker is easy and fast. From the first use the dessert created was delicious. If using just fruit, zero points plus on the Weight Watchers program is a big added bonus. Very Impressed | Zirkda | 2012-12-14 |
The best zero point tasty treats | It makes the best zero point tasty treats for those of us on the Weight Watchers program. Worked perfectly first try just like the on-air demonstration. Just need to take your frozen fruit out of the freezer about five minutes prior to using it. | Anonymous | 2012-12-14 |
Wedding shower gift | My fiancé and I got this as a wedding shower gift; the minute we got it home we just had to try it. We were kind of bummed we had to wait to freeze the fruit but it was well worth it. We used some bananas, strawberries and a couple of kiwi and we all loved it (even my 11 year old picky son)! I would recommend this to anyone who has kids. | Roy and Amanda | 2012-12-07 |
Our own ice cream substitute | Have you looked at the price of ice cream lately? We enjoy making our own ice cream substitute, and even the granddaughters like it. When we know they're coming we make sure we have lots of different 'ingredients' in the freezer, and they can choose how they want theirs individually made. Each of them loves to put in their own special treat; the latest is chocolate malted balls. Plan to give one as a Christmas present. | Anonymous | 2012-12-07 |
Great healthy investment! | Outstanding buy! Arrived in 2 days, very simple operation. Easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning. Made bananas and mixed berries our first night and our 8 month old loved them. Great alternative to ice cream. | Gamppy | 2012-12-07 |
Favorite thing in my kitchen | This is my favorite thing in my kitchen. I've tried to blend fruit in a blender, just icy watery fruit. With this machine, you don't need cream and sugar and salt. Just bananas and fruit bits, perfection! | Monica | 2012-11-30 |
Yonanas definitely produces a better texture | I bought one despite a couple of negative reviews because I am on a no-dairy diet and can't have ice cream, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I've made "banana ice cream" before using an immersion blender, which does work, but it's difficult and it's hard to get out all the lumps. The Yonanas definitely produces a better texture (more aerated, smoother) and goes faster. I don't have the problems with cleaning it that other people seem to have had. I've found that a ratio of 1 part banana to 2 parts other fruit works best - the banana gives you the creaminess without overpowering the flavor of the other fruits. I'm enjoying playing with it to try new combinations. | Lovinmoment | 2012-11-30 |
What a great way to eat over-ripe bananas! | Every week I was tossing at least two. Now I freeze them and make healthy ice cream. Great device for Moms that want to get more fruit in their kids diet. | Babs | 2012-11-30 |
Performs just as promised | I bought this machine and it performs just as promised. I make all kinds of ice cream treats. I love that I can make them with healthy fruit with no worry of added sugars and calories. I buy over ripe bananas at a discount which is always a good thing. The ideas are really endless. I also love that it is easy to clean. Put it in the top of your dishwasher or wash by hand. This is one machine that I leave on my kitchen counter...no dust cover for this baby. | Granchick | 2012-11-23 |
Any kind of fruits, not just bananas | We bought this product in September 2012 and have used it already so much. You can put any kind of fruits, not just bananas; I have tried melon, pears, apples, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, mangoes, pineapple etc... everything worked. I let the fruit unthaw for about 10 minutes before putting it in the machine or pass them under hot water for a couple of seconds. Hard frozen fruits don't pass through the machine easily. We love this product and use it almost every day. Great purchase! | Corinne | 2012-11-23 |
Dr. Oz loved it! | I had heard about the Yonanas on the Dr. Oz show (of course!). It was demonstrated and Dr. Oz loved it! Being a banana lover, I knew I would love it too. I kind of forgot about it for a while but my son wanted a gelato maker. In searching on Amazon for a good gelato maker, I ran across Yonanas and decided to purchase it. Oh my gosh!! It is so simple to use! You just put a peeled, frozen banana in the chute and out comes banana soft serve! I am also lactose intolerant so no dairy was great for me! My son is not a banana fan so he was glad that other frozen fruits can be used - we love the Yonanas! | Suzanne E. | 2012-11-23 |
Best money I ever spent! | I’ve been trying to lose weight all my life, one of my biggest diet breakers being ice cream. Not anymore Yonanas is awesome!!! I absolutely love it and no more wasted bananas! Easy to use and easy clean up. I really do love this thing. | Losing Faster | 2012-11-09 |
I fell in love with this machine | I don't throw my overly ripe bananas away now I freeze them for some delicious fat free ice cream. I have added powdered peanut butter to my bananas and had a great treat of peanut butter and banana ice cream without all the fat and calories. | Bob | 2012-11-09 |
I can't believe how awesome this is! | I received this as an early birthday present and could not wait to try it out! I'd learned about this appliance from a sticker on a banana and I'm damned glad I did too! It works sooo much better than advertised, no it doesn't taste like soft serve but it is soooooo much better! If you love sorbet you will absolutely loooove this toy! My whole family really loved it, as fast as I could make it they were coming back for seconds and my boyfriend would have been back for thirds if there'd been any more frozen fruit. I did what another reviewer suggested and made an ice cube tray full of vanilla no sugar no fat pudding to use with it and it was amazing. Any fruit I put in came out amazing and delicious! I'm going to the store later to buy more fresh fruit to freeze, more frozen fruit and more varieties of pudding to use too. The possibilities are truly endless with this amazing device and I can't wait to use peanut butter, greek yogurt, and tofu to make treats with protein too, that way it really can be a meal ;D I am just so in love with this machine and I can't believe I actually found a product that does just what it says! In regards to noise, it's no louder than a food processor and quieter than a blender full of frozen fruit or ice. And cleanup is a breeze. Whether you follow their directions of just rinsing it (which I did earlier after making myself a banana, plum, pudding sorbet with vanilla almond cereal for breakfast, because I know I'll be using it again later today) or actually using a soapy sponge, breakdown and cleanup take only around 2-3 minutes total so I have no idea what people are whining about. As for the texture, it was divine, perfectly melt in your mouth smooth with any type of fruit I tried, which so far have been strawberries, pineapple, mango, peach, plum, and of course banana. All in all, if you're on the fence about this device and are afraid that it might be a gimmick, put aside your worries and get it, you won't be sorry! I don't think this device will ever be removed from my counter. And I know it will certainly help me use fruits that are past enjoyment on their own since over ripe fruits of any kind are pretty great in this thing, which means less wasted money! | A. Rousseau | 2012-11-16 |
The best of the modern kitchen novelty appliances! | Ok, most of us make toast or coffee more often than frozen desert. Nonetheless, this is the best! The stuff it makes is healthy & delicious, the process is simple enough for little kids to help, & it's rugged: undamaged after years of use. Perhaps most important, (because it's something that causes most similar products to never get used after the first few times): It cleans up quickly, easily, simply, & completely. | Vine Voice | 2012-11-09 |
Fun, Delicious, and Healthy | Normally I like gadgets that have virtual keyboards and retina displays. However, this is my favorite new gadget. I have had this Yonanas 902 Ice Cream Treat Maker for a couple of weeks now. My freezer is stuffed full of frozen bananas because I afraid I might run out of bananas. The Yonanas is well packaged, but easy to get right out of the box and start using. The selling point for me was other reviewers that had written that it was easy to clean. Now that I have mine, I can reassure anyone considering a Yonanas that it is true. There are five large parts that disassemble very easily that are a breeze to clean. Yonanas does not have a large footprint. Its footprint is equal to that of my traditional blender. The only negative is that the machine is loud when in use, but no louder than my traditional blender, so it is not an issue for me. I have been experimenting with various combinations of bananas and fruit. So far, my favorite is two bananas with a table spoon for chocolate PB2 sprinkled over it then mix it up really well. My second favorite is banana/strawberry and my third is banana/blueberry. In each case it is one banana and 3/4 cup of other fruit. Let your imagination run wild. For sure, the bananas and any other fruit one will be using need to be frozen for at least two days. There does seem to be a good bit of soft-serve fruit still in the machine when done. On the last batch, I take the machine apart and scrape out the residual fruit from the cone area and from the blade. No regrets here and I plan to purchase a couple for Christmas gifts! | J. Julian | 2012-11-02 |
Love, Love, Love, Love, Love the Yonana | It takes a little getting used to, but with my gluten intolerance AND Weight watchers diet, and my kids' other food allergies, this has been a Godsend. Fantastic product. Make sure you keep lots of frozen, overripe bananas in the freezer at all times because to get a bowl, you really need two bananas. I keep a chocolate bar around and drop it in sometimes and it chunks it up in different sizes for a special treat inside your Yonana dessert. | CMI | 2012-10-26 |
The best small investment in a kitchen appliance | The best small investment in a kitchen appliance I have ever made. Very happy to be able to make ice cream like desserts without any dairy ingredients. It is easy & fun to use, and what a great way to get your daily fruit requirements. I am going to try and add frozen sweet potatoes to the bananas next, really like this machine! | Robi | 2012-10-26 |
The best 50 dollars I've EVER spent | This product is amazing, the best 50 dollars I've EVER spent. I have a very strict diet with a lot of allergies and this allows me to eat delicious dessert like sweets. This product literally has changed my life just by allowing me to have a "ice cream". It's amazing how many different combinations there are! | Zoe M. | 2012-10-26 |
Tastes just like ice cream | We decided to get a Yonanas to be healthier and eat more fruit. Instead of buying ice cream, this is an excellent substitute. It's all natural with natural sugars and it tastes just like ice cream. It's very easy to clean up & it's also dishwasher safe too. Hopefully, this will encourage our family to eat more fruit. It's also an excellent way to get fruit into your diet. We can't wait to make more of this! | Jeannine | 2012-09-19 |
I am so excited about this Yonanas machine | I have been "dieting" for 4 months and have lost 40 lbs. I was missing a sweet treat so thought I would give this a try and I am so glad I did. It's better than ice cream, no really! You can change it up so many different ways too. I purchased 8 more so everyone gets one for Christmas and my holiday shopping is done. Easy to set up, easy to use and easy to clean! I'm sold X 9, lol. | KK | 2012-10-19 |
My meeting started raving about Yonanas | I'm currently attending Weight Watchers and the ladies in my meeting started raving about Yonanas - I had never heard of it and had no idea it existed, but they were so in love with it, I bought one. Now, I am in the Yonanas Cult, too. What an amazing machine! It's unbelievable that you can drop frozen fruit into a machine and walk away with a bowl of something that tastes decadent, like you're eating a giant bowl of peach or strawberry ice cream. But nope! It is in fact, JUST FRUIT. Healthy and wonderful. It's a little loud while in use, but the end result is worth 30 seconds of motor noises. We’re eating a lot more fruit in my family now. The best $50 bucks I've spent in ages. | Tammy W. | 2012-10-19 |
Yonana desserts are pretty downright amazing. |
I just bought a Yonanas machine, after going back and forth about it several times--boy, am I glad I did! I have had no problem using it (easy as, pardon the expression, pie), and the yonana desserts are pretty downright amazing. I am a creemie/ice-cream junkie, so that is BIG praise. I actually like yonanas better than either of the former. The easiest dessert I make is simply bananas and a drop of vanilla extract blended in for a vanilla dessert, and --so far-- the yummiest I've found is bananas, cherries, and a few dark chocolate bits sprinkled on top. I eat yonanas for breakfast, no kidding! Again, thank-you for having a really good, really affordable product. |

ALL NATURAL | No sugar, no cream and no ice, what could be better?! My favorite is banana and lime zest and banana and cantaloupe. Believe it or not that combo is excellent! It takes less than a minute to fix. Yes it is not soft serve tasting as the fast food places but think about it do you want all the ?????? ingredients they add to the soft serve ice cream or do you want ALL NATURAL fruit that is stepped up a couple of notches and tastes amazing? It does come out a creamy texture and if the bad reviewers paid attention to the directions maybe it would have tasted better." | Maranne | 2012-09-28 |
I cweam! I cweam Mommy!! Happy! | 2 years olds are fussy eaters. One of my twins, LOVES ice cream. I do no give it to her often. She hates the texture of fruits and veggies. Well, Yonanas fixed all of that! She cheers "I cweam! I cweam Mommy!! Happy!" I am in love with Yonanas myself! I LOVE ice cream! It is my down fall. :0( I have thrown out so much fruit over the years, never again. I hate wasting the money. I prefer fruit UNDER ripe. So, a lot of food has been trashed. Well, now I freeze it and don’t waste money on ice cream! Better for me and my budget!!!! | Heather W | 2012-08-28 |
Truly love your yonana machine | I just want you to know how much I truly love your yonana machine. It took me a long time, but I lost over 90 pounds the old fashioned way. Maintaining is a struggle, BUT, I absolutely love yonanas!!!!! It makes me feel like I'm having a real treat and getting my fruits at the same time. I have only been eating the banana/raspberry and or strawberry so far and will be trying lots of other fruits. THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT INVENTION!!!! | Adela Ensley | 2012-09-21 |
A feeling of satisfaction | I love Yonanas. It gives me such a feeling of satisfaction to make a Yonanas treat for my grandchildren and their friends. It is so healthy. I feel like I'm helping in the war against childhood obesity. My husband and I had one last night with pineapple, peach and mango...yum. | Rosemary | 2012-09-21 |
My family loves Yonanas | We are all ice cream lovers, and Yonanas lets us satisfy that craving for cold sweet treats in a much healthier way. I have lost over 30lbs with the help of Yonanas! So thank you very much! | Gail C. | 2012-09-21 |
I'm on Weight Watchers | AMAZING! I'm on Weight Watchers and I LOVE ice cream and our leader brought this in to show everyone. I went and bought it the same day. I am in LOVE with this and I think it's seriously one of the best inventions ever. The consistency is amazing and it's just so good! You won't regret getting this. | FrozenSight | 2012-09-14 |
A fun way to create healthy treats | I purchased this item hoping it would be a fun way to create healthy treats that my granddaughter could not only enjoy participating in but eating as well. I was not disappointed. The bananas make the desserts surprisingly creamy and we like to add some mint chocolate chips or peanut butter chips! My husband likes just the plain fruit which comes out like a sorbet. Now, if you think this is going to be exactly like ice cream, I'd recommend going to the store and buying the fatty, unhealthy stuff. But if you want to create tasty, healthy desserts that are creamy and yummy. Give this item a try! | JesseMommy | 2012-09-14 |
Very low-calorie, low-fat, and natural | I love this new appliance, and I'm not usually one to buy a lot of gadgets for the kitchen. I have a high-end blender but making sorbets is too messy with it. This works great and is so easy to clean! The desserts are amazingly creamy. The recipes from the booklet that I have tried are yummy. Very low-calorie, low-fat, and natural way to have dessert at home. Yum!" | BeachGirl14 | 2012-09-14 |
Just like soft serve ice cream |
WOW!! I just tried out my new Yonanas machine and it's amazing! Just like soft serve ice cream. I made banana, strawberry and pineapple. Delicious! Even my husband couldn't believe it and he's an ice cream junkie. Very tasty, Healthy too! Great invention!! |

Only 3 weight watchers points | Love, Love, Love Yonanas! I got my machine last week and have been making a Banana and Mixed Berry Pie with Graham Cracker Crust ever since. I top off each slice with a dollop of fat free Redi Whip and I have a delicious frozen dessert for only 3 weight watchers points. I can't wait to try some of the recipes in the book that comes with it. No more ice cream cravings in my house. Clean-up is really easy and the unit is compact and easy to store. I love this machine." | Lettie | 2012-09-07 |
UNBELIEVABLE! |
"It’s like frozen, creamy yogurt or sorbet when I use bananas. I have tried with strawberries and bananas and delicious! CAN'T WAIT to try mint chocolate frozen chips in it! Like others I got it to replace my ice cream addiction and to help me lose weight! I think this will do it. I use 3 bananas and let thaw 5 or 10 minutes before I make it. I get 2 TBSPs of yonanas when I open the parts to clean, so I add those to my bowl, NONE is wasted. EASY to clean, and I'm horrible about wanting to clean food processor, etc. I hope the machine lasts a LONG time!" |

Exactly what I needed to jump start my weight los | Yonanas was exactly what I needed to jump start my weight loss & new healthy life style. I would like to start by saying I absolutely love the Yonanas maker!! It has completely cured my sweets craving & I am down 2 sizes in 30 days since purchasing this wonder machine!! I am a mother of a 3 year old & a 5 year old, I also work full time & would often make poor food choices. My friend brought a Yonanas maker into our office one day to share a healthy treat & I was immediately hooked!! My kids & husband are fans too. I generally make a banana, strawberry, blueberry bowl of deliciousness & occasionally will add a few chocolate or white chocolate chips for extra sweetness. This is truly a wonder machine!!! Love, love, love it!! People have been asking me what I've been doing to get into shape & the first thing I tell them is about my amazing Yonanas machine!! | Kelly M. | 2012-08-31 |
We are absolutely in love | My family has been using a Yonanas Machine since Christmas and we are absolutely in love. There is now an endless supply of frozen bananas on hand in our freezer at all times. We are so passionate about this product that we have convinced five other families to buy one as well. We are anticipating at least two more families to purchase one in the future and we will continue to spread the word. Sometimes we joke that we would love to become Yonanas sales people (hehe). Thank you for the amazing product! | Elizabeth R. | 2012-08-31 |
Could never live without my Yonanas machine | Dear Yonanas, I'm just e-mailing to tell you that I could never live without my Yonanas machine!!! I bought it on the Shopping Channel in Canada last year when it was offered with the popsicle holders and matching container and I've been using it frequently ever since then and I gave you a five star rating on their shopping site. You just came to Canada this past month and I saw a demo with frozen peaches (which I've never tried) so as soon as I saw you, I ran out and bought some peaches and did them up for the freezer and they have become my new favorite obsession. I make my special concoction every night for myself and my husband and today I just bought another 3 large bags of peaches to do up. YUM! FYI: I don't usually measure my fruit per say but if you were to pass this recipe along to others it would probably help those who are more comfortable following instructions. PEACH MANGO-TANGO 1 1/4 cups frozen peaches 1 cup frozen mango chunks 1/4 cup frozen pineapple chunks Keep up the good work! Alas, there is one thing that makes me sad about Yonanas and that's when I'm on my last spoonful!! Thanks again, | Marcella - British Columbia, Canada | 2012-08-24 |
This machine is amazing | This machine is amazing...something I've been wanting for many years. Was using a blender (not useful) to make banana ice cream out of frozen bananas, but it was difficult and didn't stay as frozen as your machine makes it. Thanks so much! | Donna | 2012-08-17 |
Great way to sneak in good stuff for the kids | "I bought this for my daughter and her kids. My grandson is almost 3 and is a picky eater. He said he didn't want Yonanas because they were gross. However, when she made some bananas and berries "ice cream" for him and gave him a "ginormous" portion...he said "I love this ice cream but not yonanas!" He was eating yonanas for lunch. Great way to sneak in good stuff for the kids...my son in law also liked it but he was fooled into thinking it was ice cream. It was easy to use (follow directions and you won't have a problem!). My daughter said it is a great way to stretch your dollars as you can freeze the fruit before it goes bad and have a good, wholesome, healthy snack. Easy to use and tasty...so don't let this pass you by!" | Mislyn | 2012-08-17 |
Yonanas machine gets used 3-4 times a day | The Yonanas machine gets used 3-4 times a day at my house so I have to keep coming up with different stuff. I also lead a weight loss support group and make a little treat with the yonanas for them each week :) | Holly | 2012-08-10 |
Thanks so much for a great product | We recently got our yonanas machine and I just realized that not only do we love what it does, for someone who doesn't really like things sitting on our kitchen counter; it looks quite attractive when I leave it out! Thanks so much for a great product,I have passed the word probably a little too much, I think our friends are tired of hearing about it! | Jan | 2012-08-10 |
Many recipes to try | We love this machine for producing 'ice cream - like' desserts. Many recipes to try and the finished product is like soft serve ice cream, but does not melt quickly like homemade ice cream. And you can make a large batch and store in the freezer to serve at a later time. Easy clean up. No salt to buy or large amounts of ice cubes needed. Well worth the price we paid. | hyacinthbean | 2012-08-03 |
I have been thrilled with the performance | I loved the concept of this item. And I have been thrilled with the performance. It is a bit loud - but the bananas come out very smooth, just like ice cream. I've made several of the recipes and have been happy with each of them. Not overly banana-y. Definitely has cut down on our ice cream consumption. Color could be off putting for some - as the bananas will start to brown. I do recommend this and have done so to my family and friends. | Ann | 2012-08-03 |
Weight Watchers Leader | I'm a Weight Watchers Leader in New York and just wanted to share with you how happy we all are with your wonderful product. I've been featuring it at my meetings because it's just that good!!!! And it’s ZERO Points Plus on our program!! Thanks again for making so many of us happy and helping us stay healthier and thinner!!! | Linda | 2012-08-03 |
Not only is easy to use...but easy to clean up as well! | I was hesitant when I purchased the Yonanas since machines that you see work so well on TV often don’t seem to work as well once you get them home! Well I can say that as far as the Yonanas is concerned it is exactly as it is portrayed on TV!It makes amazingly easy frozen desserts, using only fruit! My teenagers have been using it daily and it's basically paid for itself as they have not been buying ice cream!! machine not only is easy to use...but easy to clean up as well! Highly recommend it!!! | KFriend | 2012-07-27 |
Superior to any store-bought yogurt or ice cream | I don't eat enough fruit and vegetables. This product has made eating fruit a daily event to look forward to, especially since I can now buy frozen fruit and/or freeze them myself so they last longer. As the price of fruit keeps going up, it's very costly to throw away anything that goes bad. Even better, what comes out of it is superior to any store-bought yogurt or ice cream I have had... in BOTH taste and nutritional value. I have been putting in a single large banana, a few strawberries and a few blueberries. I then add a scoop or two of protein powder for both the chocolate flavor and the added protein. The result is like having a banana split or chocolate covered strawberries Clean up is a breeze. The mechanical base never gets dirty and doesn't need cleaned more than any other counter-top appliance. I am beyond happy with this thing. What a great combination of health and convenience provided in one product. It sits right next to the coffee maker and is used as regularly. | S Forrest King | 2012-07-27 |
I absolutely love my new Yonana machine. | I use it about every day. My husband just loves the finished product. So yesterday I made a new batch and it wasn't working correctly. I opened it up and the plastic gasket part was completely chewed up and gone. I think it was my fault I must have inserted it incorrectly. I decided to write the company to see if I could get a replacement part. Not only are they sending me a free gasket but they are sending me a new free blade as well. What a great company. I will be so thrilled to be able to make more Yonana creations | Susie | 2012-07-27 |
Thank you for this wonderful gadget! |
Hello, Just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful gadget! I have told 3 people at work about this super fun machine and they have each told friends whom are all excited to run out and purchase your product. My boys love the product and they are eating loads of fruit and don’t even realize it! Again we all thank you!! |
Tammie | 2012-07-20 |
Highly recommend to anyone | I saw this on Dr. Oz, and thought I would check it out! I can truly say I love it! Easy to use, easy to clean! I have made banana strawberry and banana cherry, both were delish!! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants an easy, refreshing low cal healthy treat! | Donna | 2012-07-20 |
I adore my Yonanas blender | I adore my Yonanas blender now that I have it, I don't know what it is about it, but it just makes frozen fruit so good. I absolutely love this thing. I've used it maybe a dozen times, so I haven't had it very long so I can't speak to how long it will last, but so far it's fantastic. Healthy way to make some treats and use up those brown bananas. | Deyna | 2012-07-20 |
This product is awesome! | I really liked it | Ryan T | 2014-09-22 |
What a Product | I have been using this machine for over a year, what a product. As a diabetic this is as close as I get to dessert, ice cream every day YES! I recently failed to thaw my fruit enough and ripped the silicone seal, no problem two emails later Candice at Yonanas sent a replacement seal and grinder free. Other companies please note this is what customer service looks like. | Michael W | 2014-10-02 |
Love the Yonanas machine! | My 1 year old loves bananas and has quite a sweet tooth. We purchased the Yonanas maker so we can give him a sweet treat that is natural and healthy. He loves it! | Patrick Z | 2014-09-20 |
Incredible! |
Had never heard of this before; first time reading about it in Dr. Oz's The Good Life new magazine. Decided to by it for my birthday. Wow - what a fantastic idea! EASY to use; SIMPLE to clean; DELICIOUS to eat! Buy spotted bananas - 1/2 per serving - and freeze. Buy Dole frozen fruit for convenience. Follow instructions provided - THAW 10-15 minutes is critical. Never need to buy ice cream again; healthier too. |
BillW | 2014-10-21 |
Love it! |
Love this! Can't live without it! |

A hit for a healthy family! | For a family that tries to eat healthy food but still enjoy treats this yonanas has become our fave! Kids ask for yonanas daily and I have no problem with that! I put it in ice cream cones, waffle bowls, or even as a cold breakfast treat. During a staff event at school I brought my Yonanas as a contribution to our staff luncheon ! Wow! Everyone loved making their own combos. | Courtney B | 2014-12-09 |
Love it! |
after my accident lost a lot of my taste, except for fruits and veggies! I can make this and tast every bite! Gonna make Popsicles this week! |

Healthy ice cream alternative | I absolutely love my yonanas maker. I am a healthy eater and enjoy fruit. The yonanas is a delicious alternative. It makes a smooth creamy flavorful ice cream without the added sugar and calories. Best invention ever!! | Darian K | 2015-01-31 |
Love it |
I bought the Yonanas machine for myself. My husband also loves it. Over the holidays I purchased one for my daughter and one for my mother-in-law. My daughter has food restrictions and my mother-in -law is diabetic. They are both able to use them and enjoy a wonderful creamy dessert. My favorite is pineapple. |

AMAZING!!!!!! |
I honestly did not think I would LOVE this machine!!! |

Fabulously Filling Dessert Maker!!! |
We just got our Yonanas Elite last Monday and have been freezing fruit all week in anticipation of taking it for a test spin today! Goodness gracious! This thing is WONDERFUL! We love the delicious soft serve ice cream-like product that comes from feeding it frozen bananas, pineapple and strawberries! We are working our way through the recipe book that came with it to try every combination we can! Best purchase we have made in FOREVER!!! SO GOOD!! |
Vickie H. | 2015-02-16 |
Great artificial sugar alternative |
I am a self-admitted sugar adict. I ordered a yonanas after a friend told me about it and I saw the video. I fgured why not. I love the desserts I can make with my yonanas. It's just frozen fruit but it tastes so muct better. I now get excited about the different combinations of fruit I can make. |
ValerieM | 2015-12-03 |
super Impressed |
I bought this because my husband is always wanting to get the newest latest gadget. I firgured it would just be junk. WOW I was so wrong. I love it! I have been doing the same thing in an old fashion blender-never again. This is so smooth and creamy. Unbelievably delicious This is a super invention. |
Sandra R | 2015-12-03 |
If you are going plant based, this is a MUST |
From the day we received this we have used it every day --for dessert treat! It is AMAZING! We are buying one for each of our three kids and their families. It has made our new diet the easiest ever. I'm still in complete wonderment as to how it manages to transform fresh frozen fruit into a creamy like ice cream?! |
