There are a couple of things we do not go without in our home and one of those things are fruit. We always have fresh or frozen fruit on hand for snacking, tossing into our greek yogurt, or making a smoothie (we live on these). But things got a little crazy, and I mean awesome crazy when I got a birthday present from my mom in the mail.
Have you heard of the Yonanas? You can use it to turn frozen fruit into the constancy of soft serve ice cream, so much so you really don't miss ice cream, seriously.
So what is it? I would say its a counter top combination blender/chopper, except you would never get results like this with those devices. It has tiny blades that rotate in a circle on the inside of the device to crush the fruit. The blade can not be accessed while the device is in use, making it safe for children to use with supervision.
Wondering how it works? You place froze fruit of your choice in the shoot, press down and wallah! Soft serve yummy fruit deliciousness! To get the perfect consistency they recommend that you use a banana with each of your creations since it adds that real creaminess, but its not totally necessary. Its also suggested to let your fruit thaw a little before using it (i'm not that patient). You can also microwave it for 10 seconds before processing it. Be sure not to overdue it though.
Clean up is a super easy. All detachable pieces can be thrown into the dish washer or very easily rinsed. A good amount of fruit is left in the unit, so be sure to spoon all of that goodness into a bowl before being put to wash.
My favorites are banana, mango, and strawberry banana. Black berries and raspberries still leave behind quite a bit of seeds still, so the kiddies or picky adults may not love that. I would highly recommend the Popsicle maker accessory that is offered with it as well if you dont already have some. They make the most awesome frozen fruit bars with what's left over. It also comes with a little quick reference recipe booklet.
When to enjoy it? ANYTIME!! Its just fruit :-)
The only thing negative I can say about it is that it is noisy, but so is my blender :-)
I highly recommend the Yonanas for every household.
Yonanas can be purchased online or locally at the following retailers.
oh my gah!! I want one!
