Yonana


Do you crave sweets after dinner?  Are you always grabbing that half gallon of ice cream or forbidden cookie from the cupboard?  Well now you don’t have to feel guilty about satisfying your sweet tooth because there is a product that turns fruit into dessert in less than ten seconds.

What I’m talking about is the Yonana Machine.  It makes delicious, creamy, low-cost, healthy frozen treats that taste like soft serve ice cream.  The added bonus is that you will easily be able to get your daily serving of fruits using this simple machine.  Fruits contain so many vitamins and mineral essential for overall health and not enough Americans eat 2-3 servings of fruit/day.

I love this machine because it saves our over-ripe bananas.  We often have bananas that are ready to be trash so instead of wasting them, I peel them and put them in the freezer to be used in our protein shakes.  Well now we can turn those frozen bananas into a cool treat.  Yes the machine is made for bananas specifically but you can add other frozen berries, dark chocolate and even nuts to create a healthy and delicious dessert.  The Yonana machine parts are dishwasher safe and comes with a recipe book.

Here are some banana facts from the Yonana website.

·         Bananas are high in potassium, a mineral that helps in the building of muscles and protein synthesis as well as brain function.

·         Bananas contain all natural energy from three natural sugars: sucrose, fructose and glucose.

·         Bananas contain no sodium, fat or cholesterol

·         Bananas contain vitamin B6 and tryptophan which help elevate feelings of pleasure

Yonanas are sold at Target, Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Amazon, Kohls and other retailers.  Check it out online at http://www.yonanas.com/

I love ice cream and this totally convinced me that I don’t need it on a daily basis to curb my sweet tooth.
