Yonanas Classic Frozen Fruit Soft Serve Maker for Healthy Vegan and Dairy-Free Treats, 200W Silver Machine with 36 Recipes, BPA Free, Easy to Clean, Quick and Simple to Use

I found this after googling "paleo ice cream" and bought it right away. It arrived, and I had already peeled frozen bananas waiting in the freezer. It came already assembled, and the only thing I had to do was plug it in. I read the instructions, and thawed my bananas for fifteen minutes. It does say in one area of the booklet to thaw for five minutes, but in a different area it states 15. Go for the 15. Five minutes would have resulted in ice chips, I feel. I dropped one banana in, and then a handful of chocolate chips, and then pushed another banana in, and out came amazing soft serve banana-chocolate chip ice cream, with no weird fillers, no weird chemicals, and no weird fake colors. I was shocked. You see these things on tv and don't actually expect them to work as described, but this one made ice cream like a champ. For what it's worth, the booklet that comes with the machine suggests over and over to use "cheetah spotted bananas" because they're sweeter, but I prefer a stronger banana flavor and less sweetness, so I was perfectly happy using fresh bananas. They don't affect the actually yonana consistency. Some notes. I had no issues with leaking, but I did make sure the leak stopping gasket was installed correctly, per instruction booklet. It wasn't hard. I had no issues with clean up. While your ice cream is sitting on the counter doing its thing, it takes a literal sixty seconds to pop the Yonana maker apart and rinse clean. For people who say a lot of yonana is left in the machine, I would concur, however, I took a spoon and easily scooped out the ice cream left in the machine and put it into my bowl. It was still the proper yonana consistency and taste. Just don't lick the blades with your tongue to get ALL the yonana out and you'll be okay. Some people complained it takes two bananas to make one serving, which is true, however, considering two bananas is only about 250 calories, that's not a bad deal I figured. If for some reason 250 calories of plain fruit isn't in your diet plan, you can freeze half. I tried it, and it makes ice cream that is scoopable, like a pint you would buy from the store. I did not find the machine unbearably noisy. It took me longer to decide how many chocolate chips to put into the machine then it actually took the machine to make the ice cream. The noise is no louder than a blender and is on for far less time. One last thing- when the yonana is coming out of the machine I found that far less is left in the machine if the bowl is shorter and flatter and turned as the yonana comes out. However, once you're done plunging it really is not a big deal to pop the blade housing off the machine and scoop out the "still inside the machine" yonana, in the event your bowl turning skills are lacking (as mine for sure were). I would recommend Yonanas to all my friends. They're always asking me to bring it over so they can push fruit and chocolate or peanut butter through. For the record, I do find that a small food processor and a blender make almost the same consistency, but not quite. We tried with a food processor and the blades are just too big to make a nice soft serve consistency. The Yoanana's blade are very tiny. With the blender it took forever having to shove the fruit back down into the blades. If you're paleo, or just don't want to eat ice cream with crazy amounts of sugar or weird stuff inside, buy this thing. Follow the instructions, mildly thaw your frozen fruit, and enjoy.

Okay, I know I'm late to the party, since this device has been around over a decade, but Yonanas is awesome! This machine can take frozen fruit and turn it into a soft serve ice cream consistency without anything else added! I've been interested in it for a long time, but always thought it'd be silly to have a device like this that can basically only do one thing (as opposed to a blender) but I just found it cheaper than normal on Amazon (the "classic" version for around 30 instead of 50) so as a lactose intolerant person I decided to finally get one and give it a try. We just finished our first attempt, which was a mix of two bananas, some strawberries and blackberries. It made a lot more than we expected, around 10 scoops! It was a bit softer than it'd be normally because I let the frozen fruit thaw longer than the recommended 7-10mins, but it was still great. The texture was creamy and perfect (besides some seeds from the berries), had nice flavor, and I am really happy and looking forward to trying a lot of other combinations. I rarely eat fruit but now this will definitely "trick" me into eating more. And since it's so healthy it doesn't feel as bad making it fancier with chocolate sauce or sprinkles. I really like the idea of using this to make an easy icebox pie too! That should really impress everyone at a party. The included recipe book is beautiful (and in a few languages), and there are a lot of other great ideas on their website and elsewhere online. The noise level wasn't as bad as I expected based on other reviews. Seems like a normal blender volume? So yes, noisy, but not enough to give me a headache or make it difficult to talk to someone next to you. And this machine works quickly too, so it's not on for long (and isn't supposed to be on for longer than 2mins at a time). Cleaning it really wasn't that bad either. My husband quickly rinsed everything while I was taking pictures to show to everyone, haha. Based on reading and watching video reviews, I already knew to open the unplugged machine and get the extra mixture out with a small spatula to not waste anything like some people complained about. It really didn't take long. And it honestly makes sense that there would be some left inside since it slowly mixes everything together as it grinds the frozen fruits. I also cut the bananas into smaller pieces before freezing so I could alternate the fruits quicker for a better blended finished product (see images). This was definitely a winner! I'm very glad I purchased this, and even my husband (who doesn't have lactose intolerance like I do) was impressed and said he'd be happy to eat more (but maybe mixtures with less tiny seeds since he found that odd in an otherwise creamy "nice cream"). The fruit can really pack a punch for flavor, but the banana can help mellow out sour/tart notes.

Meilleurs pour faire des glace naturels

Muy bueno para hacer nieves de fruta natural congelada

La máquina es buena y cumple su función, no me gustó el sabor ni la consistencia de las bananas parecía puré chicloso, quizás no las congelé lo suficiente, pero seguiré probando con otras frutas y haciendo nuevas combinaciones

انفجر الفيوز منذ اللحظة الاولى من التشغيل و اصبح غير قابل للاستعمال و تسبب في قطع الكهرباء عن المطبخ و عند محاولة اصلاحه تبين ان الجهاز عبارة عن هيكل خارجي فقط و محرك صغير و بدون وجود اية مكونات داخليه يعني الجهاز لم يصنع ليعمل

Defective product It is a scam
