Springtime is flying by, the weather is warming up, and it’s almost summer time! One of my favorite things about the beginning of summer is the abundance of fresh fruit beginning to ripen. In fact, my mom and I took our first trip of the season to a local orchard by our home to pick strawberries and like usual we picked way too many! Luckily, I had a brand new Yonanas machine to experiment with!

What’s a Yonanas machine you ask? It’s a machine that turns slightly thawed frozen fruit into a delicious desert similar to ice cream without the added sugar, saturated fat, and additives that may be lurking in your typical ice cream cone.  The texture of the frozen treat is smooth and creamy unlike the result you would get if you put the frozen fruit in a blender. The machine is simple to use, it assembles in a lock and twist fashion, and disassembles into three parts making cleaning a breeze!

Instead of using our extra strawberries to make a sugar sweetened high fat dessert my mom and I used the yonanas machine to make a completely natural frozen dream consisting of only strawberries and bananas! The Yonanas machine can be used to make a variety of delicious treats for example you can try adding nonfat dairy or nuts for a little added protein. So if you’re looking for a healthy way to treat yourself this summer we recommend Yonanas.
