FUN, DELICIOUS & HEALTHY RECIPES

On behalf of everyone at YonanasTM, thank you for your purchase!

As the inventor, I am thrilled to say that your fun, delicious and healthy journey is about to begin. It all starts in your freezer with some frozen bananas. Bananas are a perfect food in many ways. Not only are they fat free with no sodium or cholesterol, but they contain a high dose of potassium, which is an essential ingredient in keeping your heart and nervous system in good shape. Bananas are also a great source of dietary fiber. Being healthy never tasted so good!

You’ll find more than a dozen recipes in this book, but your creativity can take you wherever you want to go—Mixed Berry Yonanas, Cherry Chocolate Yonanas and even a Peanut Butter & Jelly Yonanas. After years of experimenting I can share with you an important tip—start with ripe bananas. Cheetah-spotted bananas will enhance the flavor of your Yonanas significantly. I have found that Yonanas is a tasty way to utilize those ripe fruits that would normally garner a scowl from your finicky five-year old (or that finicky 40-year old for that matter).

My passion for healthy foods led me to the natural foods industry, a catering business and culinary school. After creating programming to promote better nutrition for school kids across the country, I realized that good food makes life great and good food that is healthy makes life even better. When you make Yonanas, you are transforming bananas and other fruits into a powerful and life-enhancing treat. Think of it as healthy ice cream that you can eat at breakfast, lunch, dinner or anytime. That’s just bananas you say? No that’s Yonanas!

Enjoy,

Eileen

All recipes make 1-2 servings. You can use frozen fruit, but for

a softer Yonanas you will want to have the fruit slightly thawed

prior to putting in the machine. Enjoy!
