Yonanas????????

[bajaespuma]

Have any of you had any experience with one of these products? On face value, it's a great idea especially for someone like myself who has diabetes; they say it will take any frozen fruit or vegetable (without having to add sugar or other stuff) and turn it into something resembling a frozen dessert. I'm wondering how well it works and how wonderful or not the final product is.

Yonanas?

I don't know how bad your diabetes is or how long you have had it. I am a diabetic myself and have had to spend way too much time with nutritionists.

Fruit as a rule is very high in sugar and I have to watch the quantity that I eat.
If the "Yonanas" is any good, it would be too much of a temptation sitting on the kitchen counter...

I have adult-onset (diabetes 2) and whole fresh fruit is never an issue. I'm not supposed to indulge in fruit juices and fortunately I've been able to cut them out of my life without any trouble.

 

This appliance appeals to me because it would seem that I could give myself an occasional special treat without overindulging. It looks like a poor man's Paco Jet but that may be just wishful thinking. I'm thinking of buying one but I'd like to hear a review from someone who has one before I lay the money down.

I save over rip bananas, cut them up and freeze in zip lock bags. When I have enough I throw them into food processor (usually with a little milk) and whizz them until they are like soft serve. OMG great.

a friend has one.....but yeah, a food processor could do the same thing....

I could go either way, not something I have to have....give it time, they will start showing up in thrift stores.....

although, if you get the chance, frozen bananas, and toss in a reese's peanutbutter cup with them.....probably the best chunky monkey you will ever have...
