Question

Do you recommend the Yonanas machine? How is everyone making banana ice cream? My Cuisinart stick blender cannot handle those frozen banana chunks!  

Answer 1

Love my Yonanas machine! We add frozen strawberries often but have tried many recipes. Much faster and easier than a blender. But be aware that bananas, even though they are zero points are high in calories for fruit.

@honeyman also have carbs!

@incoordination76416 Yes, if you are watching your carbs that would also be a factor.  

---

@honeyman blended fruit also counts as points

@bawdyhouse39348 not if you eat it with a spoon. Only if you drink it.

Answer 2

I use my vitamix blender. This is just frozen bananas and frozen cherries.  

Answer 3

Love the Yo Nana. It gives the perfect texture. Love all the recipes on their site.  

Answer 4

I use a regular food processor. A bit loud & shaky at first but comes out smooth & amazing! I used frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, and frozen raspberries

Answer 5

I use a small food chopper with two speeds and it works great and not expensive at all.  

Answer 6

@filbert316 what do you put in to make this?!

@filbert316 which food processor do you have?  

---

@phytography26860 . I always keep frozen bananas in the freezer, for ice cream and smoothies!

@rubric My ‘Ninja’ blender also came with a small food processor and additional blade. Perfect size for this, and you can just take out the blade and eat from the bowl! Also in the pic is the Magic Bullet. great for smoothies.

Answer 15

A food processor or a good blender would be better so you can use it for more than just the banana ice cream.

Yonanas machines are a bit of a pain to clean but I feel like they are worth it. They give me that very real ice cream feeling- I love mine!

Blended fruit counts as points on WW. I found that out a few months ago
