Bananas and the Yonanas Maker

Hi everyone,

I am wondering what we are allowed in terms of bananas once we are on diet for life? My gf purchased and loves the Yonanas maker. Apparently it turns fruit into a soft-serve ice cream texture.  However, when I watch the video it seems like the lady is putting 2 or 3 bananas in to make a bowl, that would probably serve 2 people eating normal meals, but I would say about maybe 4 or 6 servings for RNYers. The bananas can also be mixed with other fruits i.e. strawberries, blueberries etc.

Anyhow, before I even think about purchasing one I was hoping to hear from some folks about the amt of fruit we are allowed...do you think it would be a smart purchase or no?

Thanks

There is no reason NOT to eat bananas

I was eating about 1/3c- 1/2c of different fruits (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries) I could eat a medium size banana (although it took me about an hour... it doesn't take me that long now)

I would buy one, it would be great in the summer months!

Thanks Leanne for the reply!

I eat/drink bananas almost every day.  Either on their own or in a smoothie there's no reason to avoid them.  I'm gonna look up that Yonanas thing and maybe get one myself :)

My gf in Ohio, loves them so much she has convinced 5 different family members/friends to buy one lol.

Think I just may investigate further. I am thinking we could also add things for protein..i.e. sugar free peanut butter...etc

Frozen bananas blend very well in a food processor so I'd not purchase an expensive Yonana. I have a little food processor that I use for blending frozen bananas and they turn out just like soft serve. I'm a total kitchen gadget ***** but wouldn't waste my money on that. I have blended frozen bananas with frozen strawberries or frozen raspberries or frozen mango and they all turn out exactly like the yonana commercial. My little food processor is good for more than the soft serve thing so it's a better bang for my buck.

Took the words right out my mouth. That thing is a gimmick. I do same as Tracey and its PERFECT!

Thanks for your input Tracey and kissingtoads.

I went out and bought the yonanas and I LOVE it. I use 1 banana and a small amount  of other fruit I eat some and put the rest away for later. I think it's a great buy it's nice to have a yummy treat. Im 5 months out and never had any problems.

Thanks very much Carole.
