FOOD PREPARATION
• Always – Use bananas that are "cheetah spotted" before freezing. "Cheetah spots are
a sign that the banana is over-ripe, and the more brown spots, the sweeter the banana.
Cheetah spotted bananas make the best Yonanas!"
• Always – Peel over-ripe bananas before freezing.
• Always – Freeze peeled over-ripe bananas and other frozen fruits for at least 24 hours
before using the Yonanas maker.
• Always – Make sure the chute is locked in place in the 12 o'clock position on the base.
• Always – Stir Yonanas for desired soft serve ice cream consistency.
For best results, Yonanas should have the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Each fruit and each
freezer is different, but typically your fruit and other frozen ingredients should slightly thaw for 7-10
minutes prior to making Yonanas. You'll quickly find the right thawing time for every fruit.

Why cheetah spotted bananas? Cheetah
spots are a sign that a banana is over-ripe,
and the more brown spots, the sweeter the
banana. Cheetah spotted bananas make
