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. Cheetahspotted 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).
Eileen McHale
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
