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).

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
