I'll never forget the first time I discovered the culinary miracle that is putting bananas in the freezer. A frozen banana is its own brand of ice cream, and blends well with virtually any other ingredient — provided you're willing to blend that sucker.

Enter: Yonanas Elite. This wunderkind kitchen appliance has absolutely made my summer. Throw a couple frozen bananas through it and you instantly get soft-serve banana-based ice cream! Mix in berries, peanut butter, chocolate, or booze; this thing knows no limits. In fact, you don't even need bananas. The Yonanas Elite makes sorbet just as easily (and, with this method, there's no need to add sugary simple syrup to create a smooth consistency. All you need is frozen fruit).

Perhaps my favorite feature of the Yonanas Elite (besides every single thing about it) is that it's easy to clean. Complicated cleaning is the number one reason I haven't touched my food processor in a year — and, let's be honest, a food processor ain't that complicated. But, the Yonanas Elite comes apart in three pieces, none of which get gunked up during the fruit-smushing process. SCORE.

00:07Hi guys we're here again with another foodie test lab and today we are trying
00:11out the Yonanas machine and I'm really really excited about it because this
00:16takes frozen bananas and other ingredients and makes it into soft serve
00:20ice cream so it's pretty much the most best thing ever so the first thing you
00:24want to do is peel and freeze your bananas for at least 24 hours and then
00:28take them out and let them thaw for about 10 to 15 minutes so we're gonna start
00:33with something basic I'm just gonna put a banana in there and you can mix it with
00:36any other fruit so I'm gonna add some blackberries
00:49you take a spoon you mix it up but in the end you get this really really nice
00:55banana blackberry soft serve amazingness so we're just gonna make sure it's not
01:02horrible it is not horrible this is really good obviously it's really good
01:09it's bananas and blackberries it's really good let's do one with chocolate
01:16we're gonna put some chocolate chunks in there too it's a little messy but it does look chocolatey and
01:24there are chocolate chips in here and so I'm completely fine with the way it looks but it's
01:28really good you should totally do it put chocolate in your Yonanas machine and don't talk with your
01:33mouthful the other thing about this machine is you don't actually have to make banana based treats
01:38you can make sorbets we're gonna try one with just some berries and mango in here I think this
01:44might be my favorite actually I'm also super excited that you can put alcohol through the
01:48machine you can either soak fruit in alcohol before you put it in the freezer or you can
01:52even add a little while you're going depending on the booze and you can make really cool drinks
01:56so I love the Yonanas machine I love saying Yonanas I love eating Yonanas I think we all can
02:02agree that Yonanas is mandatory now Yonanas Yonanas
