Then read on for three sweet recipes.
DIY Açaí Bowl
Seriously, you won’t be missing Pura Vida’s $12 bowl once you whip this up. Your taste buds and wallet will thank you.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 frozen banana, slightly thawed and sliced into chunks
- 1 packet unsweetened 100% pure frozen açaí (try Trader Joe’s or SAMBAZON from Target)
- Accessories: fresh/frozen fruits/berries, honey, coconut, granola, nuts, Greek yogurt, seeds, cacao nibs, nut butter
Steps:
- Without opening the bag, use your hands to break apart the frozen açaí into pieces. Then cut open the packet with scissors and squeeze out the açaí onto a plate.
- Insert the banana and açaí chunks down the chute of the Yonanas, alternating ingredients. Position a bowl underneath the mouth of the Yonanas.
- Flip the switch to on and press down on the handle to churn. Once the churning stops, disassemble the parts to scoop out the remaining contents from inside.
- Finish off your açaí bowl with your favorite toppings, serve and enjoy!

All berries, no BS.
Ingredients:

Steps:
- Insert the frozen berries down the chute of the Yonanas. Position a bowl underneath the mouth of the Yonanas.
- Flip the switch to on and press down on the handle to churn. Once the churning stops, disassemble the parts to scoop out the remaining contents from inside.

Oreo “Nice Cream”
A dairy-free, vegan-friendly remix of cookies ‘n’ cream that’s even better than the real deal.
