Non-dairy Banana Pineapple Ice Cream is an all-natural alternative to traditional ice cream. Turn your frozen fruit into a healthy sweet treat in just minutes.
Over twenty-five years ago a shop opened up on the Ocean City, New Jersey boardwalk called The Bashful Banana. The shop was opened by a fellow Penn State Nutrition alumni and her husband. The Bashful banana sold smoothies and Banana Whip. Long before Yonana’s started selling their machines the Bashful Banana was selling banana whip that they used (and still use) a juicer to create the ice cream-like healthy treat.
I have thought about buying a Yonanas
Why make banana pineapple ice cream?
- Banana Whip is simply frozen ripe bananas mashed and creamed to resemble ice cream.
- You don’t need any additional ingredients.
- This treat is great for anyone trying to eat less sugar.
- You can add different frozen fruits to change the taste. Great toppings include coconut, nuts, granola, fresh fruit, and my favorite chocolate chips.
Tips for making banana pineapple ice cream:
- You may need to blend in stages, stopping to scrape the sides of the container.
- Depending on the strength of your machine you may want to let the fruit defrost for a few minutes just to soften it.
- My favorite combination is pineapple and banana. You can prepare this Banana pineapple ice cream in just minutes!

Hi Ya Jen! I haven't tried this Banana Pineapple Ice Cream yet because I have a question first. On the pineapple do you use fresh pineapple and then cut in chunks and freeze or can you use a can of pineapple chunks, drain the juice and lay single on a tray and put in freeze to freeze? Don't know if this would work or not but I usually have pineapple chunks in a can (Dole) I keep in my pantry all the time! Hope to hear from you soon so I can make it!
Jennifer Lynn-Pullman says
I use fresh pineapple and freeze the chunks. I haven't tried canned.
Dianne Bentz says
I use leftover canned pineapple rings or chunks and it works great! So much better than the bananas alone! (Sorry this comment is so late!)
