Neapolitan Protein Smoothie
, by Scarlett Full, 1 min reading time
As a kid, I used to lovvvvve the look of neapolitan ice cream, especially in an ice cream sandwich! Then I became a dietitian and realized, though not bad as an ocassional treat, there’s not much nourishment coming out of those creamy choco-nilla-strawberry layers. So of course I challenged myself and turned into a nutritious, high protein smoothie. I personally used it as my post workout breakfast, but I bet this would be great just about anytime–like a health dessert perhaps? Maybe make a batch and save it in the freezer to split with your kids or significant other.
If you’re short on time, use the short cut directions. But if you really have nothing to do then try the deconstructed version.

A high powered blender or processor is recommended. Each layer should be thick enough to sustain their “layering” potential, so add ice as needed to each portion. Blend the vanilla rice protein with the banana and 3-4 ounces of liquid and a few ice cubes for the vanilla portion. Blend the strawberries, chia and 2-3 ounces of liquid for the strawberry portion. Blend the chocolate pea protein, PB2 with 2-3 ounces of water and a few ice cubes for the chocolate portion.
