Strawberry, Banana, Chocolate Neopolitan Layered Oats

Can you guess what my favorite ice cream flavor is from the title of this post? Well, if you can’t, it’s obviously Neapolitan! The vanilla, strawberry and chocolate flavors combine perfectly in your mouth while the ice cream slowly melts resulting in a great childhood memory. If you didn’t know, Neapolitan ice cream is extremely processed, only fake ingredients. The vanilla is made with artificial vanilla extract, the strawberry layer is made with strawberry “flavoring”, and the chocolate is not even made with real cocoa. Yes, I know, it’s a sad truth, but I have some great news. I recreated these flavors in a breakfast parfait that I like to call Neopoliatian Layered Oats, the all-natural version. The pink layer is made with real strawberries, the “white” layer is made with bananas and real vanilla extract and the chocolate layer is made with real cocoa. Preservative free and great tasting, you will be wondering why you have not had Neapolitan flavors in oats, ever. Bye-bye Preservative and sugar-filled fake ice-cream, and hello to the fresh, new and all-natural way to have your favorite flavors for breakfast!
