I saw this recipe photo and immediately thought of neapolitan ice cream and then I read that was exactly what Monique at the AmbitiousKitchen blog was after, lol! She loved it as a child, but I hated it as a child – it always seemed insipid compared to others. i love chocolate ice cream now, though – the creamier the better, lol! *happy dance*
Monique’s recipe for this layered banana split with strawberry and chocolate is at the end of the post. She says …
Smoothies aren’t just for breakfast though; I’ll often have one an hour or so before bed. I especially love when you can make them taste like ice cream, which is exactly what today’s smoothie reminds me of … My version calls for banana in the middle because I kind of wanted it to be like a banana split.
Please turn to the Next Page for the recipe …

Recipe: Low Calorie Neapolitan Banana Split Smoothie
Serves 1; 229 cals
Ingredients:
For the chocolate layer:
- 1 frozen ripe Banana
- 2 tablespoons vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (or raw cacao powder)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk or Cashew Milk
For the banana layer:
- 1 frozen ripe Banana
- 2 tablespoons vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk or Cashew Milk
For the strawberry layer:
- 8 frozen strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Protein Powder of choice
- 1/4-1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk or Cashew Milk
Monique’s Instructions:
- Make the chocolate layer first: In a blender, add in frozen banana, protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds and milk. It should be THICK. Divide between 2 medium glasses and place in the freezer.
- Rinse the blender, then make the banana layer by adding frozen banana, protein powder, chia seed and milk. Blend until thick, smooth and creamy. Gently layer banana smoothie onto chocolate smoothie, gently spooning it around the inside edge of the glass. Place glasses back inside the freezer.
- To make the strawberry layer: Blend strawberries, protein powder and almond milk together. Again, you want this to be pretty thick, but you may need to add in more almond milk to make it blend. Once strawberry smoothie is thick and creamy, gently spoon it over the chocolate layer. Place glasses back in the freezer again for a few minutes, then enjoy!
