Hey my Gorgeous Darlings! š
Thank you for all of your comments on my last post and guest post! I loved reading all of your responses to my question I asked about sugar. As you know, I am striving for balance, and your comments really mean the world to me! I have grown so much since I have started blogging — and you guys make it all worth it. ThankĀ you for being there for me!!! š
What are some your favorite foods?
I love Chocolate.
I love Strawberries.
I love Vanilla extract.
I loveĀ Chocolate, Strawberry, AND Vanilla.
And because I love Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla, I love the Neapolitan concept — I get to have all three flavorsĀ in one bowl! Hello!
One of the ways I get my three flavors is in the morningĀ is withĀ Neapolitan Oatmeal! š
Neapolitan Oatmeal!
Notes: Serves 1 Single Lady (or Guy)! Oat Bran would be lovely in place of the Rolled or quick oats. Protein powder will work too! Just add 1/3 serving in each part in these three flavors: Vanilla, Strawberry, and Chocolate. You can use peanut butter or almond butter in place of the Walnut Almond Butter. Sweeten oat sections to taste. If you want a more smooth oatmeal, blend the oats in a blender before separating into sections.
Ingredients
- 1 serving of Oatmeal, cooked in either water or milk (make sure oats are uncontaminated if want gluten-free)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla, 1/2 Banana mashed, and spoonfuls of Nut butter (I used my homemade Walnut Almond Butter)
- 1 T Cocoa Powder and Chocolate Chips
- And 3 Strawberries mashed or 1 T strawberry preserves.
Directions
Cook oats (I used the stove top).
Once desired texture isĀ reached, separate oats evenly into three parts.
To one part of oatmeal, add the vanilla and mashed banana. In another part, add the strawberries (and sweeten to taste) or the strawberry preserves. In the last part, add the cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
Stir each part. Then, in the bowl with the strawberry oats, add the other oat sectionsāvanilla on the left and chocolate on the right.
Spread a spoonful of nut butter on top of the vanilla oats.
Top with Chocolate Chips and Strawberries and DEVOUR!
What is one of your favorite flavor trios? Another one of my favorite flavor trios is Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Banana!

I love Neapolitan, too! Except, I usually put coconut with my vanilla š I made a raw Neapolitan cheesecake that was so good š
Oh YUM! Coconut with the vanilla sounds AMAZING!! š
So pretty oatmeal! I love strawberries+chocolate combination, it is pure heaven š I love how creative you get when you prepare your oatmeals. There is nothing better than starting the day (or ending it:) with a huge bowl of oats.
My fave trio? Probably banana+cinnamon+peanut butter š
Walnut Almond Butter sounds pretty good, I think I would really enjoy it š
Have a lovely weekend girl!
Yum I can’t wait to try this!!! Especially with my mom’s homemade strawberry jelly!!!
This is adorable! Growing up, Neapolitan ice cream was my favorite flavor (I was so strange, haha). I would have loved this š
Yum! I don’t know if I have a fave trio flavor combo, but I’m completely weak in the knees for orange and chocolate together. Add some chopped nuts, and I’d probably be in heaven :-). I’d love to see your walnut almond butter recipe. I downloaded your chocolate biscotti and am looking forward to making it soon.
Tell me how you like the biscotti! I’d really love your feedback on it.
What a clever idea for oats. I either do a chocolate combo or a regular combination with vanilla but I love the extra strawberries to turn it into a Neapolitan š
Haha very cute. I just did something like this the other morning with chocolate and vanilla oats. Why settle for one when you can have all? š My fave food trio is def. chocolate, almond butter, and bananas…
I love Neapolitan, but I don’t like oatmeal. Now if you had a recipe for neopolitan oatmeal cookies, I would be in love!
Come to my blog and see what I have for you.
Such a creative bowl of oats! I adore. I can’t wait to see your protein granola bars.
My favorite flavor trio is mint chocolate almond, mmm!
This must be the prettiest oatmeal ever! Sounds delicious too!:)
Lately I have been dipping strawberries in melted coconut butter and then in melted chocolate! That is a great trio too š
I would love the recipe for walnut almond butter š
YUM! Chocolate, Coconut, and Strawberry sounds amazing!! š I bet that would taste good as a “Neapolitan” Oatmeal. š
This looks delish! Neopolitan is one of my fave icecream flavors! And choco, strawbs, and vanilla go great together!
Looking yummy! I’d love to see the ice cream next!! I’m pumped!
I like your creativity with oatmeal! It pains me when people tell me they hate oatmeal. I excuse them thought because I’m sure all they’ve had is gross instant oatmeal.
I absolutely agree with you! Steel Cut Oat and Rolled Oats both taste SO much better than the Instant kind. When you recommend Oatmeal to your patients (is that what you call them?), which kind of oats do you recommend?
This is so cute. I love this idea! I would have never thought to flavor my oatmeal 3 different ways..
This looks too pretty to eat š
Neapolitan ice cream next!
I’m not a big fan of oatmeal, but I did this with a yogurt mess once! I layered each flavor with cereal, walnuts, and bananas in an almost empty peanut butter jar for a banana split type treat. So good! I bet it would work with these oats too!
Oh yum!! That sounds divine! š Tara, you always have the best ideas! š
haha, this is so fun! I never really liked neapolitan ice cream but neapolitan OATMEAL may be a whole nother story! I love normal oats, strawberry oats, AND choc. oats (duhh) so this would no doubt taste great (:
Another combo I’d like would be banana, coconut, and almond (w/ almond butter) or mocha, chocolate, and “cream” (by mixing in a little yogurt & vanilla). There’s so many possibilities!
I like maple cinnamon apple as a flavor combo!
And walnut almond butter sounds great. I can’t get enough of walnuts lately š
I love your creativity!! This looks awesome! I love the different combos š My favorite trio would also have to be chocolate bananas and peanut butter.
I’d love to see your protein granola bar!
YUM! I remember Neapolitan ice cream being my favourite as a kid, now I get to enjoy the flavour sensation in a much healthier way as an adult! What a fantastic idea!
Ooh, very pretty and clever! My mom used to always make me eat super mushy, gross oatmeal when I was a kid, and I haven’t touched it since, but I’m gunna have to try this for breakfast soon. š
You should make it! Oatmeal definitely does NOT have to taste mushy — I LOVE IT!
Mmm what a delicious combo! I love ANYTHING with oats and chocolate…especially something like this! great recipe girl, keep ’em coming:)
You are such a sweetie. Thanks Olivia! I absolutely LOVE your recipes too!! You are such the chef. š
that looks so delicious!! I would love to see the ice cream recipe, mmmhmmm!
What a great oatmeal combo š yum!
that’s a fab recipe! great idea š
I love all of the above–well, except the chocolate aspect. I know, I know, I’m crazy. Sounds delicious either way!
You can use Carob in place of the Chocolate. Do you like Carob?
I don’t like carob either. š¦ Thanks for the suggestion though!
Yummy! I love Neapolitan ice cream so I’m sure I’d love this :D.
Haha that’s so cute!!! I love that idea š
I used to always just eat the chocolate out of the neapolitan ice cream, hehe
Ohmigosh, I love neapolitan! When I was little, I would beg my mom to get the ice cream because it was like the best of all worlds in one magical carton! I haven’t had it in ages though, you’re making me want this!
I’m glad. š
GENIUS š I’ve gotta try this…I think coconut would be awesome in the vanilla, too…and then maybe peanut butter in the chocolate…?
Xo
Now you’re talking! I LOVE IT!
This is awesome!! I love your blog!! (-: Neopolitan style- so creative!!
Oh my gosh this looks delicious!!! This is my first day back after vacation and I have so much to do but I can’t stop going back to this post and looking at the oatmeal!!
Holy moly, that looks amazing. I am totally going to try this with my quinoa flakes. Great IDEA! Can we please get the Walnut Almond Butter next? š
This does sound really good. I love all three of these flavors myself. I would have to agree that putting them all into one bowl sounds like a great idea. Thanks for sharing the recipe and idea.
