Aloha! This creamy Neapolitan Chia Smoothie is a result of me being indecisive, haha. I was planning to make a vanilla chia smoothie but this was the end results. Why have one flavor when you can have three, right! T
he vanilla layer is kinda mixed in to the strawberry here. I didn't let it set before layering so it blended a bit but if you want nice distinct layers just let your flavor layers set a bit before doing it! I used Mamma Chia White Chia seeds for this recipe giving added nutritional value including a big boost of protein! You can use black Chia seeds, white seeds just give you a better color :). Oh ya, you can freeze this into creamy Popsicle's and its amazing!! Enjoy !
