INGREDIENTS

1 cup fresh strawberries USDA
0 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt, whole milk FNDDS
2 shake Atkins Strong Vanilla High Protein Shake
0 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped leaves USDA
2 Tbsp chia seeds FNDDS

DIRECTIONS

Ingredient note: we suggest using chilled Atkins shakes for this recipe.

Using 2 17-ounce glasses, use a small basting or pastry brush and 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt to create stripes on the inside of each glass, about 1 tablespoon yogurt in each glass. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
Wash and remove stems from strawberries. In a blender, combine strawberries and 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, blending until an even puree forms. Remove glasses from the freezer and use 2 tablespoons of strawberry puree to create stripes on each of the glasses. Place back in the freezer.
Into the blender with the remaining strawberry puree, add chilled Atkins Strong Vanilla High Protein Shakes, chopped fresh basil, and chia seeds. Blend immediately on high until frothy and chia seeds are broken down. Divide evenly between the two glasses from the freezer and enjoy!

Cooking Tip

Note that you can make this fun and delicious smoothie for one, but you may not be able to get the strawberries to puree in a standard blender. An immersion blender might work better, or you could use a mortar and pestle to smash the strawberries into a puree.
