This is a great drink - I enjoy it for a quick ice cream fix! Phase 1 changed a couple of years ago and you are now allowed 2 cups of milk daily (including yogurt).

This is actually pretty good. I don't like artificial sweeteners too much, so I'm sure i will like it even more when I can have real sugar in it.

Thank you, thank you! This may single-handedly make me succeed on this diet. I am normal not a sweet-lover, but for some reason have been craving them! I do try and avoid artifical sweetner, but may have to make an exception at least during Phase 1 until I can have fruit. This really hit the spot!
