its just sweet enough to be palatable at this point, i wish i could go all out with zero added sugars
Rather than completely cutting out added sugars, gradually reduce them and if possible substitute something else, like honey, molasses or real maple syrup. There are plenty of natural complex carbohydrates in this drink which should be providing you with plenty of energy. Also, if you are craving sweetness, try using some more fruit in the drink mix. Just to change it up sometimes, leave out the cabbage and use fresh berries or sliced peaches for example. Another thing you might try is plain non-fat yogurt in place of the milk. It should improve the texture plus aid digestion. Just because you aren't eating protein from meat or eggs doesn't mean you should up the drink quantity. An eight or ten oz glass of your drink a couple times a day should be ample.
Remember to use raw foods as opposed to cooked foods as often as possible. Cooking food speeds reduces nutrients. Raw foods are also better for the digestive system because they give it plenty to do.
If you aren't allergic to wheat products, you might add some grains to your diet. For example a spoonful of wheat germ added to your drink should be good. To keep the protein levels up, eat nuts or natural nut butters (not Skippy or some other brand that adds sugar). Again raw and roasted nuts are best. Pumpkin seeds should make a good snack too. You'll want to roast the pumpkin seeds though.
