That sounds good and I also wanted to add that since she is so picky with her drinks, maybe consider the 's aloe vera juice(no taste/smell) and put in her milk. Honestly we didnt have much success with george's brand and use more whole form but maybe you can try and just use more than we did. We switched due to it cost close to $20(and needed much more) verses the $7 brand we now use and the proccessing was less. Once we switched i seen the georges else where much cheeper but just decided to stick with our new brand since it works. But there is a mild taste! So maybe the george's could work for her!
