drop the whole milk post-workout and have 20-30g of dextrose instead
as for somthing sweet, try crystal light, or adding some splenda or other sugar-substitute to somthing.
also, what is the breakdown of your diet? it looks like quite a bit of protein, but not much fat.

Trust me Rocky, the more you abstain from sweet things while in ketosis, the better it will be. The only reason why I am personally against having sweet things (besides during carbup) is that once you start getting used to having "the little sweet extra," you start to add more and more sweet tasting diet foods until the diet just starts to become plain frusterating because you start to crave "real" sugar, and the diet just becomes an exercise in futility. try to abstain from sweet things during your 5 day "on" period and use the weekend carb up to reward yourself with a few sweet tasting foods.
Obviously, i dont know you, but in my case, when i started adding diet foods and sugar free candies to my keto diet, i never made any progress because I was constantly craving sweets. Not only that some sugar substitutes (save splenda) have been known to slow down weight loss (aspartame) or kick you out of ketosis.
If you do decide to add a couple sweet tasting beverages, may I recommend Diet Rite?
Best of luck.
