Protein Shakes??

I am going to be starting the South Beach diet in a few days once I do all my homework on what to eat, my question is can we have protein shakes? Prior to SB I was drinking Atkins Protein Shakes because I enjpyed them and knew the protein was good. Can I drink those on Phase 1, the carbs are minimal but there are a few. Thanks for any advice!!
