Juice Fast with protien?

I am starting a juice fast tomorrow but i am worried about losing muscle. I know its going to happen while doing this but im trying to keep it as minimal as possible. I've gained a lot of muscle over the past few months and i still plan to lift weights while on the fast but obviously im not going to get enough protien from the vegetables. Has anyone ever done a juice fast while adding whey or casien protien or perhaps drking skim milk? Is adding protien defeating the purpose of the fast altogether? Any insite would be helpful.

I am currently doing Shakeology and that has 15 grams of protein in it. I make the shakes with crushed ice and fruit mixed in our Magic Bullet blender. I would not do a fast with any type of milk. A plain whey protein does not negate the purpose of your fast. Your muscles need protein.0

You can take half of your body weight in BCAA, that is expensive, but it will work.0
