yes, it's pretty good. and yes, it's allowed on induction. if you go to atkinscenter.com they have a shopping section with all the Atkins products (and some others) and each product has little colored sqaures next to it which say 1,2,3, or 4...these numbers stand for the phases of Atkins that the product is good for ("1" being the induction phase). The shakes have a 1,2,3 and 4 next to them, so they're ok for every phase. hope that helps. by the way, the Atkins powdered shake mix tastes nothing like the Atkins ready-to-drink shakes in the cans...try both.
