Welcome Bubba,
According to MFP, a Health One mix has 24g of carbs, and 20g of that are SUGAR. That to me is not a low carb shake and adding fruit only makes it worse. One concern would be a fast-acting hit of sugar like that will continue to stoke your carb and sugar cravings. LC works because the cravings and hunger are reduced. If you are following Atkins induction, http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=236482 it blows right through your daily carb limit with one drink.
I make a shake with a few berries, greens and almond milk, but the protein mix used has Zero Carbs.

Consider introducing yourself here http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=37. Tell us more about your goals and other members can suggest alternatives.
All the best,
