Hello there,
I hope this will be of help to you.

I have a 5 year old daughter, so I have gone through the two year old stage already. I think it's a phase. Your child will likely start eating normally soon.

For starters, try to increase her milk intake since that is something she likes. Try adding some enrichment to it like Ovaltine to one of the servings, if you like.

Try offering colorful fruits and veggies that are steamed or raw for her to eat, make it look like fun, you eat a piece and offer her some. She may actually try it.

If you are not already doing this, also ask your child's doctor about vitamins. This will probably ease your mind if you know she is at least getting supplements.

Also, if you child is gaining weight, not loosing weight, that is a decent sign that everything is mostly okay.

Just keep encouraging her, and also one more bit of advice, offer her food before offering her the milk and see if she isn't just full from drinking the milk since milk is a solid and can be filling to small children.

Good luck Mom!
