19. Protein drinks, mixes, cancer diet smoothy recipes etc.?

Does anyone have a source of or some favorite recipes they can share? Tons online but I prefer something someone has tried and used and has known success with.

I need a way to get some easy to prepare and drinkable calories in me for those times when real food is just not an option. Ensure causes extreme gastric distress for me (so I avoid it if at all possible), otherwise the taste is ok and I like it.

I do like and can tolerate prepared protein powders that you can mix with water and other ingredients to make smoothies. They can be whey based, rice based or made from some other source but taste is important. A lot of them are just plain horrible and all of them are fairly expensive.

Suggestions welcome!
