What kind of protein do you have? What flavor?

If you like coffee flavored drinks, a spoonful of instant decaf coffee makes vanilla and chocolate shakes taste good.  It helps cover up that protein smell/taste, too.

I like protein shakes made in the blender with some ice cubes, so they are more thick and kinda like a milkshake.

You can also put protein powder in hot drinks, like coffee or hot chocolate (go for sugar free).  To do that, I put a scoop of protein powder in a couple ounces of room temp liquid and stir to make a paste, then stir that paste in to the hot drink.

You can mix protein powder with crystal light.  LIke, you could put strawberry protein powder in crystal light lemonade to make strawberry lemonade.

You can add a spoonful of sugar free pudding mix to make different flavors.  You can add extracts, like you find in the baking aisle at the store.  You could put a drop of mint extract in a chocolate shake, for instance.  Only start with a drop, though, those things are strong!  You can buy sugar free syrups like they put in coffee drinks to change up the flavors in your shakes.  I put peach flavored syrup in a vanilla shake, amarretto syrup in a cappuccino shake, raspberry syrup in either a vanilla shake or cappuccino shake, etc.

Check out Nic's site:Bariatric Foodie or Shelly's site:The World According to Eggface. They both have lots of variations for shakes. Love them!!
