I'm struggling to get all my protein

I was sleeved on 2/7. I've been cleared for soft foods (moist fish, chicken, etc) and can start adding in anything I can tolerate (except tough meats) on Friday. I'm eating well. My Nut and Dr. Have me on high Protein, low carbs. They both say to continue with Protein shakes for a while with my foods to get in 70-80 grams a day. I was doing fine with shakes, but the past few days it takes everything in me to get them down. I thought it might be the milk, but I've tried the syntax nectar lemonade today and I can't get past the smell.
Any helpful hints? I've tried adding Peanut Butter, for anti syrups, PB2, etc, but then the shakes are thick or too sweet.
