Sweet things are so icky now
I don't drink protein shakes either, I do greek yogurt, a LOT of cheese, edamame beans, a LOT of beef jerky, lunch meat, steak tips, refired beans.. ect I seem to be able to get in 65 a day and be under 800 caloires but that means almost everything I eat has to be protein. But it's better than the nasty shakes!
I ended up really watering it down. I used a 4 cup drinking bottle. 1 cup non-fat milk, vanilla protein powder, some cinnamon, 2 1/2 cups water, ice to the top and shake well.
Watch out though. I was a die hard chocolateholic before and for 4 months after surgery, the thought of chocolate made me sick. That has passed and I'm love chocolate again. So tastes change.
Good luck.

My sweet tooth completely went away. I eat lots of cottage cheese, eggbeaters, cheese, tofu, edamame, yogurt, veggie burgers and black beans for protein.
I do a protein smoothie every morning, with kefir, unflavored protein powder and half a banana. It's a little sweet, but tart from the kefir.

I second the greek yogurt idea. If you can get a cup down, it's 23g of protein! (at least for the Fage in the 17oz containers...). I also have Unjury chicken soup, which has 20g protein per serving. I drink lactose-free milk which as 8g protein per cup. Worst case, hold your nose as you try to get the shake down....
I've given away so much protein powder b/c various things just are too sweet for me... Still holding on to a few in the hopes another month will prove me wrong.

Unjury makes a Protein Chicken Broth that is divine! It's a nice change of pace from the cold, sweet shakes and has the same amount of protein (20 or 25 grams I believe). I still use it all the time! www.unjury.com. The also make the best unflavored protein powder IMO. I add this to soups, chili, casseroles, anything really. Good luck! :)
I just bought some of this.

I have found it is pretty tasteless and easy to add to food to increase the protein. You could try adding it to things like meatloaf, soups and oatmeal.
