Do we have to drink protein shakes?

I have a question. I'm currently pre-op, but I'm looking for high protein foods now so I know what I'll be able to eat later on. My question is this: My mom gave me a can of whey powder. Are we allowed to make our own protein shakes, or do they have to come already made? (Well, sort of) My thought was, if I make a shake using the whey powder, and some sugar free yogurt and some extra vanilla for flavoring, and some milk to thin it down, why couldn't I make my own? I'd love to use fruit, but I'm not sure if I would be able to handle it. I've even thought about adding some flaxseed oil to the mix as well. Can somebody give me an idea as to whether this would be a good idea or not? I don't want to think this would be good and then find out it would be bad for me. Thanks in advance for any responses I may receive! -naomi
