How much time between drinking a protein drink and eating should there be?

I try to get in 3 30 oz protein drinks in per day in addition to my three meals. How long between meals and drinks must I wait? Most days I don't get it all in because there isn't enough hours in the day as I have been waiting at least 2 hours between.
