WRT "powdered shakes" and flavors, back in 2002 I was on a medically supervised diet* and was pretty much not allowed to eat anything -- just powdered shakes. They came in two flavors -- vanilla and chocolate -- but I was allowed to add flavoring agents.
I got pretty good at using unsweetend Kool-Aid packets to make the vanilla shakes into other flavors. The orange packet made a pretty decent "cream-sickle" flavor, as I recall. My absolute favorite was a mango flavored drink mix that I found in a local Hispanic market.
Some of the shake manufacturers had (and, I assume, still have) instructions on their web sites to add flavors to their products.
* The diet worked. I'm still overweight, but I've never gone back to my pre-intervention weight. (My waist is currently 6 inches smaller than it was back then.)
