How Do I Make Protein Shakes Taste Good

Hello, I'm new to working out and am on a diet that has increased my protein intake. I'm trying to eat healthier and include more protein in my breakfast. I figure protein shakes are the best way to do this, as I have a bit of a sweet tooth.

How do I make them not chalky? Flavor-wise, the stevia or splenda in the powder is fine. I don't need it to taste sweeter. I just don't like the texture of shakes.

Most of the protein powders I have to drink are Whey Isolate or Vegan. I am lactose intolerant, and for some reason Whey protein powder makes me sick. The second I finish half a shake of Whey protein, I end up in the bathroom for an hour. Whey Isolate doesn't have as big of an effect, because most of the milk proteins are gone. Other lactose-free or Vegan options like Pea Protein or various others I do have in my shelf. But every time I try to make a shake, it ends up being chalky.

I know you can put add ins, so I'll just say that I hate the taste of bananas in food. It's an overpowering flavor, and then I can't get myself to finish it.

I want to be able to use the powders I have, instead of needing to buy pre-made liquid shakes. But, if there isn't a better option for vegan/lactose free shakes, I guess I'll have to buy the more expensive pre-made ones.

Additional Info: I know there are other ways to get in protein for breakfast. I don't enjoy cooking a large meal for breakfast, I'd prefer something quick. I also don't tend to eat a lot of meats in the morning.

I do like Greek yogurt, and can eat it with protein powder as flavored yogurt. But due to my lactose intolerance I have to get specific kinds or get the medicine, and it is usually out of stock in the stores.

I know eggs are a great source of protein. Unfortunately, eggs are not something I can eat daily. When I am able to eat them, they tend to make me feel sick. When I can't eat them, they gross me out after a few bites, it's a texture thing. If they don't look cooked all the way, I get nauseous.

I am open to other kinds of breakfast options! I've tried protein muffins, these are good. They work for me when I find a recipe I like.
