Here are some of my favorite ingredients aside from milk and protein powder:

frozen/fresh berries esp raspberries and blueberries
ground almonds(makes it thicker and gives a bit of essential fats)
ground linseed(flax)
fruit yogurt
passionfruit
a hit of coffee(made to a paste with hot water)
cocoa(or diet hot chocolate powder)
crushed pineapple(with vanilla pp and no milk,just yogurt)
