i wouldn't, but i dislike replacing meals with supplements.

If you are going to though, I'd add in some ground oats and possibly some olive oil or fish oil caps.

Supplements are definitely easier than real food, but easier is almost never better. If you're working your ass off in the gym, don't short change yourself and slack on the food prep and diet.

A great strategy I use when I'm working is to prepare and weigh out all my food on Sunday and then throw it in the freezer and take it as necessary during the week. This also allows me to buy in bulk, which saves money.

protein shakes are not meant to be used as meal replacements.. they are only meant to add additional calories to your diet.. nothing should replace real food IMO

That's really good advice bro
