    Yes. Datorade is a popular one for vegans.

    Yep, as are oats, but I have nothing as the typical liquids are milk, ice cream, etc which are not vegan friendly.

    Maybe silken tofu with some water for thinning? (I've never tried it, so I have nothing to add experience-wise.) Or maybe start with a vegan protein shake as a base and add oats and peanut butter as a way to up the calories.

    Or, you could just eat the peanut butter off the spoon, which is what I do...

    Soy or almond milk for liquid options.

    Put nuts and seeds in it. A cup of smoothie can hit 500 cal easy.

    Ah, I knew I was missing something very common sense...

    ETA: Full fat coconut milk would also be a good option.

    Someone on my FL posted that she added a very ripe plantain to her smoothie instead of a banana. That sounded yummy to me.

    The smoothie had spinach, coconut oil, flax seeds, plantain and pineapple. It was a little over 450 calories.

    ETA: Of course you can add more ingredients like oats and use almond milk for the liquid. That calorie count did not include liquid calories

    Make a chocolate 'mousse' using a whole avocado and almond or soy milk as the base, a sweetener of your choice and a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder.
    you could add more bulk by throwing a banana in there too.
    blending up 10 bananas with a couple cups of water is pretty darn filling too. @ 1000 calories.

    Just for the record, vegan milk and ice cream are pretty readily available. Not sure if you're from the UK but sainsburys, asda and tesco all stock vegan ice cream and it's good!
    I'd go for peanut butter and ice cream if you want a high calorie but not particularly healthy one, or go for avocados, bananas and seeds if you want a healthier version!
