Protein shakes as meal replacement ? [View all]

Has anyone tried protein powder to make home made shakes as a meal replacement?
(I know you can buy some brand name shakes already bottled)

I read an article about Matthew McConaughey losing weight for a movie role by use of a liquid diet,
and thought I might try making some shakes as replacement for one or two daily meals.
