How to add oil to things?

I’ve never been a chef, so sorry if this is a stupid question, but I’ve heard adding oils (such as olive oil, canola oil, etc) into foods and drinks adds a lot of calories without affecting the taste too much. But, I tried adding some olive oil (around a tablespoon) to my protein shake, and it would not mix, looked gross, tasted awful, and ruined my protein shake! How are people adding extra oil to foods and drinks without it being so noticeably disgusting?

How to add oil to things?

Bony2Busty:
I'm new to gaining but not to cooking! If you're going to add oil to things, try using recipes that already call for oil, and just add extra. Or if you're cooking anything on a pan, use extra oil or butter. Heavy cream or melted ice cream would probably work better in protein shakes.


Thank you, I’ll try that out! I eat a lot of pasta, so I’ll try to really oil that up.
