Don't use protein powder to gain weight, just eat real food but in bigger portions. Make extra rice, oatmeal, pasta; it's all very cheap. Keep eating meat, veggies and whatever else. Some protein powder has no calories, some has tons of calories. That's what you need to gain weight, more calories than you burn. A protein shake is a great supplement but you can't rely on them to gain weight. Eat good food with nutrients and vitamins etc. Just a lot more of it.

Oh yea I mean I’m eating more food but my job makes it difficult to have 3 meals a day especially healthy ones so I figured a smoothie every morning packed with as much healthy things would be a good start

Well again, supplment it. Make it the start of your day but don't make it all you eat. Look for protein powder mass gain etc something with higher calories. Add some peanut butter and fruit to the blender.
