Most US meal replacement shake companies also sell their product in a powder form to mix with milk or water. For example, you can get Carnation Breakfast Essentials for 50 cents/pack. They aren't particularly calorie dense, but 4/day would give you 100% of many vitamins and minerals. I would recommend eating smaller portions of the local food for breakfast and lunch (because you don't want to be rude or appear elitist) plus your healthier dinner and supplement with 2 of these per day. One of my friends is obsessed with making oatmeal and mixing these in so if they have any similar sticky carb gruel you could probably spice it up with this.
If you're looking for something that is a total calorie replacement instead of just vitamins and minerals, then I would go more with a Scandishake product, but these are much more expensive at $2/packet (they're a medical food). The per calorie cost is actually almost equal though. This is what we feed to cancer patients and CF kids in the hospital because of the intense calorie load. They do not contain many vitamins/minerals though so you might want to do 2 of these plus a multivitamin and then you wouldn't need to eat the local breakfast/dinner. I should add that these things are fucking delicious. We make milkshakes for the kids from extra whole milk and one of these packets and it's like 900 kcal in a glass.
