Based on the info provided, I'd guess 3500cal isn't enough. Which is crazy to me. But the math checks out...
At 16, 6'7" and a high activity level, his Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is around 2200 calories. This is the amount of energy his body burns just to stay alive. That's a big boy. For context, that amount of calories would put me in 10% surplus. (6'2" 200#)
To determine the amount of cal he actually burns on a daily basis, multiply by a "activity level factor" to account for his exercise. "Total Daily Energy Expenditure" (TDE)
"Very active" person (exercise daily) = BMR x 1.725 = 3,795cal to MAINTAIN current weight. Which explains why he's still dropping a bit of weight at 3500 calories. Again, wow!
"Extremely active" person (exercise 2x/day) = BMR x 1.9 = 4,180cal.
Now, if he's wanting to BULK, the typical rule of thumb is to increase caloric intake (TDEE) by 15-25%. This would put his target caloric intake somewhere between 4,000-4,500 based on his actual activity level, goal, sport/position played, etc.
Some tricks I use to up my smoothie cals, since you asked that specifically, is raw oats or a banana(if blending.) Easy way to sneak in some carbs. If simply hand shaking, use whole milk (fat) or rice milk (carb heavy).
While the myth of feed timing playing a factor has been dispelled by several studies(overall cal in a day is what's important), to consume that amount of calories in a day, he'll be eating constantly. It IS important, though, to consume some carbs pre-workout and get some protein in you pretty quickly afterwards.

Any of these should do the trick
POPULAR ORAL STEROIDS INCLUDE:
Anadrol (oxymetholone)
Oxandrin (oxandrolone)
Dianabol (methandrostenolone)
Winstrol (stanozolol)
COMMON INJECTABLE STEROIDS INCLUDE:
Depo-Testosterone (testosterone cypionate)
Deca-Durabolin (nandrolone decanoate)
Durabolin (nandrolone phenpropionate)
Equipoise (boldenone undecylenate)
Tetrahydrogestrinone (THG)
seriously though, at that age, it may be hard for him to put on much weight. I tried everything growing up, and never could put on any weight until I was about 19-20. I put on about 30lbs in 2 years and didn't really change my eating habits or workout routine.

What do y’all eat for dinner at night? I’m not a nutritionist but I’d have steak and potatoes, pork chops, chicken, burgers as much meat as possible. Lots of scrawny kids growing up would complain about eating everything in sight and not putting on weight, but they were eating corn dogs and hot Cheetos. Stick with as much natural foods as possible and I think it’ll help.

When I’m trying to preserve all I can, before bed I liked whole fat cottage cheese ( which I like). It’s a slow digesting casein protein.
The not liking peanut butter is tough... that would be the easiest calorie addition. What about almonds?
Could add dextrose to protein shakes to increase carbs and calories
Salmon
Albacore tuna

Trying to find the most calories to add to before bed drink

Get him on Ribeye and potato diet, pork ribs, bacon wrap everything he eats... Instead of that instant breakfast any cheap weight gainer shake will help if he's burning tons of cardio. Protein shakes in general aren't going to help with overall calories but if you go that route obviously in whole milk and maybe add some heavy cream. Start using gobs of oil on everything he eats, healthy oils would be better. Try not to fill all the extra calories with sugars and such though, start upping the healthy fats after ensuring the protein is taken care of. Good luck, that's all I got. I remember the days of eating 10 eggs for breakfast, that sucked.
