This rich, tasty 3-ingredient peanut butter smoothie recipe comes from LaurendaMarie and calls for coconut milk. It does not matter if you use homemade or canned coconut milk as far as protein content is concerned. They both have around 5 grams of protein per cup (240 ml) measure. The amount of fat and thus calories is hugely different if you strain your homemade coconut milk, so do that if calorie count matters to you.

Livestrong says …

The kind of saturated fat in coconut milk isn’t all bad, though. Some of it is lauric acid. This substance may increase your high-density lipoprotein, says Harvard Medical School. Having a high HDL level can lessen your chances of developing heart disease. So consuming some coconut milk can be beneficial, although you should keep your serving size small since it is still high in fat and calories.
