For a more filling smoothie, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or any other healthful oil. You may also substitute the coconut milk for 1¼ cups Greek yogurt if you prefer a dairy-based smoothie. If so, add a little water for a more liquid consistency.

Those are for 1 cup serving, Silk brand.
I'm from Turkey. And I want to ask can I use Turkish homemade yogurt ? Because generally we make our yogurts at home.
If you can make your yogurt with full fat cream, it would be a good option.
For peanut butter make sure there is no added sugar. It should only be peanuts (and salt).

Yes, you can use almond milk. You can also use any berry you prefer. Most other fruit will be too high carb. You can use the recipe search tools to filter for dairy free recipes.
There are substitutions for these ingredients, or you can find different recipes. Coconut milk is a good substitute for almond milk.
Different locations and brands may call the same product by different names. If the coconut milk is low fat, try coconut cream instead.
I wish there was more consistency in the amounts

400g can in Germany at 90% milk, 10% water is roughly 90g of fat.
The one we use has 42 grams of fat, 4 grams protein, and 6 grams of carbs for the entire amount of coconut milk.
Yes, 2/3 cup of canned unsweetened coconut milk, plus blueberries, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Please note that this is a breakfast recipe.
