Sometimes on a March morning in a never-ending winter, one needs a bright and light green smoothie bowl to remember to have hope for sunnier and warmer days.

Sometimes, someone -- cough cough -- needs an extra dose of greens and vitamin C to help push her over the line from a lingering cold to finally healthy.

And then, conveniently, said sick person sees that it’s Saint Patrick’s day and decides to share it as an idea for the perfect Saint Patrick’s Day breakfast or snack!

This kale green smoothie recipe is all that and more. A smoothie that checks off all the boxes. It is full of ...

• Gut-healthy probiotics
• Antioxidants
• Fiber
• Vitamin C
• Potassium
• and flavor!

While also being dairy-free and gluten-free! Does it get any better than that?

Bright flavors from the mango, greens, lime juice are kicked up a notch from the gut-healthy kombucha that pulls the whole smoothie together. Add a little coconut and banana to round out the drink with some sweetness and it’s perfect to take on the go or to linger and enjoy it topped with all your favorite toppings.

Are green smoothies good for you?

Yes! As long as they are full of unprocessed fruits, veggies, nuts, and other natural ingredients they should be healthy for you. This green smoothie recipe definitely fits that profile with the mango, coconut, and kale in it!

Look out, though, for any recipes that have frozen yogurt, sherbet, frozen sweetened fruit, or other processed sugars added to them. That's when they start to contain more "empty" calories.

Is a smoothie enough for breakfast?

It depends on your breakfast appetite but these generally are enough for me (and I tend to have a hearty appetite!). If you're concerned about how filling it will be, make a smoothie bowl with it and top with granola, nuts, dried fruit, bananas, or whatever other toppings you like!

How do you make a sweet smoothie without sugar?

Thankfully, there are a lot of neat ways to do this. Great natural smoothie sweeteners are dates, bananas, honey, frozen fruit, and agave syrup. If a recipe gives a range of sweeteners to add-- say, 2-4 dates, for an example -- start by just blending the 2 dates in and only add in the rest in if it still needs it after taste testing.

Are smoothies good for weight loss?

Though anything can fit into a diet for weight loss in moderation, smoothies do tend to be a good pick for it if they are only sweetened with natural sweeteners and are full of unprocessed fruits and vegetables. The fruits and vegetables will bring fiber and water that will keep you full longer while also providing you with important nutrients your body needs.

Smoothie Cooking Notes

• Don’t like kombucha? You can sub in 2 cups coconut water instead, but I highly recommend you try it out with it as it adds a zippy lightness without the forward kombucha flavor. 
• I recommend an original or ginger flavored  Kombucha to work with the tropical flavors in this smoothie but feel free to experiment with other flavors. I used Brew Dr’s “Clear Mind” flavor.
• To keep this vegan, use dates instead of the honey!
• In general, the more frozen fruit and ingredients you use in this smoothie, the more frozen and frosty it will taste. If you have fresh fruit, awesome, but otherwise this is a place where good quality frozen fruit shines!
• Serve this in a cup or bowl. It’s a thin enough smoothie enough to do either!
