Looking for a pot of gold instead of a potbelly? Ditch the Shamrock Shake and try this homemade "Green Machine" inspired smoothie instead (not to be confused with this Green Machine or this one. Here's the recipe:

Fill up Vitamix Blender with:

• 1/3 Kale
• 1/3 Baby Spinach
• 1/3 Chard

Add 1 to 2 cups of water
1 to 2 Bananas
Basket of strawberries with stems
Blend on high speed for 45 seconds

Use some apple juice to sweeten if needed
Or add more water for easier pour
Use organic produce if possible

It tastes so good you'll never believe it's packed with ultra healthy spinach, kale and chard. When you taste this rainbow, you'll be a happier and healthier than a leprechaun! Happy drinking and have a safe St. Patrick's Day.
