Rosemary Smoothie
Perk up your morning
Posted January 18th, 2012 by noelle | View Comments
This past weekend, I spent a few days embracing the warmth of the Caribbean. A warm sunny weekend this time of year always helps me cope with the long and cold New York winters. After a long day of travel on Monday, I woke up the next morning craving a refreshing and rejuvenating drink. This Rosemary Smoothie seemed to do the trick. Rosemary, surprisingly, is a tonic that is wonderfully awakening.

Fresh rosemary is also great for increasing circulation (which helps boost your energy) and improves concentration.
