10 ways to eat + drink rosemary

Rosemary is my favorite herb to use when cooking or baking; I just love the smell! I might need to give rosemary its own Pinterest board at this point. There are so many creative ways to use it.

Summer smoothies

I typically have a smoothie for breakfast most mornings during the summer. When I found these mason jar lids I thought it would be fun to make a few days worth and freeze them instead of revving up the blender at 6:30 am!

It was super easy and I have been enjoying them all week! These two have no dairy and lot of fruits and veggies.
