This is one of my favourite cold-weather detox smoothies. I know, it may seem a little odd to add rosemary to a green smoothie, but trust me, it’s awesome. All the ingredients in this smoothie combine to make a tonic that is supportive to circulation, the immune system and digestion.

Here are some more health benefits of the Apple Rosemary Smoothie:

• Rosemary is nourishing to the nervous system and is a circulatory stimulant, which helps to move blood, fluids and energy throughout the body.
• As an antibacterial herb, rosemary is immune boosting and perfect for colder weather.
• Rosemary is also a digestive aid, as it helps to break down fats and oils (this is why it’s usually used as a marinade for meats).
• Avocado is potassium-rich and kidney supportive. Your kidneys are like your body’s storage depot for vital energy and are most active during the winter season.
• Apples contain both soluble and insoluble fibre, which are very cleansing to the digestive tract.
