Chef Tom at Eastern CT State College holding his flu fighter recipe.

I recently attended an event at Easter College of CT where their chefs work to incorporate more seaweed into the menu making it accessible to the students on campus there. One of the smoothie recipes developed is especially timely given this nasty flu season so I wanted to share it. Stay healthy!
