I love raisins and I love fruit drinks. I've never thought about adding raisins to a fruit drink. The raisins added a great flavor. This was quick & easy to make & healthy to drink. I added a little protein powder and called it lunch today. Made & reviews for PAC, fall 2008

Actually I couldn't wait to try this one as the raisin's caught my attention. I love smoothies/shakes and this one was so different in the use of raisins. I could definitely taste them too. Great idea Saturn~! A great pick-me-up after a morning jog;-)

I was unsure about this because of the raisins, but I was pleasantly surprised. this was an awesome day to start the day. I will make this again and again.

Fantastic!!! I love this shake TO DEATH! This is a PAC 07 choice. Whipped it up yesterday morning. I would never think to add raisins to a shake but it worked great. I used fresh strawberries. Thanks Saturn.

Very nice fresh fruit combination for a tasty juice. I typically don't care for raisins, but I think the flavor blended well with the other ingredients. My son liked the flavor, but not the texture. Despite heavy blending, there were still flecks of strawberry and banana in the juice. He added ice to his portion, and blended that until it resembled a smoothie, and preferred it that way. Either way - it tastes good. Thanks for sharing.
