Another (similar) smoothie recipe

OK, get your Magic Bullet out again, here goes another recipe for a post workout/bedtime smoothie:

Into the Magic Bullet toss the following items: 

1 medium ripe banana (potassium)
1/4-1/3 cup seedless raising (fiber)
1-2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I use off the shelf GNC brand, but any brand will do)
15-30 grams of unsweetened shredded wheat (I also like shredded wheat and bran) (fiber)
1 cup (or so) of skim milk (Vitamin D, protein, calcium)
Handful or so of Ice (H2O = hydration)
0.5-1 Tablespoon of natural (local preferred) honey

Blend thoroughly and enjoy! Note: about half the raisins will not be chopped up and sink to the bottom, so you might want to use a spoon to get some full raisins into your mouth without choking)
