Cantaloupe, Peanut, and Raisin Shake

I've been enjoying this shake made from cantaloupe, peanuts, raisins, and almond milk for the last few days. This one is quite pleasant and easy to get down. It's sweet but not sugary, not too bitter, and has a mellow flavor. The one downside is that the raisins don't blend too well in my inexpensive standard blender, so it's a little chunky. I'm considering investing in a Vitamix or a BlendTec to see if I can make smoother shakes, but I'm not convinced that it's worth the considerable expense.

The best thing about this shake is that with only 4 ingredients it has a fantastic nutrition profile!
