Oatmeal Smoothies - Interesting

A complete meal in a glass.  The combination of oatmeal, chia seeds, yogurt, and fruit makes these well rounded nutrition. Every smoothie will differ some in nutrition according to the exact ingredients used. Here is the nutritional breakdown for one 2-cup serving of my Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie. The other 5 recipes should be in this ballpark, too.
  • 321calories, 4.2g fat, 58.5g carbs, 13.9g protein, 7g fiber
  • High in antioxidants, fiber, protein, potassium, calcium, folate, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, riboflavin, and Vitamins A, B12, B6, C, D
  • Weight Watchers PointsPlus: 6-8 points (I didn't get consistent results using the WW calculator, but this gives you a general idea. It depends on whether or not you count the fruit as "free" points or not.)
I honestly can't drink a whole 2-cup serving at one time. I've been drinking half of a smoothie for breakfast and having the other half for a mid-morning snack. It keeps me full all morning.

Here are the actual recipes:
