How many servings does this make? Do you know the nutritional breakdown?

I cut it into 16 servings.

Funny, I was just wondering today what the nutritional breakdown was.
I'll do some math and get back to you.

Okay, I did some VERY rough calculations at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
This, of course, depends on what kind of fruit you use, what kind of
milk you use, and what brand of everything else you use, but assuming
you cut it into 16 pieces:

300 calories per serving
54g carbs - not sure how much is sugars, but the breakdown is 19g from
the oats, 24g from the fruit (including apple sauce), 1.5g from the
brown sugar, and 9g from the milk.
10g protein
4g fat
4g fiber
183mg sodium

Something else I forgot to mention - I usually put these in the freezer
and nuke them for 1 minute when I'm ready to eat them.
