Heinz baby food jar lamb, pumpkin and sweet potato
As you walk down the baby aisle at the supermarket, you probably have more questions than you do direction. ‘Is it okay for my baby to eat this food?’, ‘Should I get baby food jars or pouches?’ Today’s Chewsday Review features a famous baby food brand – Heinz (in a jar) – lamb, pumpkin and sweet potato. Let’s take a closer look…
Read MoreDairy Dream Kids No Added Sugar Yogurt
Today’s Chewsday review features an Aldi yoghurt, because it seems lots of you shop at Aldi! When I went in to look at them, I also walked out with a range of other snack foods. Looks like I might pop in more regularly than Special Buy Wednesdays! This is the Dairy Dream Kids No Added Sugar Yogurt in Strawberry.
Read MoreBarilla Chickpea Casarecce
Each week in my memberships (Baby Mealtimes and Toddler Mealtimes) we have a ‘challenge’ food to offer our kids. It’s all about inspo and variety. Last week we had pulse pasta and lots of people had seen it but weren’t sure if it was any good. Here’s my thoughts on Barilla Chickpea Casarecce for this week’s Chewsday Review.
Read MoreAustralia’s Own Like Milk Pea Protein
You might have caught my rant last week about cow’s milk and why I get SO MAD about people telling you not to give it to your children. You can watch the rant on both Facebook and Instagram if you missed it. Anyway, as I said, we WOULD avoid cow’s milk for babies and children if they have an allergy. Yet interestingly, there’s very few nutritionally equivalent milks to cow’s milk for these kids. Most are missing the protein, the fat or the calcium content of cow’s milk. Today’s Chewsday review features Australia’s Own Like Milk, made from pea protein. Here’s what I think.
Read MoreOat-ly Oat Milk Barista Edition
My Chewsday Review of Pea Protein milk gathered a lot of interest. It’s a good one for children with cow’s milk protein intolerance and soy allergy. But lots of you were concerned with the lack of froth-ability if you had to use it in your coffee. So, today’s review features another popular milk alternative- Oat-ly Oat Milk Barista Edition (this is different to regular Oat-ly milk). How does this compare to cow’s milk and pea protein milk? Let’s see…
Read MoreNourishing Bubs veggie purees
There’s a whole range of new baby foods on the market, and my favourite bit is that they’re not in long-life squeezie pouches on the shelves! 🥳Today’s Chewsday review features a frozen puree option from Nourishing Bubs. You can buy the fruit and vegetable puree cubes at Woolworths. Today I’m reviewing the 100% pure veggies.
Read MoreBaby Macro apple, banana and blueberry bircher muesli
I’m back in the baby aisle this week, reviewing a popular sachet of Baby Bircher muesli from Woolworths Macro brand. As a bircher fan myself, I was interested to see what would be in the ‘baby’ version! I present to you today’s Chewsday Review of Baby Macro apple, banana and blueberry bircher muesli.
Read MoreSan Remo Pulse Pasta
Today’s Chewsday review features Pulse Pasta. Is it just another fad, or is it worth investing in? I’m focussing on Pulse Penne by San Remo…
Read MoreMayver’s Peanut Butter
Lots of our fussy clients will happily eat a Peanut Butter sandwich. But are all Peanut Butters equal? Today I’m looking at Mayver’s Peanut Butter. Is this a reasonable option? Let’s see…
Read MorePetit Miam Plain Yoghurt squeezie
Another week, another new yoghurt for kids. This time Petit Miam has brought out a ‘no added sugar’ plain yoghurt in a squeeze pouch. So, how does it compare to the eleventy million other kid’s yoghurts? Let’s see…
Read MoreOnly Organic Teething Rusks
Some awesome requests coming in for Chewsday Reviews. Today I’m back in the baby aisle to review Only Organic Teething Rusks. These are the particularly hard, long rusks (as opposed to the dissolvable options out there). I’ve had a few followers attempt to make homemade versions of these (often dairy or gluten free) with limited success. So, if you have a good recipe- feel free to share!
Read MoreUncle Toby’s Quick Oats
So many requests for breakfast recommendations. I always like Weet-Bix and porridge- but how do quick sachets of porridge stack up? So without further ado, I present you with today’s Chewsday Review featuring Uncle Toby’s Multigrain Apple & Cinnamon Quick Oats.
Read MoreOnly Organic Carrots, Red Lentils & Cheddar Pureé
Last week’s Chewsday Review struck a chord for many of you, and I’ve had lots of requests to look at some more of the purées. Today’s version is Only Organic carrots, red lentils & cheddar. It’s part of the Baby Savoury range, and most parents seem to be looking for savoury/vegetable options (with not much luck!)
Read MoreHeinz Spaghetti
Last week saw the humble baked beans featured on our Chewsday Review and they got top marks from me. This week I thought we’d do another pantry staple- tinned spaghetti. I’ve chosen the Heinz salt reduced variety. How does this stack up in the nutritional stakes? Let’s see…
Read MoreHeinz Beanz Salt Reduced
Great parent request for this week’s Chewsday Review asking about the salt and sugar content of quick tinned meals like baked beans and spaghetti. Today’s review is of the Salt Reduced Heinz Beanz, and I’ll save the spaghetti for another day!
Read MoreKiddylicious Banana Fruity Puffs
Another week, another food for babies to practice their self-feeding. I tell you what, food companies are getting smart with their marketing and really getting on the Baby-Led Weaning bandwagon. Today’s product is Kiddylicious Banana Fruity Puffs.
