Read MoreThe Happy Snack Company Roasted Chickpeas

Read MoreMasterFoods Tomato Sauce With Hidden Veg
If your child regularly likes to drown their food in tomato sauce, check out today’s Chewsday Review for all of the saucy details. I wonder if this is the “healthy tomato sauce” that they give to Bluey and Bingo 🙄
Read MoreWoolworths Soft Wholegrain Wraps
All of these years of Chewsday Reviews and I’ve never reviewed a wrap?! Well… You’ll be rapt to know that I’ve wrapped up that chapter in wrap-less history. Check out this week’s review to see if Woolworths Soft Wholegrain Wraps get a good rap.

Read MorePaul’s Bluey Chocolate Custard
Everybody loves Bluey. Me included! But I’m getting a bit sick of seeing characters plastered all over supermarket products. My toddler can spot Peppa on the toothpaste from 100m away, and The Wiggles on a yoghurt that’s about 1m above her head. At the moment Bluey is promoting the Paul’s Custard squeezie pouch. You might have seen my article in The West Australian recently about this- here’s the Chewsday Review version.
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 MoreMaggi 2 Minute Noodles
I’m doing some ‘hot topic’ Chewsday Reviews at the moment! Today’s review features Maggi 2 minute noodles. This is the wholegrain version, because that’s the one I buy. But I must confess, I’ve never actually looked at the nutrition info!
Read MoreBelvita Breakfast Biscuits
Today’s Chewsday Review features Belvita Breakfast Biscuits. This particular one is called ‘milk and cereals’ so it must be the same as a healthy breakfast right? Let’s see…
Read MoreChia Pod Smooth Mixed Berry
Another week, another food in a pouch! I’ve had a few requests for these, so they must be popular! Today’s Chewsday Review features the Mixed Berry Chia Pod.
Read MoreChobani Gimmies yoghurt
Another week, another new yoghurt targeted specifically at kids. This time Chobani have released a yoghurt in a tub with ’sprinkles’.

Read MoreAnnabel Karmel Mild Butter Chicken and Rice
Annabel Karmel’s line of frozen meals for toddlers is directed at children aged 1-4 years, and claims to provide balanced alternatives for those days when cooking comes last (we all have them!) So, although I reviewed the Bolognese pasta bake a while back, many of you have asked for specific reviews. Today features Mild Butter Chicken & Rice.
Read MoreYoPro Dairy Free Yoghurt
As this seems to be a hot topic at the moment, I have one more yoghurt review for you. Then I promise to mix it up again! We’ve compared the So Delicious Almond, and Alpro soy yoghurts, so let’s take a look at another popular plant-based alternative: YoPro’s Dairy Free Yoghurt. The brand’s dairy line is very popular, and for good reason. But does their dairy free option stack up?
