Bagel crisps with a classic like Vegemite, what’s more to love? (At least it’s not in chocolate this time, right?)

Read MoreLCMs Split Stix Yoghurty bars
Today’s Chewsday Review features the LCMs Split Stix Yoghurty bars. When something is described as ‘yoghurty’ I’ve got my rubbish radar beeping insistently!! Remember that I’m not against any food- but I just don’t want people being duped into buying food thinking it’s more nutritious than it really is.
Read MoreMilo Original Snack Bar

Read MoreCarman’s Original Muesli Bars
Today’s food product is Carman’s original fruit and nut muesli bars. These contain almonds and pecans so aren’t appropriate for some schools. But is it a quick, nutritious snack or just junk?
Read MoreBirds Eye Fish Fingers
So last week’s fish fingers are no longer available. But maybe these Birds Eye Fish Fingers are okay? They’re not fish shaped but let’s see how they go in today’s Chewsday Review…
Read MoreRafferty’s Garden No Added Sugar Yoghurt

Read MoreMundella Greek Natural Yoghurt
To finish off yoghurt month I’m reviewing the tub of yoghurt currently in my fridge. I’m probably not going to review too many more yoghurts for a while (there’s so many other reviews waiting patiently) so if you don’t buy this one yourself- just compare the ingredients and the nutrition panel to the recommendations at the bottom of the article. If you’re close-ish then keep buying it!

Read MoreInfuzions Veggie Straws

Read MoreCob’s Popcorn Sea Salt
This food has been requested for a Chewsday Review about eleventy million times. And quite rightly- who doesn’t love popcorn? This is my favourite brand from a taste point of view, but let’s see how it stacks up nutritionally.
Read MoreAjitas Vege Chips
Another week, another veggie chip. Interestingly, these chips masquerading as vegetables seem to be pretty dodgy… Let’s see how the original vegetable chip compares. Today’s Chewsday Review features Ajitas Vege Chips in natural flavour.
Read MoreDairylea Cheese Stik
This is a cheese stick, but unlike the Bega Cheese Stringers I’ve reviewed before, it’s considered a processed cheese snack (which is different to just cheese). This might be quite confusing to most people, so that’s why it features in todays Chewsday Review… It also seems to come in a Fridgestick or a Cheese Pod depending on which state you live in. They’re also all slightly different in the nutrition panel. Anyway, this review relates specifically to the Cheese Stik.
Read MoreGolden Circle Strawberry Squeeze
There are so many squeezie packs on the market now, and it’s not just yoghurt. Today’s review features Golden Circle Strawberry Squeeze. This is in the regular tinned fruit aisle (not the baby/child aisle). Let’s see how it fares…
