Milo
Milo is an Aussie classic, but believe it or not as a child I wasn’t a big fan! Nowadays we have it in our cupboard, but I would still choose a hot chocolate over a hot milo, and we seem to mostly use it on ice cream. Milo chit chat aside, check out the review to see how Milo fairs nutritionally.
Read MoreUp&Go Liquid Breakfast
Up&Go Liquid Breakfast. Is it equivalent to two Weet-Bix and milk, or is it a chocolate milkshake? Today’s review will find out!
Read MoreGokids Chocolate Oat Milk
Today’s Chewsday review features an alternative milk product, GoKids Chocolate Oat Milk. There’s a super-oat designed to catch the attention of your kiddo, but is the product as super as suggested? Let’s find out…
Read MoreYoplait Yop Mini Go Kids Yoghurt Drink – Banana & Honey
This week’s Chewsday review features another yoghurt product marketed specially for kids. Yoplait’s new Yop Smoothies claim to contain real fruit and nothing artificial, but just how much banana goes into one of these smoothies (hint: it’s probably less than you think!). Read on to find out…
Read MoreUp&Go Dairy Free
Up&Go Liquid Breakfast has been an Australian staple of canteens and pantries for years. Touted as the equivalent of two Weet-bix and milk, the new dairy-free version appears to be all that – minus the milk? But is it a healthy breakfast option or just a marketing gimmick? Read on to find out.
Read MoreAquabud Hydration Cans
This week’s Chewsday review is a new product on the market… Aquabud hydration cans. They’re claiming to keep busy, non-stop kids hydrated by using added electrolytes, but do your kids really need them?
Read MoreInside Out Milkish Oat
Hold up – there’s a brand-new milk alternative on the market! Surely that aisle of the supermarket is full by now? Inside Out’s ‘Milkish’ Oat claims to be the perfect all-in-one dairy alternative – but how does it stack up in the nutrition department?
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 MoreV8 Vegetable Juice
Some of our fussy eating clients eat zero vegetables, but will sometimes drink a vegetable juice. So, I’ve had lots of requests to review the most popular V8 juice. Is it an ok option for those really resistant eaters who just don’t tolerate veggies at all? Today’s Chewsday Review will tell all…
Read MoreImpressed Juice
Today’s request comes from a Mum of one of my picky eating clients. This little boy finds veggies REALLY challenging, but he will happily accept this green juice. His Mum would like to know if he’s getting any goodness from it. Let’s see!
Read MoreOnly Organic Coconut, Banana & Acai Smoothie
Today’s parent request for a Chewsday Review was for a product I hadn’t actually seen before 😱 It’s a coconut, banana and acai smoothie, by Only Organic. It’s got all of the superfood buzzwords, but is it any good? Let’s see…
Read MoreDevondale Moo Choc Milk
Today’s Chewsday Review is another dairy product, but it’s a little bit different. This flavoured milk comes in a tetrapack and is heat treated, meaning it can be kept in the cupboard, packed in suitcases when travelling or pulled out in emergencies! But is it a nutritious option?
Read MoreOrange ‘C’
Today’s Chewsday Review features a product that’s been around for a while. In fact, I remember kids having it in their lunch order back when I was in primary school, and I graduated from there 20 years ago! Presenting Orange ‘C’…
