Kids’ lunchbox snacks can be a daily battle, but these three make life a whole lot easier. They’re tasty, fuss-friendly and they each have the tick of approval from Aussie mums.
When you’re choosing snacks for kids, it’s not just about what they’ll eat (though that’s obviously a huge deal), it’s also about convenience, nutrition and how well it travels. A great lunchbox snack needs to be robust enough to survive until recess or lunch, but still nourishing so that little bodies are getting the goodness they need.
At the same time, we know parents don’t want to spend forever hunting down niche “healthy” snacks. That’s why these three from our Mouths of Mums reviews are such winners. (You might even find yourself snacking on them!)
Babybel Mini Rolls
They’re everyone’s favourite Babybel cheese, reinvented in fun spirals and packaged up in their favourite Disney/Pixar characters.
Our Babybel Mini Rolls review team loves that they’re a simple, calcium-rich snack with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and they’re vegetarian-friendly.
They appeal to all ages and deliver a great familiar taste and loads of sensory fun.
What mums are saying:
Where to buy: Find Babybel Mini Rolls in Coles and other supermarkets nationwide.
Healtheries Potato Stix
These stick-shaped snacks look a bit like fries, but don’t be fooled – they are baked, not fried, which means they contain about 50% less fat than the typical chips popped into lunchboxes.
They come in natural-flavoured varieties (such as chicken or roast potato), and each single-serve pack has its own little tray – perfect for mess-free snacking, especially when on the go.
The Healtheries Potato Stix review team adore how crunchy these are, and appreciate the healthier twist on a classic salty snack.
What mums are saying:
"The Healtheries Potato stix were great. My son loved them and it’s good to know that they are healthily baked and not fried. So crunchy, they curb the appetite for more unhealthy chips and they have a great taste. Good portion size, would definitely buy again and recommend to others."
"These are delicious! They are such an easy snack for me to give my little one on the go and the price point is brilliant. We are very happy we found these and they are now a staple on our shopping list most weeks."
"My kids loved the Healtheries Potato Stix and enjoyed it everywhere we went on the go as an in between meals snack. They are great size for sharing and even stacking for play, delicious, crispy and flavoursome, the chicken flavour was a hit! Loved that my kids were eating healthy and delicious treats without the sugar overload guilt."
Where to buy: You can find Healtheries Potato Stix in the health food aisles of Woolworths, Coles and larger independent stores.
The Laughing Cow Cheese Triangles
These individually wrapped wedges are creamy, mildly flavoured and super versatile.
According to The Laughing Cow review team, they’re a hit across the board, with kids (and big kids!) scooping them on crackers, spreading them on toast, or just peeling and eating straight from the foil.
They’re a great source of calcium, and because each triangle comes in its own foil, they’re mess-free and perfect for tossing into lunchboxes or snack bags.
What mums are saying:
"A delicious creamy cheese perfect as a snack or used as a spread. Kids loved them in their lunch boxes. We also enjoyed them on crackers and made little sandwich sushi with ham, cucumber and carrot."
"Perfect for school snack box, as a treat or to munch when hungry on its own or as topping on crackers or fruits. Easy to carry when travelling as individually wrapped and easy to eat on a go. Our family favourite ..."
"My kindy boy has been taking a triangle every day with crackers, carrots, pasta and loving it! They are so creamy, delicious, mildly flavoured yet so nutritious. It’s a win for our family, very convenient to carry in snack boxes too."
Where to buy: Find The Laughing Cow at Woolworths, Coles and IGA.
