As mums, we’re always on the lookout for lunchbox, afterschool or anytime snacks that our kids will love.  However we also like to feel that we’re being responsible in our choices.

Which is why we know you’ll be excited to discover that MILO Oatie bars have just hit supermarket shelves!

Each MILO Oatie Bar is made with the goodness of MILO and wholegrain rolled oats.   It’s a delicious lunchbox snack with 25% of your daily wholegrain target*

Where are MILO Oatie Bars available?

MILO Oatie Bars are available nationally at Woolworths, Coles and at select  IGA, Ritchies and Foodworks supermarkets.

How much?

The recommended retail price is $4.59**

*Based on 48g of wholegrain per day, as recommended by Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council Ltd, 25% per bar.

**This is a recommended retail price only and retailers are free to set their own prices.

In the MILO Oatie Bar Product Review, mums will receive 2 boxes of MILO Oatie Bars for themselves and their families to enjoy.  We’re asking them to put MILO Oatie Bars to the ‘Real Mum, Real Life’ test and post their review and ratings.

  • yummy

    I packed these into my kids lunchboxes for a surprise, they came home raving about them, how good they tasted, how they didn't feel hungry after eating them, so they satisfied their hunger, good sized bar, and they asked for them again, at least i know it is better for them than some other bars.

  • Perfect snack!

    I absolutely love this as a lunchbox snack! It's not as healthy as I would like, but it makes a great treat every now and again. I personally like to indulge in one or two every once in a while! I would definitely recommend these as a tasty lunchbox filler.

  • Loved by everyone!

    My family absolutely loved the Milo Oatie bars, we were very impressed with a healthier version to what is currently on the market, and a chocolate hit is great mid afternoon!

  • Yummy yummy yummy

    My family loved them, the 11yr old took them to school and she said they a so yummy and she is hard to find what she will eat, the only concern is in hot weather they might melt in the lunch box.

    The 1 1/2 yrs old enjoyed them and even cryed when he ate it all.

    My husband 34yr old and myself are on a diet and thought the bars were great for a yummy snack and had not much fat. We will be buying more and letting people how nice these are.

  • Absolutely loved the product and the taste

    All of my family ranging from 2 to 40 loved this product. My kids loved the flavour and only my 12 year old noticed that there were oats in it. They have requested these for their lunchboxes for school. Will definitely buy this product. They loved the chocolate flavour and texture of the bars

    Both boys tried them after school and they loved them. They asked I pack the bars for them for school and asked I pack some for their friends. They want to share and show off their bars.

  • Did not enjoy!

    I found the quality of the MILO Oatie Bar was just not there when compared to it's other great product such as milo.

    As a family, we really didn't enjoy the MILO Oatie Bar and think that it does not represent good value for money.

    The MILO Oatie Bar is not very pleasant tasting, and I did not finish eating my bar as I did not like it.

    I would not purchase this product again.

  • Disappointing!

    MILO Oatie Bar just does not do it for me and family. Not sure what I'm going to with the box I bought because no one in the family wants to eat them. Milo in general is such a tasty, delicious product, I'm surprised they couldn't come up with a better tasting product. Very disappointed in the MILO Oatie Bar.

  • Milo

    I read the reviews of Milo Oatie Bars by Mom’s community members and I decided to buy them and get the family to taste test them. We tried them this morning and the verdict is: we like them! They do have a strong flavour compared to other similar bars; however it is a nice flavour. Would buy them again; still happy with Milo products!

  • Milo

    I read the reviews of Milo Oatie Bars by Mom’s community members and I decided to buy them and get the family to taste test them. They were easy to locate at the local shops and were also on special. I do love Milo products and hope these bars pass the taste test; as some of the reviews give the bars a poor review/rating.

  • Not very nice.

    I recently bought the MILO Oatie Bar with high expectations, I mean, how good is Milo? I was sadly disappointed. These bars were awful. Not even my kids, who usually buy into this sort of stuff were impressed. I won't be buying MILO Oatie Bar again, unless they change their recipe. Not very nice.

  • Great snack for anyone, not just the kids!!

    I tried the milo oatie bars and now I'm hooked. They are a great snack to put in kids lunches, or to have after school, they taste great and even though they are a bit of a treat you are still getting the goodness of the wholegrains and Oates. They are also great snacks for adults on the go and anyone who loves milo will loves these.

  • Pretty disappointing.

    We usually love milo products here! Milo duo cereal, hot milos, the many teaspoons of milo mixed with milk,the milo yogurt and even the milo bars but these were just awful! Sickly sweet, tasted nothing like milo. Was sadly disappointed and will not be buying again! I took one bite and threw the rest of the bar out and my son spat out the bite he took. Pretty disappointing really but none the less I still love my other milo products. :)

  • Milo, family favourite with a lot to live up to

    Milo is a favourite in our family and we go through a huge amount, so I thought that these would be a favourite as well, but they were not well received in our home, the taste seemed bland, not the quality we have come to expect from Milo, and the kids hated them perhaps they have tried to make them healthy and my kids want something with choc chips LOL, I would not recommend them and certainly would not purchase them again as they were not popular at all, shame really because it is an iconic brand that has always been loved in our home.

  • not milo

    I bought these when first came out as we are huge huge huge Milo fans, we go threw a large tin every week and a 12 pack of Milo custards. I tried one as soon as I got in the door and it was not as expected, thought it would taste like a mile flavoured lcm kinda but it is dry, doesn't taste like Milo at all, just like dry sweet chocolate. 2 of my children liked them other 2 didn't, so don't know if it comes down to different tastebuds or just they weren't as fussy but they weren't nice and was dissapointed. I def won't buy them again. But that won't stop me buying proper Milo :) yum yum yum

  • get them on special

    i agree that these milo bars do not actually taste like milo but rather just very sweet. i think that my kids don't mind these bars because they don't get them a whole lot, only when they are on special and that doesn't seem to be a lot. i think they are handy to have and think that you should eat these in moderation. they are made healthily and then have more sugar added. still worth a try and make your own opinion of these bars

  • Milo Let down

    The MILO Oatie Bars sound delicious but they are not. They do not taste like chocolatey Milo and instead are dry, overly sweet and not what I was expecting from a Milo branded product. The kids didn't like them and wouldn't finish the bars leaving me to try them. I wasn't very happy having spent so much on a product that is not up to the Milo brand quality. Not healthy as full of sugar. Wouldn't buy these again and don't recommend.

  • Morning Tea Time Saver

    As i said below these bars are a great way to save time adding things to the kids bags for morning tea at school and preschool. I love that they have wholegrain and that they're not overly sweet for the kids. I recently found a dairy selling these at a lower price than the market and think now i am buying at the right price, so i wouldn't necessarily pay the rrp. Kids do love em and i love how handy they are in the cupboard as a quickie. Or when kids friends come over, i can cut some on a plate and put out alongside fruit.

  • Pleased I did not pay for them

    We were given a box off these to try, I have 3 kids and 1 bigger kid (husband)

    Not one of them liked these, said they tasted nothing like milo. The kids said they just tasted like sugar and not much else. Even though they have the oats in them I do not think the oats outweigh the amount of sugar in these. The kids are normally milo fans but said please don’t get them again

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

I can’t wait to start enjoying this portal, and many thanks to the person who brings us such fabulous opportunities to earn some money.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
