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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Love that they have a high cereal content. Delicious, who does not love milo??? Great for busy sport mornings when we leave the house at stupid o'clock. milo bar and milk keeps them going till mid morning!
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.
I am always looking to find and try new products for my kids lunch box’s and its great when new things come out cause as an excuse I get to try them and see if they are right for my family. Milo Oatie Bars actually taste like millo. They taste delicious and I definitely know that my kids love them
I love these I tried them when they first came out for the kids for school lunch. But I myself love them for a sweet hit as well. Good for you and taste great what more could you want oh and they don't cost the earth either so that's another bonus there too
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.
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!
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.
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.
usually like milo products but these were awful, I bought them for my kids and could understand why they wouldn't eat them, tried it and completely understand why
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.
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. :)
First I got a free sample from nestle and We liked it, then I bought it from coles,, it is a healthy snack on the go,, even we have it just for break fast, sweetness is less and it has good nutrition value.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
Myself and my daughter love milo and usually anything "milo flavoured" but these weren't very nice.my daughter wouldn't even eat them.i thought I'd just have them then as they were originally bought for her but I have to admit I wasn't overly impressed with them.not the worst thing but I'm not keen and wouldn't buy them again
i love milo and these bars are actually pretty yummy, i put them in lunch boxes every now and then as a nice little treat. my kids like them and they are chocolate flavoured so they are a big hit in my household.
i have bought these a few times but they aren't on special very often.

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go

Did not enjoy!
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.
