  • Fussy eater will love it

    My bub is one fussy eater and I was surprised that she LOVED Novalac Fruits Toddler Milk. I also had a taste and it is like a banana smoothie but not that sweet which is good for bub (No sugar rush energised bub here). She loves having it either as a morning or afternoon tea time drink. I highly recommend this to other moms. I will definitely buy after we have finished our current stash.

  • Delicious and easy for my fussy toddler

    My toddler can be quite a handful and quite fussy especially when it comes to milk things. He absolutely loves apples and milk so to be able to combine the two in one go for him is amazing. He tried it and thought it was delicious and tasted just like an apple and wanted more when he finished. Will definitely recommend for the fussy eaters who love milk. Will most definitely be buying this again for my little munchkin.

  • Yum!

    My son absolutely loved Novalac Fruits. He loved the flavour and I liked that it was something different to regular toddler milk. I really like that it doesn’t contain any artificial colours or flavours, this is really important to me when I buy my son foods. I’m absolutely going to purchase this again once we’ve run out and have been recommending it to every mum I know! I’m so glad I got to trial this because I may never have tried it otherwise!

  • Approved by Fussy Toddler

    I was hesitant at first with the Novalac Fruits Toddler Milk thinking it might taste too artificial for bub. I was also concerned that it might be too sweet for her. I tried it before giving to bub and it tastes like banana smoothie but not sweet. Gave to bub and just one sip from her cup, she LOVED it! No fussy dramas whatsoever! Definitely will be buying again. I would not have thought of buying if not for the sample you gave us. Thank you.

  • Real fruit

    Novalac Fruits Toddler Milk is so delicious and nutritious. I tried it and it had the real taste of banana. My daughter didn’t like having plain milk before bed so we used to give her yoghurt. However as soon as we started giving her this milk, she loves it.

    My super fussy toddler took one sip of this toddler milk and then drank the entire bottle, it’s simple and fast to prepare and it has extra flavour compared to regular toddler milk. We’ve had to purchase this for a few different households as he requests it everywhere we go, 5 stars!

  • A hit

    I purchased this for my toddler’s to ensure they have enough nutrients and vitamins, and they loved it. My son couldn’t stop saying “mmmm”, I guess they thought it was a dessert! Definitely well enjoyed! I dont think i would buy this again as my toddler’s are really good eaters and get enough in their diet alone, but would absolutely recommend it to parents with fussy toddler’s or parents who are concerned about their toddlers diet.

  • Great tasting my toddler loved it

    My toddler loved it and he is generally a fussy child who eats like a rabbit .
    And It smells really nice.
    My only neg is it had to be shaken well to mix properly but other than that its great
    I would use it again for the extra nutritional value when we have the extra fussy days of eating little.

  • My toddler loves this, no turning back now!!

    Decided to try this new flavour at afternoon nap time. At first my toddler gave me a look of betrayal that his normal bottle didn’t taste the same, but after a few more sips he was into it, polishing off the whole bottle and asking for more, not sure he will go back to plain milk now though!!

  • Happy toddler

    Happy toddler who couldn’t wait for his nighttime bottle, no complaints here, though he can’t articulate his critique I imagine his consumption was proof enough. Always assuring to know that these products are reputable in their claims and that there’s no harm in his having toddler milk. This is the first toddler milk I am aware of that has a flavour / added taste.

  • Love the goodness!

    My little one loves the goodness and flavour of this Novalac Fruits Toddler Milk! I wish he liked it enough to switch from cows milk, but I think it may be just too sweet for him. He seems to enjoy it as a treat, but doesn’t drink much of it. We will keep going as he does like it and I love the fact it has so much goodness in it!!

How to choose the best lunch box for school

When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.

  • Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
  • Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
  • Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
  • Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
  • Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
  • The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
  • Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
  • Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
  • Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.

  • Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.

  • Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.

  • I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.

  • So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.

  • There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.

  • There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain

  • This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.

  • Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.

  • Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.

    Reply

  • These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.

  • I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.

  • My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.

  • Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

  • I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
