  • Great sneaky veg

    My son is a great eater but I sometimes have an issue getting him to eat veggies. He loves baked beans with toast for breakfast on weekends so when I found the sneaky veg baked beans I figured I’d give it a shot. For a child who fusses over veggies, he has no idea that they are in his beans because he eats every last drop. He loves them! Success!

  • My kids enjoy eating all vegetables so I don’t need to hide them in their food. But In saying that this is a great way to get children that straight up refuse to eat veggies to enjoy them. My kids love spc spaghetti and baked beans and the vegetables in it are just that little added extra.

  • SPC Sneaky Veg-Spa-a-Stralia is a firm favourite

    SPC Sneaky Veg-Spag-a-Stralia has quickly become a firm favourite in our house. It has been requested and eaten and I will need to go to the grocery store to buy some more for the hungry tummies in this house. Delighted with this product and happy to have a food on hand that is healthy and enjoyed too!

  • SPC Sneaky and Nice!

    After reading reviews on Mom’s by members; I decided to buy and try SPC Sneaky Veg-Spag-a-Stralia. I easily found it at my local grocery store and was happy with the price and bought a pack to trial. Everyone in the house had a bowl and the verdict is “yummy!” Delighted with this product.

  • Fun for kids!

    The kids were all excited about trying something new. They loved the shapes, it was a real novelty. Meanwhile it took the pressure off me as I knew there was plenty of nutrition in the hidden veg. The taste was great also, well it must have been or my two year old would have thrown it on the floor! I’d definitely buy these again and recommend to my friends.

  • Hidden but not in name

    My son thought the spaghetti was delicious and like the fact that it is easier to eat than spaghetti. He did however notice the large label when it arrived and was concerned about the sneaky veg. I think they could hide this on the label better with smaller writing. After being encouraged to eat it though he was happy with the taste and texture and said he would happily eat it again.

  • Great taste better than other tin pasta

    My 2 little kids liked the taste and ate all of it. They are both very fussy eaters and won’t eat vegies. I know they are getting some vegies when they eat this pasta.

  • Love this in our house

    Our boys love “Straya-Sghetti” as they call it. Especially our youngest, if allowed he would eat Spag-A-Stralia for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. It isn’t an overpowering sauce that it comes in and the Australian icon pasta shapes make meal time fun. HOWEVER, just of recent times Spag-A-Stralia has become NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO find in our local area, making for some disappointed boys. Our local Coles, Woolies, and IGA no longer stock it? So if anyone has any luck and can actually find it to purchase, I would have no problems highly recommending the product to you and your family.

  • Hidden health

    Spc have provided a good product that enables parents to feed fussy children and know they have a healthy dinner. I’m not saying it’s good all the time but on days when you don’t have the energy to fight over Veges then it’s great to have a fall back meal the kids enjoy and have their Veges without knowing it. My niece is a fussy eater and it works with her. She loves Spc spaghetti.

  • Hidden Veges equal health

    My four year old niece plays up when it comes to eating her vegges. I find a can of Spc Sneaky veg is a sure way to have a peaceful dinner and a way to make sure she is getting the required vegetables to stay healthy. Not to say her mum won’t persist until she eats veggies but some days she hasn’t the energy to fight so this is a good product in the interim.

  • Ticked them!

    My threenager is going through a phase of not eating anything healthy that I prepare. I am so glad to have found this. He loves pasta, and he loves spaghetti, but little does he know there are also hidden vegies in there. The things you have to do in order to get your kids to eat vegetables!

  • Great for a quick meal

    My kids liked this product though probably not as much as the original spaghetti but they did like the shapes and the taste.
    I liked that a can feed this to them knowing that it’s a good source of protein and fibre, low in sugar, salt and fat free and they have no idea that it is good for them.
    I will defiantly buy these products again it a great quick meal to have in the pantry.

  • Great product boys love it

    Spc fruits are awesome. My sons gobble these down and polish off the whole thing. They’re very big fruit eaters so I go through quite a few of these each week. I know quite a few of my friends use these. I haven tried the sneak a veg but my sons weren’t huge fans but I think I’ll give them another go as they were sick when we Tried them.

  • SPC does it again!

    I’m always trying to find bigger and better ways to get my kids to eat right, without all the added sugars, sodium, colours, flavours, preservatives, etc. Somehow SPC always seems to nail it every time. The pasta pieces are fun shapes, which the little ones love, the baked beans are awesome, and there is at least 1 serve of vegies in each serving. What’s not to love!? The kids love the flavour, I love that it’s Aussie, and that it’s healthier than most gunk you find in tins. I really do recommend this product. Give it a go, you won’t regret it. 🙂

  • A good back up meal

    Before I get a huge serve of being un-Australian, I really like supporting Australian companies like SPC but their product “sneaky veg” wasn’t everything I hoped it would be. Even though it has reduced sugar and salt levels, there is still a decent serve in the can for it’s size. I liked that there was a serve of veg in each can, and I am a big fan of baked beans but I tend to prefer to make my own. However, having said that my kids liked eating this product and I think it would make a great back up meal if you’ve run out of time for dinner. I wouldn’t recommend it as a regular thing to eat in our cupboard but it’s certainly a quick and easy meal and has some good nutrients in it. We tried this simply because I ran out of time to make dinner one day and nipped down to the shops to grab some milk and whatever else I could rustle up quickly for the kids.

  • Great for the kids!!!!

    My kids always love to eat baked beans and spaghetti and with SPC being their favourite brand I was more than happy to try these! The kids loved the sneaky veg variety just as much if not more than the normal variety. And best of all of course it had the veg in it meaning it was even better health wise for the kids! Will keep these handy in the cupboard for those easy dinners or lunches.

  • In love with this incredible Aussie product

    This is a winner in our house and is much loved by the kids …. Ok and me!! It tastes really good, and the kids love grating their own portion of cheese over the top of the dish. It is also really good on a pizza base, with stringy mozzarella and some chicken – which I always have cooked and pre packaged in 100g snack size packs in my freezer – oh we also add pineapple xxx

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
