    We have all enjoyed this yummy bread so very much, so much so that we take it with us on outings. We take it out when we go out walking as it is perfect for a quick and good snack for everybody in the family. Tip Top has become a firm family favourite.

  • Great for breakfast

    The kids are still enjoying having tip top wholemeal with fruit breakfast toast of a morning before school. It's good for the kids as they like to take their time getting ready for school and its a much more healthier option then cereal which is full of sugar and fats. I didn't think they would like it but they do.

  • Tip tops the one...

    Tip top wholemeal with fruit breakfast toast is a favourite in our house. There are 5 of us enjoying it at the moment with a sixth not far off joining in. The kids love it for breakfast and it's so easy to get ready for them. Even my fussy daughter likes it which is a change as she doesn't like trying too many different things.

  • We love the Fruit!

    It's good having fruit with your breakfast, it's great that it is already part of what your eating already. The toast with very yummy and the kids a happy to eat it in the morning. I find that the kids like it toasted just right, I like the toast a bit burnt, my wife likes it in the middle. This is a meal that keeps you going for longer, makes you not hungry which is the problem I was having. After breakfast still hungry but when I have this I am actually full. Really healthy option to some of the other varieties of breakfast's. It is also yummy during the winter months especially, eating nice warm toast, warms you inside too.

  • Even the fussy one loved it!

    We love fruit toast in our house, and my mother in law brought it home one morning by accident. I'm so glad she did because this fruit toast is really yummy! In our house we have a diabetic and 2 with problems processing fibre, so being able to have good tasting wholemeal fruit toast means it is on our breakfast menu more often

  • Sorry but we prefer the original raisin toast.

    Not a fan of this one ...the texture and taste was just not to our liking. It did how ever have plenty of plump fruit but the wholemeal flour we feel let this loaf down. We much prefer a fluffier texture with a light and sweet taste. We all seemed to have to put a topping on the toast which really defeated the purpose of this healthy loaf. Although I must admit I did quite enjoy the sprinkling of cinnamon I added.

  • Kids love it.

    I was not chosen to review this product by MoM, but bought it for the kids anyway. I am not a fan of the sultanas, but they loved having their toast with a bit of difference. The fruit not only is healthy for them, but it breaks up the everyday monotony of plain toast. I would not buy this for every day though - just on occasion for something different.

  • I love this stuff

    I believe this doesn't just have to be a breakfast food. My kids and I love eating it at anytime of the day. My daughter loves it with honey and my crazy son eats it with butter, Vegemite and cheese. (he's a crazy kid). I have also been known to put this fruit bread in the toastie toastie machine with mashed banana and honey inside. It is so delicious, and not doing my waist line any good.

  • Favourite in our house

    My little boys LOvE toast and are of course obsessed with all things fruit. I tried this bread lightly toasted with butter and of course my little ones like usual were at my feet wanting mummy's food.. I made them each a piece and they devoured it and asked for more. Needless to say they enjoy the tip top bread and I would recommend it to anyone else

  • Nice, but the kids reject it

    I liked this, and was hoping the kids would too, but they said they much prefer the usual version. Maybe if I only bought his for a while they'd eventually come around though. I found it nicer with some sliced banana or other fruit on top (or jam or honey but I guess that undermines it being a healthier option!)

  • Healthy but lacking

    I bought this because it a) sounded delicious and b) sounded healthy. I don't know if maybe I got a bad loaf, but it was awful tasting. I expected it to be similar to raison bread but there was none of the flavour there. It was quite bland. I did enjoy the spices that could be tasted in it.

    I would be willing to buy again and try it, to see if the first time I was unlucky.

  • I personally like it, but...

    The kids, not so much. My little ones normally love fruit toast, in all of its glorious varieties, but they utterly hated this one. The texture is totally different to anything I've ever tried before, which is fine for adults, but for kids, it's just too different from their comfort zone. I found the flavour to be very mild, which was ok, but the texture was a deal breaker for the kids. It can't even be the wholemeal flour aspect, because my kids prefer wholemeal over white bread normally. So, if you're an adult who doesn't have ASD, I'd recommend you give this a go. Don't expect it to be normal fruit toast, because it isn't. But it is rather tasty for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack. :)

  • Tip Top Wholemeal with Fruit

    I was wanting to try this after I saw it advertised for a while. I like the fact that it offers a healthy alternative to the usual raisin toast but at the same time, I kind of miss the sweetness of the original product! It is definitely a better option for kids though as they do not need any more sugar in their diets! It is more appealing than regular wholemeal bread as well.

  • Very Sustainable toast

    My whole family has changed to wholemeal for a better diet and really glad that Tip Top finally has a wholemeal range when all the others are on white bread . This bread is thick and is tasty filled with fruits and raisons. In fact I am full after one slice of this toast and is more than sufficient at breakfast time. If you have a family that needs a thick healthy fruit loaf to start off in the morning , this is it . Highly recommend it .

  • Yummy

    This is my first choice for raisin toast, it toasts perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I sometimes have a slice in the afternoon if I am feeling hungry. I like the yummy sweet taste of this bread which is just the right size, it doesnt have the orange peels or tangyness of other fruit loaves, so this is my first choice.

  • Delicious breakfast

    Since being chosen to review Tip Top Wholemeal with Fruit Breakfast Toast, I have purchase again on more than one occassion.

    It's a fast way to get a healthy and delicious breakfast served out to the kids on busy weekday mornings.

    While being a little on the expensive side, I'll often buy on sale and then freeze, so it passes that test well!

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.


While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Biozet Attack to bring you this article.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

    Reply

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

    Reply

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

    Reply

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

    Reply

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
