  • Tastes like nutella

    Having a nut free option is so important for a family. And also always handy for when friends or relatives visit and have nut allergies. This spread tastes just like Nutella and the kids love it. It is still a treat in our house but I feeling better serving this to them than Nutella
    I try to always have some on a hand. Or atleast buy regularly as it is handy to have nut free options.

  • A big hit for the young and old!

    We’re fortunate that my family don’t have any allergies, however after my niece was diagnosed with a nut allergy (epi-pen style) we wanted to source a safe spread for when she visits, and after tasting the PeaNOT spreads (both smooth & crunchy), I decided to give the HazelNOT a go. I’ve never allowed Nutella in this house, however my kids can now have a choc “hazel(not)nut” spread that I’m happy to give them. Far less sugar, way more protein, I would 100% recommend this to anyone – nut free requirements or not. Even I now enjoy a choc (not)nut spread. Delicious!

  • Surprisingly a great taste

    The HazelNOT spread is my personal favourite. I was very happy to give my kids this in their lunchbox as I know it wouldn’t be a problem with allergies at school. So happy we found something else to go sandwiches that my kids eat. I also used it in cooking to make protein ball, amazing taste. My whole family gave it the tick of approval. It’s a slightly “naughtier” option but the quality and nutritional factors of this spread are healthy compared to its competitor, Nutella. Delicious and healthy!

  • Two thumbs up from my kids

    I may be slightly bias with my kids review because I honestly don’t buy Nutella – too much sugar. My kids are always whinging for chocolate spreads and I was keen to try VGood HazelNOT choc spread for the nut free element for school but also because it is low in sugar. We tried it combined with the peaNOT butter and a banana on toast. Both kids asked for seconds and loved it. Was it because they never get choc spreads? Maybe. But either way, they licked their plates clean. Given the healthy ingredients, I’m happy for them to have this in their lunch boxes and after school too. Everyone’s kicked a goal in our house with this one!

  • So delicious

    This spread was so good I ate most of it off a spoon straight out of the jar. The kids enjoyed the little amounts I shared and begged me for more. I will definitely be buying this again, maybe only occasionally so the temptation to devour the lot is not right in front of me. The kids however would be happy for us to have it in the cupboard all the time.

  • Always up for an improved Nutella

    We first tried Vgood HazelNOT choc spread for the same reason we tried the peaNOT butter spread – to keep my son’s classmate safe. We weren’t sure whether he is allergic to just peanuts or nuts so better to err on the side of caution. Its just as tasty as Nutella and I love that there isn’t palm oil, the sugar content is lower and, of course, no nuts. The test will be whether it works as an equivalent substitute in my cheat mug cake recipes!

    I am not actually reviewing this product as I have have not tried it as I have not noticed it when shopping nor heard about it elsewhere. Thanks for bringing this product to my attention as I know numerous children this would be applicable to and great for. I will look for it on my next shop, thanks again.

    This was actually nice tried it in an effort to be more healthy and actually swapped it for nutella for my kids and they hardly noticed and I felt healthy eating it. I WILL buy it again and also use it in my Nutella cake mix to see how it goes. I thought vegan food was tatsteless but this us far from that.

  • Worth A Try

    My daughter is HUGE nutella fan but because my son has a nut allergy it’s not very often its in the house so we were eager to try this. Texture was great but the taste just wasn’t quite right.
    I’ve given this a good review as I thinks its a great alternative to nut spreads but sadly it’s not something that we would buy again. I highly recommend trying it as everyone’s tastebuds are different.

    The HazelNOT spread is my personal favourite. I was very happy to give my kids this in their lunchbox as I know it wouldnt be a problem with the teachers.

    We tried these delicious goodies kindly sent by for trial.
    These chickpea based spreads are so tasty and even my kid’s loved it. Its good for their lunch boxes and something Mummy approves as its has iron, fibre and protein. The chocolate spread is my all favorite in my brekky sandwich.
    The best thing is its gluten free and Nut free. Definitely a healthier choice for my family. Do give it a try and you will love it.

  • VGood Hazeldefinitely Choc

    Love it so much that I have to have it in every meal. It provides a taste sensation that feels like I’m having a party in my mouth. In fact I dream about it overnight and crave it as soon as I wake in the morning. The person who invented this deserves a Nobel Peace prize as I use it as a reward whenever there is a dispute at home. No one wants to misbehave and jeopardise the opportunity to get it.

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.
