This is SUCH a tasty spread that tastes, to my surprise, so much like peanut butter!! My kid’s day care called and I needed to take her to hospital – I had to quickly pack all the food because of the wait times, and this was the perfect hospital safe snack that my daughter devours. I can’t recommend this product enough – for all families.

The easy go to spread for the kids lunches that you and the school will approve of!
PeaNOT Butter spread is a godsend in our house. It is a seamless substitute for the peanut butter sandwiches my kids enjoy at home but are not allowed to take to school due to a no nut policy. They enjoyed all their usual spreads with it – banana, honey and jam as well as the halzelNOT choc spread. It made school lunches an easy no brainer and I felt good giving the kids a spread that was made from healthy chickpeas. Both my kids said they noticed a difference in taste from our usual peanut butter but liked it and made no fuss over it appearing in their lunchboxes. I would definitely recommend this spread!

My family loved this spread, they couldn’t even tell it wasn’t peanut butter. Mu husband was caught eating it by the spoonful and he’s not normally a fan of chickpeas. My kids have requested this for breakfast lunch and dinner since we opened the jar. I will definitely be buying this in the future.

I was quite pleasantly surprised with the flavour and quality of this spread.
Couldn’t taste the difference and loved that it’s much healthy.
Some peanut butters are very oily but this was not the case with this spread. Love to try a crunchy version.

My family has tried the smooth PeaNOT butter over the last week and all like it.
Since announcing this term the kids could no longer have Peanut butter at their school (which my daughter was disappointed about), we tried out PeaNOT butter with her lunches, she has had it now nearly every day and is quite enjoying it.
Her favourite combination is PeaNOT butter and jam.
The stickers for their lunchbox are a bonus and have had teachers asking where they can buy the products from.
Definitely a hit in our family.

My son loves peanut butter and would eat it every meal of he could so it was difficult telling him peanut butter toast was out for breakfast. We have a classmate who is super sensitive and anaphylactic to peanuts so any trace affects him. VGood PeaNOT butter ticks both boxes and we really do not taste or notice a difference. In fact, its easier to spread so two thumbs up for the “softness”. We’ve been sharing this little nugget with our fellow classmates

Although I wasn’t lucky enough to be one of the luck mouth of mum’s parents to receive a freebie for review, I was very intrigued after reading these reviews that I purchased some from the supermarket for my family and I to try. We loved it! It spread on well. The taste was great. It went well with sandwiches, toast, cruskits, ryvita and saladas. Highly recommended!

My youngest is so fussy it’s sometimes so hard to find something he will actually eat. He absolutely loved the taste, he will eat it on sandwiches or on biscuits. It was easy to spread and he likes to help cook (as he puts it). He helped spread it on his biscuit and he was so excited that he could do it. While having a sneaky finger dip.

Overall the ingredients are nice (the roast chickpeas and reast sunflower seeds, vegetable oil and sea salt; except the anti-oxidants and the sugar. I don’t like to buy peanut butter, peanut butter substitutes, or chocolate spreads with sugar

My thoughts were that the product didn’t have the same flavour as a peanut butter but in saying that my kids loved it. What a great alternative for those who have allergies.

My kids both enjoyed the peaNOT butter smooth trial. We’ve tried alternatives before and both my kids preferred the real deal with peanut butter. However, they both tried peaNOT butter on toast and they didn’t blink an eye and polished it off without question or complaint. I love that this can be a spread for me during the mid term where I struggle to find things to put on their lunches. Just to flag that if you have a picky eater or a child who doesn’t like to be tricked, they will likely be able to distinguish between the two. I’d be honest and let them know what it is – you never know, they may love it as much as mine did.

Our family are huge satay fans & I was so hoping that this could be an option for us but sadly, my kids weren’t fans of this. It didn’t quite have the taste of peanut butter.
It is a great option & would recommend anyone with a nut allergy to give it a try.

I quite liked the taste, it’s hard to believe you are eating dry roasted chickpeas. It really tastes like peanut butter without all the additives. I would eat this product on toast or sourdough, also on rice cakes. However my three kids didn’t really take to the u inquest taste.

PeaNOT Butter spread is a great alternative!. It is such a great substitute for the peanut butter, I can now pack the peaNOT butter sandwiches and celery and peaNUT butter snacks as before I wasn’t able to due to their no nut policy. My whole family loved the spread!. It made lunches an easy option and I felt good giving the kids a spread that was made from healthy chickpeas. I loved using it in my protein/bliss ball recipe that I use peanut butter in! We really can’t tell the difference! I would definitely recommend this spread!

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 hazelNOT 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.

My children really enjoyed both flavours given to use we used it every way we normally would use peanut butter. In cookies in smoothies on toast and even on rice cakes. The kids didn’t notice a slight taste difference but overall there were some great similarities

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
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!
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.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Banana Boat to bring you this article.
My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
