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.

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 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.

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.

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
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
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
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.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
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.
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
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.

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.

A hit with the family
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.

So tasty and healthy
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.
