As mums, anything we can do to encourage our children to start the day with a healthy breakfast is a good thing.
Which is why we’re excited to introduce the new BIX app from Weet-Bix … that’s going to have kids everywhere lining up for a healthy breakfast.
How does the Weet-bix BIX App work?
Bix are like a trade-able currency. You collect Bix every day using your BIX app while you eat your breakfast by scanning the QR code on special Weet-Bix packs and use them to access unique experiences, instant vouchers,prizes and gifts.
To start collecting Bix you need the BIX app.
The Bix app can be downloaded from the App Store to use on your iPhone or go to weetbix.com.au/bix to sign up on your smartphone or computer.
Bix can even be used to gain access to exclusive content like videos of pro tips from teenage superstars – look for the ‘Your Turn’ stuff in the USE section of the app. Plus simply scanning the QR code every day also gives you entries into competitions.
In the Weet-Bix BIX App review, mums selected to be part of the Weet-Bix App review team will receive a 750g pack of Weet-Bix containing the QR codes your kids can start downloading. We’ll be asking mums and their families to download the BIX app, start collecting Bix, getting involved as much as possible and then post their review and ratings on this page. You might even like to get your kids to post a review for you!

We have all loved weetbix . This new app is very interesting . I have it on my computer. What a great interactive way for children to enjoy their breakfast. And the prizes were great also. There was some $20 Roxygift vouchers iI bet mist young girls would live this. And movie vouchers. I'm just going to try and win myself a weetbix dowl.
My son got home on Friday and was so excited about the BIX app and then when we went through the prizes that you can achieve by scanning every day he was over joyed. I'm sure I'll get reminded tomorrow to scan. I have also taken some nice photos that I will upload tomorrow.
The App itself was fast and easy to download. Very easy to use. Very easy to view prizes and it was lots of fun for the whole family remembering to scan the box. The kids aged 4 and 6, are getting more excited every morning as they get closer to claiming there desired prize.
It's been over a week and my kids are still enjoying there weetbix and scanning for bix! :-) it is taking a while to save them and hoping that there are still some good prizes available by the time we get them! Will they add more do you think??!! Oh well keeping my kids happy anyways!
WOW! What a great way to encourage your children to eat a healthy breakfast! The app was easy to download and very user friendly even for the young ones. My children get up and the first thing they want to do is scan their weet bix- after they have finished of course! The prizes are great will be interesting to see what is available when we have accumulated enough bix! I will be telling my friends about this one! Thanks!
My daughter is enjoying scanning the barcode everyday we are getting closer to a prize so everyday she reminds me after eating her weet bix she is like mum can we scan it and loves that she will be getting a movie ticket soon so we will be able to go in the school holidays thanks MOM for the opportunity
We would love to be able to scan all weetbix consumed but for now we will scan once per day and the little ones love to scan,we love the app as this gets all breakfast consumed to be first to scan, thanks for the great start to our day.
This is a great app to download and very easy to use. My kids have loved the prizes and get very exited each morning to scan the weet bix box. I would recommend this to kids over the age of 10 because they are likely to value the prizes . Over all it is a great app.
This App was amazingly easy to download. My son was so excited when we had a box of Weet-Bix turn up on our door and we investigated how to use the App. So many exciting things to look forward to. The scanner is so easy to use for kids and adults alike. Basically just by scanning every day whilst enjoying our favourite breakfast cereal we get to become eligible for rewards and great prizes! I'll keep everyone posted on any prizes we may win! Fingers crossed.
When I seen this advertised on the larger weetbix box I thought why not get the bigger box for the try out of the app etc for my boy. Well it was a let down. The app isn't that great and like usual the prizes aren't glamerous. My son does not really use or interact with the app anymore. It was easy enough to download but not being used so have deleted it since. Maybe for others it might be great but not in this family. Will still be eating weetbix though!
My kids eat week bix every morning for breakfast, and have done for years. When this promotion first become available i was really excited. However from the very beginning the app too ages to down load, some days the credits would work and other days the would not. It took ages for points to add up and then when I finally had enough to redeem a gift the app would not work and I lost my points.
We'll they got rid of that suddenly!it was great to start out with and we received an awesome huge breakfast bowl but after that it was hard to get anything good.i also had to delete the app a couple of times.if they brought it back though I'd probably use it again
Well, I'll be a little wary of future Weetbix promotions. This app turned out to be problematic in the long run - it kept hanging, so I had to delete it and download it again at least once or twice most weeks. And it didn't always register a scan, but then would refuse to accept a second try... More importantly, they seemed to forget half way through that it was about kids. Prizes were often put up during school hours or late at night, so not accessible to my kids at least; and then the promotion ended fairly abruptly, with very few prizes available in the last couple of months, leaving us with hundreds of unredeemable points. My kids were disappointed, and this wasn't at all what we thought we were promised when the promotion started. I won't want to get my kids too excited about future Weetbix promotions in case they're disappointed again.
I downloaded the app for my son who eats weetbix most days, but we struggle to get enough 'bix' to earn any prizes so it is disappointing for him. Not worth the time or effort...
My son loved the app like so many others. It would be great if they did this again as their consumers got a lot of fun and prizes from it. A great motivation for kids to have a healthy breakfast.
i like the app but it sometimes wouldnt load so had to change devices to get my points also there was hardly any good products for reasonable points ive manage only two pairs of swimming goggles and somesnooze icypoles but hey it was all free so really cant complain to much hoping to get enough points for a duffle bag and hope there available before it ends
Great promotion for the kids had my son eating 8 weetbix a morning!
Weetbix are a healthy, oldie and with the new sugary cereals available i felt that having this extra incentive makes it better for kids to engage with the product range and we got a few extras too!
We downloaded this after seeing it on MOM but have to admit its been forgotten in the breakfast rush, it would be good if you were committed to doing it all the time and had older children. And i have so many apps on my phone did I really need another one. Life is so hectic and everyone wants their bit of you.
Scanning barcode idea is great as I have one who loves weetbix, the other not as much but things are changing. He is having 2 now so fun app in all & kids love it :)
every time we checked there never seemed to be prizes available. they had some great prizes but we never were able to redeem them. Then i upgraded my phone and when i reinstalled the app on my new phone all the points were gone. a bit disheartened but should've thought of that beforehand i guess. great idea though and i will think ahead next time.
I did not apply to review the Weet Bix App, but I did download it two or three weeks ago. its a great app with some fantastic rewards and it does encourage my kids to eat Weet Bix in the morning so they can scan the bar code. They scan it every morning. Its a great app to have
Pig downloaded this all after reading all the reviews from here. Such a really great and fantastic idea. My daughter loves her weetbix. And even though she is three I get her to scan the codes. She's finds it really fun and enjoyable. With a little help from me she knows how to use it while I watch her.
I must say. This is a genius idea as its something you can get your kids involved in daily and get them to eat weetbix since they are already pulling it out to scan the barcode. My 5 year old loved trying this app and ive lost track of how many times he has done this.
The app was easy to download to my Iphone, but really thats where it stopped. Only one of my kids like weatbix and she does not eat it every day. I thought the app might encourage them to eat more but they were not really interest and on the morning my daughter did eat them we usually forgot about the app.
I found it silly that a breakfast cereal became an app. My kids aren't into phones, ipods etc with apps so it was on no use to us. They love weetbix but it just wasn't something they connected with. I ended up deleting the app off my phone once I realised they didn't care.
I currently have the weetbix app on my phone its great. You can even receive prizes with no points at all. There were just some tickets to see jessica mauboy for no points. This makes it a fun and exciting app to have and a great one for all the kids.
I have had this app on my phone for months it is brilliant to have i have won some great prizes off it and i use it when ever the kids have weet bix for breakfast or sometimes i even have weet bix as a snack or breakfast this app was easy to download and so easy to use great idea weet bix have come up with

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
