<strong”>Why you’ll love the new Woolworths Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salad Kit …
For the Woolworths Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salad Kit Product Review we asked mums to try this salad kit that’s made up of a deliciously cooked and flavoured pre-cooked wholegrain freekah combined with roasted pumpkin in a light lemon dressing combined with fetta, pumpkin seeds and a balsamic glaze.
All ingredients are packaged separately within the larger salad container for freshness and crunch. So all you have to do is mix them together just before serving.
How easy is that? No needing to buy (and prepare) all the separate ingredients! Just tip into a bowl, mix and serve.
We think these Woolworths Salad Kits are a brilliant idea for those times when you’re asked to bring a salad along to a BBQ or party … or even a picnic! And they are absolutely an inspired choice for busy weeknight dinners when you only have minutes to put dinner together.
Me and my family totally love the woolies pumpkin and grain salad kit. It tastes great and super fresh. I like how they separately pack everything so if someone doesn’t want to add a particular thing, it’s okay. I have tried to mix this up with a number of other healthy items..the best is with baby spinach and some extra feta. The quantity and quality, both are great. It’s a winner and one of my fav woolies salad.

We were looking forward to having friends over for lunch, and normally I would love spending time in the kitchen preparing the perfect meal. This particular weekend, though, life was a little crazy. The school year was nearly finished, and the two teachers in the house were pressed for time and stretched to our limits (and with bushfires on the doorstep, school days were decidedly different than they normally are anyway!). Our teenage kids would normally help out, but they were also busy with end of year excursions and activities. This time around, easy options had to win out!
I picked out a couple of Woolworths Deli salads to go with the meat for the bbq, and I was so glad I did. Regular deli salads can get a bit samey – all creamy mayo dressings and heavy contents. These were totally different! I was able to prep the salads in less than a minute, but the ingredients were all fresh and high quality. I particularly liked the Pumpkin and Grain salad, and the quantity was generous. If I needed to stretch it, I could have easily served this salad over a bed of baby spinach or mixed greens and fed even more people. The salads were a hit with everyone from the adults to the two year old!
I’d definitely pick these up again for an easy, high quality addition to a meal. A home made salad would have taken more time and effort, this was just as nice and allowed me to focus on our guests and enjoying some time to relax rather than spending time in the kitchen preparing a meal!

I love how convenient the salad kit is. It is perfect for a healthy dinner side dish and also tastes great. I also like how the fresh it tastes because the feta, seeds, and dressing is all packed separately. I am also quite picky with feta cheese and the one in the salad kit tasted really good. I would definitely purchase the salad kits again as it helps to incorporate healthier foods in my families diet

I had to fight the crowds to get to my salad kit section of the deli today, which meant other people already knew what I was about to find out. This salad kit was tasty, nutritious, filling and packed full of goodies!
I am dairy free so I excluded the fetta cheese from my salad but included it in my husbands portion which I found really handy. I don\\\’t think I\\\’ll need a snack this afternoon either because the freekeh has left me feeling so satiated!! I would definitely recommend this salad to people who like quick healthy salads for work as well as for dinner or parties.

I loved the look of these salads so much that I couldn’t choose just 1! The combination of the pasta or grains with the fresh salad ingredients, dressing and cheese makes it an all-in-one Salad that needs nothing added to it. The kits are a perfect accompaniment to a protein for dinner, or on its own as a special, easy lunch. They are especially great for hot summer nights when you don’t want to cooking with a hot oven.

My son loved it and had the two salads as his main.. haha. Yeah he preferred the salads over the pizzas. He enjoyed it and so I think this will be a perfect combination from now on and based on quality I Recommend trying this out.

simply love the Greek salad kit from Woolworths. All the salads are so fresh and so very easy to make. The salad is very tasty with a delicious dressing. The salads are reasonably priced and the quality is just simply great. They are quite famous, grab them quick. The quantity is adequate for one person but you can always increase the quantity by adding more stuff like feta and spinach. Recommend trying.

This salad, while costing $9, is big enough to share. It is ulta convenient and with the different ingredients separated it is easy to add less of any of them to suit individual taste. For example my daughter would have added less of the seeds but I would have not used the full dressing sachet and I loved the seeds. I particularly liked the pumpkin in the salad as it added a different flavour and layer of interest. The 4 * rating was also encouraging with respect to future purchases as it is healthy as well as looking healthy.

This salad makes bringing something to a bbq to share very convenient and healthy. Altho the fetta cheese, seeds and sauce were packed separately on another tray i am not sure if the veg and couscous could be separated too. The rocket salad was a little dam for my liking. Other than that the size to share for 4 was more than sufficient. Will try the other flavours when I have to bring a dish to share.

The Woolworths salad kits are a great idea. I tried the roasted pumpkin and grains salad kit. It was very tasty but would have been better with a little bit more green leafy salad to mix in.

As a vegetarian of 30+ years this salad was the best choice for me. It was very tasty but a little stodgy. According to the list of ingredients there was basil pesto which I could neither identify nor taste. The dressing, although nice did not really complement the salad. On my limited budget this is not a product I would buy again as it was much too expensive.

Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salads x 2 were the perfect lunch accompaniment to the Christmas lunch cold meats excesses used for a relaxing Boxing Day , easily prepared lunch for family and house guests. The salads were enjoyed by all. Healthy, nutritious and I loved the chunky roast pumpkin pieces. I made one salad using all the ingredients and the second salad without the addition of the balsamic glaze. I put the glaze in a small jug closeby for any person who chose to add their own glaze.
Roasted Pumpkin and Grains Salads was such a success that now I’m eager to try the other varieties.

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.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place!

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.
