Woolworths Select Chewy Muesli Bars are a snack you can give your kids with confidence.
Whether it’s lunchtime, after school or just a treat on the go, Select Chewy Muesli Bars include the goodness of wholegrains and help provide kids with the energy they need to fuel their active bodies.
Select Muesli Bars contain no artificial colours or flavours and are low in sodium and are a source of dietary fibre.
Available at Woolworths in Apricot, Strawberry or Chocolate Chip. RRP is $3.29 for 6 bars.
My daughter loves taking one of these to school each day for her lunchbox, healthy and appetising and gives her lots of energy to have through out the day when running about and learning. She loves the taste and I love the quality it has, real fruit, real flavour and pretty much great for any kind of snack.
Select Muesli Bars contain no artificial colours or flavours and are low in sodium and are a source of dietary fibre which not only makes them a perfect snack for the children but a guilt free snack that I can have as well. It is convenient enough to throw into a handbag when you are on the go.
They are an excellent quality, well priced and delicious snack!
I didn't review these on MOM's but I have bought these & still do. I much prefer chewy muesli bars & the flavour of these are lovely. I find some brands too sweet but these are perfect & perfectly affordable.
I love these, actually all the family love these, but my hubby and i take these to work with us, i work outdoors and as i'm going from client to another i will have one of these for morning tea, and i find they are just the right size snack and filling enough to get me through till lunch
I love most of the woolworths select range and these chewy muesli bars are on the list! Like other brands there are different flavours to choose from (Strawberry, Apricot and chic chip) and they taste very good! They have nice pictures on the packaging and are a source of fibre. They have no artificial colours or flavours and are low in sodium. Ticks all round!
There great snacks and for those times you cannot have breakfast or lunch. Those on to go times and your run of your feet not time to a bit to eat. Fantastic flavor and good to to eat. Thumbs up.
Well the chewy apricot is definitely a hit with my kids and me. Again these are not as sweet as other brands which I think my kids prefer, as they are not as sickly. The price is right too, When ever possible this is the brand the kids pick so that pretty much sums it up.
i have tried all 3 flavours & i will say the strawberry flavour was my fav than the choc i wasnt really fussed on the apricot but they have a lot a favour which was good they are really nice & my kiddies really like them they liked the choc ones the best

I regularly buy Woolworths Select Chewy Muesli Bars as a little treat for when on the go and are always happy with them. Low pricing, a chewy but, not to chewy texture and it fills the gap between meals. Woolworths Select Chewy Muesli Bars are a firm favourite in our house.
It's hard to find a basic museli bar that tastes great to both myself and my kids. Most others have failed to be a hit, but these weren't bad at all. Not the best, but definitely worth buying again. I'm not much of a fan of artificial strawberry as it tastes too sweet, but these were quite nice and I would actually eat them again! Would only buy these on special though, not something I would pay top dollar for.
I will buy these Woolworths Select Chewy Muesli Bars on occasion for a different taste and texture to what my partner normally prefers. I like the Apricot bars the best. I find that muesli bars are a great snack to have on hand to give you a hit of sugar and carbohydrates when you feel you're flagging. The oats in the bars keep you going. It's a really cost effective snack.
After reading the reviews of Woolworths Select Chewy Muesli Bars I decided to buy and try these bars. I was able to easily locate and buy these bars. The price of these bars is reasonable; in fact; they are cheaper than the usual muesli bars that I buy for the family. Will put them to the taste test.
Unless there is another product on sale, I regularly purchase Woolworths Select Chewy Muesli Bars. The kids seem to enjoy them, as a box tends to get eaten pretty fast. As the same suggests, theses muesli bars are chewy and very tasty. They are handy to have to throw in the lunch box occasionally but I wouldn't eat them everyday.
I tried the chocolate chip muesli bars and thought they were really nice. They were nice and chewy not hard like a rock, like other brands are, they are a great snack to go with kids lunches or to have after school because the wholegrains they contain give kids more energy and they stop kids feeling hungry. I recommend these to all mums who's kids are always hungry before lunch or dinner and I also recommend all mums to enjoy them too.
I do the shopping for my husband as well and He carves for healthy snack and I usually get this muesli bars from Woolworth especially the strawberry flavored one which he likes the most and he grabs it when he goes to office, He either have it as a breakfast supplementary or evening snacks, it makes him fill his stomach and good nutrition provider as well.. good value for the money we spend.
I do my dads shopping and he is always asking me for a snack to have before bed or in the middle of the night if he gets hungry, I started buying him muesli bars and he loved it, when I saw the woolworths ones I though I would give them a go because the price was good. He really didn't like them compared to what I had previously bought him. Best to pay a bit more for a bit better product. But good for the price you pay
These muesli bars are ok for the price. They don't taste too bad and are cheap so can't complain. I would personally rather spend a little more though. They are good for kids though, the kids are them no problems. I guess it depends who will be eating them and what they want out if a muesli bar, for my kids it was a lunchbox snack. So overall good for price, good if on budget but if can afford better would go with a better option.
For the price, Woolworths Select Chewy Muesli Bars deliver a reasonable good product. I don't eat them myself but, my kids do and don't complain or ask me to buy any other brand. Depending on what's on sale, I will purchase other types of muesli bars however, my kids don't seem to have a preference one way or the other.
muesli bars, not as nice as others but meet a need
The Woolworths Select Muesli bars are certainly priced to sell, however when I bought them my fussy kids would not eat them, they certainly tried them but I think that they have acquired a taste for the muesli bars that have been around for years and they do not really like change, I tried them and did not really like the flavour, bit chewy, dry, and just not as palatable to what I am used to, I think that anyone who had not tried others would not notice the difference and they are handy to have in the pantry but for my family I will have to be held to ransom and purchase the more expensive ones.
I bought these for my little miss 4 as a morning snack in the strawberry flavour. And her response is that they are yummy and they really must have been as when I went to get her one the next day there was only 3 left in the box. Have also bought them since.
I bought these for the kids but one day organising I thought I'd give them a go. Both the four year olds, daddy and me enjoyed them. They were devoured in moments and sometimes little ones can complain when its something new to try, but they didn't. Have bought these a couple times since, great price for the box, but more flavours would be awesome to try!
these are a product that when it is on special, is an amazing price! the kids just love these and they are great to just add to their lunch box. they are a bit crunchy and chewy like but my hubby liked it that way. i think that is a little sweet but of course that makes the kids like it. i have had a child bring one home and i opened it and even after a long, hot day at school, it seemed fine, some other brands go really sticky and kind of melted and mush
Woolworths Select Chewy muesli bars are great for an on the go snack! Great for my son's lunch box for kindy. He loves that they are chewy and I like them for an afternoon snack with a coffee. They are pretty good quality. I like the apricot and my son likes the strawberry flavour.
My kids really seem to enjoy woolworths select chewy muesli bars. Handy to have in the pantry as a quick snack on the go or as a lunch box filler. I think the bars are a reasonable price and represent good value for money. I quite like this product from woolworths.
i think that these taste pretty nice and are really chewy. i bought these on special to try them out and i think that i would only buy them on special again.
my kids liked them (even though they are pretty chewy) and they are a great little treat for a lunchbox snack
I recently bought these as a snack on the go and was pleasantly surprised. Great price, nice texture and it filled the gap until lunchtime. My girls devoured these and have asked me to buy again for their lunch boxes. The only suggestion I would make would be to have more flavours.

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
