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
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.
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.

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.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). 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.
