Woolworths Select Vanilla flavoured Rice Bars make a great snack and are always a hit with the kids.
Whether it’s lunchtime, after school or just a treat on the go, Select Rice Bars include the goodness of puffed white rice and help provide kids with the energy they need to fuel their active bodies.
Select Rice Bars contain no artificial colours or flavours and are low in saturated fat.
Available at Woolworths in Vanilla, Vanilla with Choc Chip and Chocolate with Choc Chip. RRP $3.29 for 6 bars.
Quality is awesome, great snack for either at school, at work or even when out and about. Great for when your child is a little hungry and you want some goodness with their diet. My daughter loves it for school, even share with her classmates as they like it too. Definitely recommend and have already done so and bought many times. Price is exceptional!
At first we were always buying BRAND name items. But due to budget, we decided to start trying less expensive products! These were one of those less expensive products. The children love them for their every now and again snack, and the taste is very much the same as the expensive brand of the same kind of bar! I have recommended these to everyone we know with children..
i packed these for the kids in their lunchboxes, they came home saying they loved them, thank you woolies for coming up with these, they are more reasonable to buy than others, they taste great, handy size, good packaging, good quality, i will make sure i purchase these for the kids again
Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars are as good as the Brand name bars in taste and size.Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars are value for money and the kids love them.I use Woolworths Vanilla Rice Bars as a sanck in there lunchboxes with a piece of fruit .I would reccomend Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars as part of a balance diet that includes fresh fruit and vegetables
these bars are so tasty i love the vanilla rice bars and the kids like the chocolate ones but when they run out of the choc ones i notice they eat the vanilla one that they dont like they dont last long enough to put them in the lunch boxes
Still buying it, my girls love to put in their lunch box for school. The flavours they enjoy, constantly asking for more, one a day is plenty though. My husband even like them for his “lunch box” for work, except he likes 2 in his, so we go through a lot. It’s good that the price is reasonable and not as expensive as others.
I like the woolworths rice bars compared to LCMs. I find these one has more flavour to them. Really great taste. And they’re too expensive at all. My daughters loves to snack on these now and then aswell. I quite to enjoy one after dinner sometimes. Will be buying them again
My kids love these and they are not as sweet as the other brands that we have tried. They are a lot cheaper to so definitely value for money. When I get the chance these are the one the kids prefer so that pretty much says it all.
I’m always looking for something sweet . I love the Woolworths select vanilla rice bars.
They are great for school lunches.
My daughter loves them.
I even keep sine in my bag to snack on while I’m working.
Great price I got them on special from Woolworths for $2.99 .
Cheaper than other brands still has a great taste.:)
Kids love them but high in sugar. I tried them and found them very sweet. ..
Kids as I said really love them. They are a sometimes snack. .. I did have my grand daughter over and she was a bit flat I gave her a bar and she perked up .. We took her to dr she was fine .. So if kids are a little flat these are perfect .. But I would not give them daily
My kids really love Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars when they spot them in the pantry.
For myself, I don’t really like them. I find them overly sweet and very sticky. Sometimes I think they taste almost plasticky.
The pricing is more than reasonable. They are a lot cheaper than other brands out there.
So while I don’t enjoy Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars, my girls really adore them and love it when I buy them.

I purchased the Woolworths rice bars in vanilla with choc chips for my kids to snack on and I loved them. What were supposed to be my kids lunch box snacks became my indulgence. They taste just as good as the big branded products but at a much cheaper price. They come in a few different variety of flavours which I look forward to trying out soon.
I really don’t enjoy the taste or the quality of Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars. For me, they taste to manufactured, not at all nice.
However, on the odd times my kids get Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars, they absolutely love them!
I don’t rate Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars very highly but, my kids do!
Okay if you've never tasted the leading brand version!
I’m a firm believer in giving any cheaper alternative (home brand version) of leading products, and have found some lovely replacements to my more expensive/popular groceries by giving them a try. Unfortunately, these won’t be a permanent item in my pantry. They just don’t come close to the main brand one, just not as tasty overall which is the main factor with a treat such as these! Not too bad, but not terribly good either.
Again, I picked up a packet of Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars on a reduced sale (I wonder if they’re deleting the line?). Personally, I really don’t like these bars, I find overly sweet, plasticity and sticky. In saying that however, my kids love them! I really don’t understand why. Oh well, it’s a very occasional treat, and not everyday.
These woollies vanilla rice bars are gross! One bite out of it and I hated it, bland and had the most awful smell to them. The price is ridiculous I would much prefer to buy LCMs when they are on special for 6pk for $2. Quality is awful, the taste was discusting, they were very over priced. I would not recommend these and I won’t be buying them again ever! Not a winner in this household at all!
I bought it from Woolworth last week where there was some discount in it.. It is good but it sticks in the mouth and it is sweet as well, but the choc dip was a great mix with it, my child liked it but i don’t think she can have it daily, its bit more sweet than normal oats or nutty bars, but you can enjoy it once a week or when you go out for picnic, i would recommend it as a snack which you can eat occasionally.
I bought a packet of the Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars with milk chocolate drops today because they were reduced sale. Once again, my girls were overjoyed to have them but I found them to sickly sweet. Not my favourite snack food but every once in a while is okay I think. Certainly wouldn’t stock them in the pantry on a regular basis.
I bought these a while ago when I was on a small budget, they didn’t taste nice at all compared to lcm bars. The taste was off, the texture was off and I just didn’t like them at all. I think due to quality they should be cheaper. We didn’t even eat them all, my kids were sent some as a treat with their school lunch and then they wouldn’t eat them after trying one bite. My eldest had one put back in her lunchbox for a week before I just threw them out, waste of money and I don’t even know why still on shelf, couldn’t imagine many people would purchase them. Both myself and children would rather eat a piece of fruit then these and for my kids that’s saying something.
so while we all do like this product, they are sweet and super sticky. you will find the rice bubbles from this, stuck to things. trust me, i’m so careful about cleaning up after my children eat, but the rice bubbles will stick to their clothes, hair and chairs, end up on the floor and stick to your feet!
these are worth buying. just beware that this is not a great idea to eat in the car or in public without wipes
Woolworths Select Vanilla Rice Bars were purchased when they were on special as I find them very expensive for what they are. Its similar to LCM’s but sweeter and stickier. The kids enjoyed them but I wouldn’t be giving one to them everyday due to the amount of sugar that is in these bars. They are fine for an occasional treat.
Woolworths select rice bars are ok but, they are something I wouldn’t buy all the time. The kids love them however, and get very excited when they see the rice bars in the pantry. In our house, the bars are considered to be an occasional food and not an everyday treat.
A treat not an everyday snack. My son loved these and asked for them a lot for morning and afternoon teas but I had to be strict for him not to have them whenever he asked for them. They are very, very sweet…he liked that they were sticky and liked making a mess while eating a bar.
these are yummy but very sweet and pretty sticky and i have tried the other flavours which are really nice as well. my kids love these as a treat and they are just as good as the legit brand. i think they could be cheaper but are a nice price when they are on special. i recommend these for a nice treat
The vanilla rice bars I bought had added choc chips to the top. I bought them as a special treat for my kids. The kids loved them but, I thought they tasted a bit plasticky and very sweet. This is not an every day snack for the lunchbox but rather something to have on the odd occasion.
Like the similar versions in other brands, I don’t like this as a snack for kids, as it has very little nutritious value, and loads of sugar. It’s not something that fills kids up or gives them sustained energy.
Personally I don’t think they taste too good either, although the kids think they are good (no doubt due to how sweet they are).

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

So happy to share the magic of baby powder after a messy day at the beach or park! It’s been a game changer for us.
Not quite as elaborate as the pop up tent, but a large towel with a hood has been great to discretely change out of bathers! It’s my husband’s go to now haha
My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
