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.
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

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.
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).

‘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

Kids love 'em!
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.
