  • It’s a hit for our Punks!

    Our Punks have different palates, one lives for her blueberry yoghurt and the other loves her “malilla”, as she calls it. I was going through so many of these every week that I tried buying big tubs of the flavours they love but in different brands and putting it in those reusable pouches to save a bit of money. It didn’t go very well, and I figured that it was the petit miam formula that was the hit! So now I’m back to Miss Blueberry having at least 3 a day and Miss Malilla not far behind with at least two a day! Wondering if I should buy shares in the company! ????????

  • Yummy goodness!

    I buy these every week. My children love them! Favourite flavours are strawberry, blueberry and vanilla. There great for a snack at home and also great for the children’s lunch box for a healthier yummy treat, just pack them with an iceblock and your all set. I would recommend these to all mums as a healthier choice for a snack rather than potato chips, lollies and chocolate. Big thumbs up Petit Miam!

  • So easy to use

    I love the easy to carry, easy to store pouches. Fits into lunch boxes very easily and it isn’t necessary to worry about remembering to put in a spoon as the little people can feed straight from the pouch. Lids are easily removed by little people themselves making them feel more independent. There is a variety of flavours to choose from making it an easy alternative for offering everyday. Having a lower sugar content makes this an ideal snack.

  • Creamy and full of flavour

    My kids have all been huge yogurt fans, over the years we have tried and tested many flavours and brands. Petit miam is smooth, creamy and jam packed full of satisfying flavours. Not only do they contain real fruit, but having no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives gives me peace of mind that my children are able to enjoy one of the best yoghurts on the market.

  • Happy for natural yoghurt finally!

    Low in sugar and not creating a dependency in sweet tastes this yoghurt is mild but a great form of natural probiotics in a convenient snack product. We freeze them to take on daytrips – keeps our sandwiches cool and defrost in tine for morning tea!

There is no need to push for them to finish the pack as it will definitely be gone. A healthy option that both the parents and kids love, yummy and convenient.

  • Petit for those petit snacks

    We love the variety in flavours and the colour helps the kids identify their favourites.
    The smaller size is ideal as an after dinner treat when the kids start to use their second stomach for treats.
    The smaller size is ideal for lunchboxes too.
    The pouches are easier to handle for the kids as they can hold them in their hands and either squeeze onto a spoon or eat straight from the pouch when on the go. I definitely find there is less mess, whereas with the pots they get it on their hands and table whilst trying to scrape the last bit out.
    The kids love the tropical flavour the most.

  • My son loves his “squeezy yoghurt”

    I love the convenience of the little squeeze pouch – easy to take out for snacks.

    There is a nice variety of flavours to choose from.

    I love how this has less sugar than other yoghurts. It’s a delicious snack that my son adores.

    My son loves them so much I’m glad he can’t open them himself, otherwise he’d eat them all in one day!

  • Loving the less sugar

    I have to say, the first thing I noticed was 30% less sugar as well as a no added sugar option. I think yoghurt, being dairy, is an important part of children’s diets. But it is often off putting when you see how much sugar is in a serve. Not good for adults let alone kids. I love the range of flavours, keeps everyone happy. SUper smooth and creamy and the screw top pouch…..brilliant idea for kids yoghurt

  • Petit Yum Yum!!

    My kids are fussy when it comes to yogurts, but loved all the flavours in these! I feel good about them eating it too, knowing it’s lower in sugar than most of the other brands on the market! Especially handy for snacks on the go, my kids also love Petit Miam frozen in their lunches, so they are still nice and cold at break time!

  • Which flavour today???

    Perfect for little hands to control. No spillage as in squeeze tubes. Range of flavours available. We always choose strawberry or blueberry as his preference but fruit salad is apparently ‘a-ok’.
    Sure, there is sugar in the yoghurt But Let’s be honest, there are worse snacks you can provide for your child. For a Kindy approved lunch box filler for $1.00 I’m ok with it.

  • Yummy, convenient toddler snack

    My child (almost 3) loved these yoghurts. He not only enjoyed the flavours, but loved the squeezy pouches they came in. As a parent, these were convenient and fairy nutritious. They were slightly higher in sugar than I’d have preferred but overall were a win. They only real issue I have with them is the plastic wastage they created.

  • Kids liked it, that's good enough for me!

    My kids eat yoghurt on a regular basis and love squeeze packs (less washing up for me too). At the time we tried the Yoplait Petit Miam there were other brands in our fridge. The kids did not notice any difference between the other yoghurts. If they didn’t complain then it must have been good. Strawberry seemed to be their favourite flavour as this was gone first. Loved that it had less sugar as these type of snacks are generally loaded with them. Would definitely buy again as the price is good too.

  • A definite winner!

    I’m posting this as a follow up review to my last one. My almost 4 year old generally hates fruit, but we had a breakthrough with these. She ate a whole blueberry one from her lunchbox one day, where vanilla was preferred before. This has since become a regular thing, she loves the banana or berry flavours, and she has since began asking for a Yoplait Petit Miam yoghurt with breakfast or as a snack. Gone are the sugar laden custards that used to fill my fridge and her lunchbox. Thank you for allowing us to review these. This is a major win for us. 🙂

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.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

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
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • 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.

  • I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
