So I’m probably not telling you anything new, but I’m obsessed with the Yumbox. So when Megan from Yumbox Australia (minihippo) sent me two yumbox mini snacks to try out, I was over the moon. She had hinted they were coming a while before that…and the next thing I knew they were in my hands! You can read my Yumbox Minisnack review, then decide if you want NEED one!
If you’re wondering what the big deal is, the yumbox is leakproof and compartmentalised and perfect for little lunches. The minisnack operates on the same principles, it is leakproof from compartment to compartment, the lid seals completely so it’s leak proof and it has 3 compartments, perfect for laying out the perfect recess snack. There’s no doubt that Yumbox are extraordinarily good at what they do, and the minisnack is no exception to that.
It’s easy to open, holds 1.5 cups of food and is tough. It’s deeper than the unusal yumbox and does contain a surprising amount of snack! Our favourite way to use it is to have fruit on one side and crackers and cheese or muffins on the other, or cookies, or anything really. The small treat section for us either contains blueberries or carrot sticks or sultanas, or something else just as yummy. They have the usual yumbox design, with the removeable tray and clip on the front.
You also need to know this: if you aren’t quite in the yumbox market yet- i.e. your kids aren’t having lunches out and about or you’re just feeding a toddler, you will be glad to hear that even yoghurt in this doesn’t spill in your handbag!
What else do you need to know? Well, they are being released in 3 colours, pink, blue and green and are going to retail at $26.95 each.
They’ve just opened preorders for these in Australia, but I have two…brand new ones to give away thanks to Mini hippo Australia. So if you’re lucky, you can enter below and win one, meaning that you’ll be one of the first people in Oz to have them!

Once upon a time, there was a little princess called Sadie. She was quite an independent young lady, and liked to do everything all on her own. At the top of her castle, one dark and windy night, she spoke “I’M REALLY HUUUUUNGRY!!”. Her mother tried and tried to find the perfect solution to stop her being hungry ALL of the time. But she began to say that very same sentence again and again. It became unbearable. Even when it was meal time, again she would say “I’M REALLY HUUUNGRY!!” Nothing would satisfy her pleas. It got worse. MUCH worse. Every minute of every day, the princess yelled “I’M REALLY HUUUNGRY!” Suddenly, princess Sadie’s mother had a grand idea “I know; I will find her a pink Yumbox snack box. I will fill it with many interesting things- pineapple, strawberries, crackers, peas, cheese, yoghurt, dip.. Oh the possibilities! She will never again mutter that horrible sentence. Her hunger will forever be satisfied AND she will be able to open it all on her own, whenever and wherever she pleases!”
But will the princess get her Yumbox? Will she never again mutter that sentence? Will her mother be spared?
To be continued…

Ooh I so need this for my toddler. I’d fill it with blueberries, yoghurt dip and kiwi fruit slices – basically all his favourite things!
Catherine says
This would be a perfect size for after school snacks. I would love a green one to fill with toasted mountain bread chips with homemade chunky corn, avocado and tomato salsa. Add a little grated cheese or sour cream to the small well to really top it off.

Mini yumboxes are super cute! We would fill ours with strawberries on the right with yoghurt in the mini section for dipping! On the left would be vitaweats with butter and Vegemite. Perfect for munching on.
