Little Bellies is passionate about providing wholesome and delicious foods for babies, toddlers and kids, and is excited to share a selection of their snacks in our free trial.
Little Bellies was founded by two brothers after one of their children was diagnosed with severe sensitivities to food. The safe snack options at the time were limited so they made it their mission to make simple, wholesome, age-and-stage appropriate snacks that parents could trust. The Little Bellies range is safe for self-feeding and certified organic with no artificial colours or flavours.
The Little Bellies TASTY TEXTURES range for 7+ months babies introduces soft shapes, with subtle flavours and new texture experiences for mini mouths, that little fingers can hold.
The MORE TO EXPLORE range for 10+ months babies brings new adventures in taste, shape and texture to help promote independence.
The TODDLERS IN TRAINING range for 12+ months toddlers includes snacks with more adventurous textures, shapes and flavours to encourage a positive transition to toddlerhood.

We received blue berry and apple melt , apricot date and oat bar as well as cheese and herbs fiddle sticks. Guess what our two years old son just love it so much. We have to hide them so he wont finish all at once. Only for snack time . Jayden will just come home from daycare asking for snacks and knowing these are not processed foods mom can give them to him with mind at ease. Jayden love them so much . He was not feeling well and not eating much but he would say no to the snack and we could at least make sure he is eating light . We already bought more at the supermarkets so jayden can have his healthy snacks after child care. 😇 The packaging is convenience and we could even bring them to park and share with other kids at the park
We were really excited to be able to try out the Little Bellies range with our 19months old and she loved all of what she tried.
The Organic Apricot, Date & Oat bars were a favourite – they appear like little bars of a chocolate block, easy for her to hold, great for being able to break into smaller piece sizes for snacks or easier eating for younger ones but she loved it, I think she thought it was like mums sneaky chocolate treat and she devoured them, definitely something I will buy for a snack and really handy to have on the go. The dates give a sweetness so you have the benefit of no added sugar mixed with a healthy balance for the belly while still tasty.
The Organic Cheese & Herb Fiddlesticks are a great size, though ours were just ‘cheese’ sticks, despite that they’re easy for little ones to eat, kind of just dissolving in the mouth and a good snack size portion.
Finally the Organic Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts, these were great for my girl, she loved them as a little treat and seemed to enjoy the texture, they’re quite a big sized yoghurt drop and dissolve well, great little snack to have and found them the perfect size to add to our spinning snack boxes. They do get very soft if not sealed correctly so recommend letting them gobble them up quickly.
We received the Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts, Banana, Date & Oat Bars, and Herb & Cheese Fiddlesticks to try.
My child loved these products! She enjoyed & finished all of them. This is unusual, as she’s quite particular about new foods, textures and snacks! Her favourite item was the Yoghurt Melts. All items were great in her lunch box, and the cute packaging of the banana, date & oat bars was commented on by some other Mums.
I tasted all the items too, and they were absolutely delicious! Not too sweet or salty.
I’d definitely buy these products again.
My son (15 months) received Tomato Fiddlesticks, Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts and Banana Date & Oat Bars. These are all great and convenient snack options for busy weekends and on the go snacks. He really enjoyed the Fiddlesticks, both flavour and texture which was expected as he likes the rest of the range. He did not like the banana and date oat bars, he has had these before and each time offered, he will either not touch or bite and spit out, I believe it is the texture he does not like. At first he wasn’t sure about the yoghurt melts, he licked and spat out the first time offered but when offered another day he ate them happily. I would purchase the products he liked and recommend to other Mum’s looking for convenient snacks for their little ones.
We recently tried a few Little Bellies snacks with my almost-1-year-old and honestly, they were a hit!
We received:
Organic Baby Snack Bars – Apricot, Date & Oat
Organic Cheese & Herb Fiddlesticks
Organic Yoghurt Melts – Blueberry & Apple
My daughter is one and in that stage where she wants to feed herself and try everything. These snacks fit in really well with her food journey because they’re easy to hold, encourage independence, and gave her a chance to explore different flavours and textures.
Her reaction:
She was excited as soon as I opened the packets and happily tried all three products.
Favourite:
Definitely the Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts! She absolutely loved them and kept reaching for more.
What I thought as a mum:
Taste: Not overly sweet, which I really appreciated.
Texture: Age-appropriate and easy for little ones to manage.
Packaging: Bright, cute, and easy to throw in the nappy bag.
Convenience: Great for outings, car rides, or quick snacks at home.
Would I buy them again?
Yes, absolutely. The yoghurt melts will definitely be added to our regular snack rotation.
Would I recommend them to other mums?
100%. If you’re looking for convenient, toddler-friendly snacks made with organic ingredients, these are definitely worth trying. It’s always a win when a snack is both easy for parents and loved by the little ones! 😊
My toddler loved the yoghurt drops and kept asking for more. He was a little skeptical of the texture of the oat bars but enjoyed them once he started eating. Loves chippies so ate all the fiddlesticks as expected 🙂
We were so lucky to be chosen to try these yumm snacks. We got to try Organic Cheese & Herb Fiddlesticks
Organic Apricot Date & Oat Bars
Organic Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts
Miss 2 was so excited to try them all, we took one apricot date bar to enjoy in the car on the way to her physio appointment. This was her first time trying this bar and she through it was chocolate bar at first which was pretty funny, she took her first bite and said oh mum this is yummies and then asked for more. On the car ride home she got to enjoy her blueberry and apple melts which she smashed in seconds, she really enjoyed these and we have already punched more as she keeps asking for them. Then the following day we went to do our weekley food shop with her cousin and she got to try out the Cheese and Herb Fiddlesticks which were also a hit and she shared a few sticks with her cousin who enjoyed them too. Overall these are a great on the go snacks and we will/have punched more and have recommended them to friends and family with children in the age range. 🙂
Organic Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts Organic Tomato Fiddlesticks Organic Banana Date & Oat Bars.
My daughter is 13 months she often has an afternoon snack after daycare, these products have made it so much easier and she loves them. She was hesitant at the start with the yoghurt melts but once she got the taste she devoured them, the date bars i thought may have been a little to hard for her to chew with only having 4 teeth but nope she ate them so easily and even demanded a second one however Her favorite by far is the tomato fiddlesticks she will happily eat as many as she can. Our little girl can be super fussy with new tastes and products but she toke to these so easy enjoying each snack. The packaging was great on the yoghurt melts in the fact that it could be resealed, I love this option, the fiddlestick would be great if they also has the resealable packaging but then there wasn’t any left after our girl had taken to them. The bars were perfectly wrapped individually making it a easy snack to pop in the bag an have on the go if needed. We will definitely be purchasing all these products again our girl loves them and they make a super easy snack on the go. I would definitely recommend all 3 products to other bubs, for those mums who have fussy eaters like my girl im sure they will take to them easily and love them just as much as she did.
We were lucky enough to receive the Little Bellies toddlers in training range – banana and oat date bars, tomato fiddlesticks, blueberry and apple yoghurt melts. The variety of the snacks are very fitting for our 16 month old son who is always on the go and prefers to have a snack in hand on his adventures.
The banana and oat date bars were packaged beautifully and easy to open while out walking the dog. The perfect size for his little hands and soft enough for his teeth and gums to get through. He loves bananas, oats, and dates, so mixing these all together into the perfect size snack bar was going to be a huge hit from the get go! Once we opened the packet his little legs kicked away in excitement! He enjoyed breaking them apart into their squared sections and nibbling away as he went about his day. This is one of the first snacks that have slowed him down and taken some time to eat – huge win!
The tomato fiddlesticks were by far his favourite, the crunch, the flavour, the size, 5 star rating from the toddler! He was excited to try a new snack that again, could fit in his hand. The size and flavour of the fiddlesticks is perfect for an on the go snack, and introduction of new flavours. We noticed when he was teething these were a great snack that he enjoyed to eat. They melted in his mouth, but also provided him comfort when his gums were sore and swollen. He loves the idea of reaching into the small bag to get his own snacks. As parents of an on the go toddler, having a resealable option for the fiddlesticks (like the yoghurt drops) would be really handy for the times he doesn’t finish them all in one sitting.
The blueberry and apple yoghurt melts were exciting with their bright colour, however our toddler was rather unsure of the texture. We have had other yoghurt melts in the past and he has loved them, especially the way they melted so quickly in his mouth which made it easier for him to eat and enjoy. Once it had softened and he nibbled his way through the melt, he quite enjoyed his sweet treat. We absolutely loved that we could reseal the bag and keep the freshness for longer. Another great easy snack to grab on the go!
These are all snacks we will definitely purchase in the future, they are an easy snack for his lunchbox and when we are on the go.. especially when he doesn’t want to stop! Although the yoghurt drops weren’t a top favourite this time, it was still an enjoyable snack that we will continue to offer as he gets older. We would definitely recommend these snacks to our friends with toddlers, busy or not – they’re tasty, easy, cute and convenient packaging, and a healthy snack!
We were lucky enough to sample 3 of the Little Bellies products. We got to try the Blueberry and Apple yoghurt melts, apricot date & oat bars and the cheese and herb fiddlesticks. My 15 month old loves them all!! His most favourite would have to be the yoghurt melts, easy and fun for him to pick up and shove in his mouth, and I had to fight my other 2 older kids off them as they wanted to steal them from him. Next favourite is the apricot date & oat bars, I loved the connivence of these as easy to just have one always in your bag as an emergency snack for on the go. Took him a bit to eat too so that was great as kept him entertained for awhile. The fiddlesticks are also a great snack option.
Packaging is lovely too and price point good. We love Little Bellies and will definitely be buying these again and recommending to friends.
We absolutely love these products .
My Son loves the banana date and oat bars and the tomato fiddlesticks.
Such easy products for on the go , preschool lunches and snack times.
I was a lucky winner given the chance to try the little bellies toddlers in training range. The tomato fiddlesticks were the first to be tried and went down a treat. All of these items were conveniently packaged and the date bars were probably the easiest to chuck a bar in my pocket to take for emergency snacks due to the size and great that there are a few bars in a box, also being the perfect size for little hands. Yoghurt melts were eaten in the pram, so another great snack on the go. All of these were enjoyed and seemed easy to eat with more texture but still safe for those still early on their food journey
My 14-month-old son loved trying the Little Bellies Toddlers in Training range, especially the Apricot Date & Oat Bars, which were definitely his favourite! He also enjoyed the Blueberry & Apple Yogurt Melts and Cheese & Herb Fiddlesticks.
I loved the packaging with its really cute designs, and the snacks were so convenient for lunch boxes and taking on the go. It was great for my son to try some new textures and flavours, and the snacks were easy for his little hands to hold while encouraging independent eating.
As a parent, I appreciated the organic ingredients and toddler-friendly flavours. Overall, a great range of healthy, convenient snacks that I would happily purchase again and recommend to other parents.
Um ok wow! Our little taste tester (& myself hehe) has tried 3 new flavours!
1 – banana, date & oat bars! These are her favourite ones! They surprised me when I opened them up! They are dense, not too sticky to touch, so doesn’t make a mess in her hands! Good size for my 1yo as a snack while dinner is cooking.
2 – blueberry & apple yoghurt melts. I love the taste & texture of these myself! & putting a few in my girls snack box is such a great filler! I didn’t realise they were freeze dried! So very exciting & interesting texture for her to try!
3 – tomato fiddlesticks. Doesn’t matter what flavour these are,
Fiddlesticks will always be a staple in our home. easy for them to hold. Just love having all these fun flavours for our little one to explore!
Start by saying ive had to hide the Yoget melts from my partner!
My sons 14 months Hasn’t quite got the gist of the ORGANIC
BLUEBERRY & APPLE YOGHURT MELTS – but they are biteable
Absolutely demolished the ORGANIC BANANA DATE & OAT BARS he kept bringing the box upto me an saying “mum yum” ofc I had to give in knowing there make of organic ingredients
ORGANIC TOMATO FIDDLESTICKS
– love love love perfect for on the go!
Delighted to be selected to try the Little Bellies Toddlers in Training 12+ month range. My boy got the Blueberry Apple Yoghurt Melts: fun size and good to pop in a snack box or top of water bottle, have a crunch to them, great way to introduce inulin and a freeze dried yoghurt culture. The packaging is a soft paper so thought has gone in to environmental impacts. We enjoyed that the snacks were wrapped in a pretty paper with the bear/ penguin sticker.
the Date and Apricot Bars: was excited to try; good shape and size for little hands. Ate half of the first bar- new texture and ingredients being the oats for my wee man, but he ate the whole thing on a second go. Gorgeous wrap on these bars- pretty animals and patterns. Great for popping on an outing or into a lunchbox as a healthy no additives option.
Cheese and herb Fiddlesticks. These are a winner! I would say these were his favourite. Loved them and wanted more. Nice with a few shredded pieces of cheese. Small enough for little fingers and enough in the packet for multiple snack times.
it is nice to be able to try a wider range of little bellies for an older toddler. These fit into my toddlers food journey as he was diagnosed with moderate severity cows milk protein allergy when three months old and we have been on a journey with advice from a dietician to reintroduce dairy foods as well as gluten and wheat over the last year. When there were more restrictions on his diet, little bellies had options that fit his needs such as the banana sticks and the puffs so he didn’t miss out on fun snacks. Will definitely buy again and recommend to others. It’s important to support a company and brand which cares about nutritional health and dietary requirements.
Thanks again for choosing us!
Our 2 year old received little bellies 12months + snacks she got the blueberry and apple yoghurt melts tomato fiddle sticks and the banana date and oat bars for our wee girl who is very high functioning very busy and will only snack these were great and she actually ate them lots of things she will just have a bite an not finish she picks but all of these were an absolute hit I highly recommend an will be purchasing myself
We were lucky enough to trial some of the little bellies range! We tried the cheese and herb fiddle sticks, blueberry & apple yoghurt melts and the apricot date and oat bars.
These did NOT last long in our household!!! As soon as we got the package, it was open and my taste tester son (19mo) was straight into it. We’ve tried the fiddlesticks before, and I love them for the convenience of grabbing something quick to go when we’re in a rush, and they’re great as a healthier alternative to chips.
The yoghurt melts were a household fave, all of us tried them and they were sooo yum. The texture is great, and the size of them was great for little fingers. I also loved that the packet came resealable, this is so handy when you want just a couple to add to the plate and save the rest. These were definitely my son’s favourite.
The bars surprised us – I was expecting a very oaty bar, but it was actually more of a puréed smooth texture! These also didn’t last long. The packaging on the bars is sooo cute! We loved spotting all the different creatures on the packet.
All in all, we all loved the little bellies snacks. They’re super handy for a healthy alternative to other snacks in the supermarkets, and very convenient which we love as we’re a busy household, so having something on standby for an easy grab and go snack is amazing, especially without the added guilt of other unhealthier options.
I received yummy organic date and oat bars, blueberry and apple yoghurt melts and tomato fiddlesticks. My toddler loves each one of these products, my daughter is 1 year and 5 months old and she is a busy little girl so having snacks that are organic to give her energy and knowing they are made with healthy ingredients gives me piece of mind and my daughter loves to snack especially with different textures. The packaging is super cute and not over done, my daughter’s favourite snack out of these 3 are the date and oat bars. I definitely recommend these products and will be buying more in the future because this was my daughter’s first time trying these yummy organic snacks! Love love love little bellies baby/toddler snacks.
Thank you Kidspot NZ for giving us the opportunity to trial these Little Bellies products.
My little Arabella is 2 years old and loves exploring new flavors and textures.
We recieved the following:
-Organic Apricot, date and oat bars
-Organic Cheese and herb fiddlesticks
-Organic Blueberry and apple yogurt melts
The yogurts melts were her favorite. A solid 10/10 for flavor and texture- Arabella loved the crunch.
The Bars were 10/10 for flavor and portion. Texture was great. These would make excellent lunchbox snacks. Arabella loved the packaging for this one.
The fiddlesticks were a 5/10. Arabella loved the texture and crunch. But unfortunately did not like the flavor.
All were given as snacks in between meals.
Thanks once again for selecting us to try out these goodies 😊
I received the Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts, Banana, Date & Oat Bars, and Tomato Fiddlesticks for my 16-month-old daughter to try.
These snacks fit perfectly into her food journey as convenient options for morning tea, afternoon tea, and when we’re out and about. They’re easy to pack and give her something tasty between meals.
The Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts were definitely a favourite. My daughter loved the flavour combination and happily ate them whenever they were offered. I liked that they melted easily in her mouth and were a great size for little hands to pick up independently.
The Banana, Date & Oat Bars were another success. They had a soft texture that was easy for her to chew, and I found them to be a convenient, less messy snack for on-the-go. She enjoyed the flavour and would happily finish a whole bar.
The Tomato Fiddlesticks were great to have as a savoury option. My daughter enjoyed holding and eating them herself, and I liked that they encouraged independent feeding. They were crunchy without being too hard and kept her occupied during snack time.
Overall, I was impressed with the taste, texture, and convenience of all three products. The packaging was attractive and easy to take out with us. My daughter enjoyed every product we tried, with the Blueberry & Apple Yoghurt Melts being her overall favourite.
I would purchase these products again in the future and would definitely recommend them to other parents looking for convenient, toddler-friendly snacks.
