Supa Secrets Snack Bar Review

by 1 Comment

Packing your child a healthy lunch he or she will likely eat feels more challenging than ever before!  The key is to communicate with your child about their dietary likes and dislikes. Sending them off to school with a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and with enough healthy “treats,” will ensure lunchbox success

Sharon Thurins ( Founder  ) launch of the Slim Secrets range in 2006 has been a success beyond her lofty expectations.  Available nationally in supermarkets, Boost Juice venues, health food stores, health clubs including Fitness First venues and now exported globally – with 3 product ranges (chips, bars and cookies),  another 5 brand extensions are planned in the next 12 months.

Milkk PR proudly introduce the first, SUPA SECRETS!

SUPA SECRETS provide better nutritionally balanced snacks for kids that taste great and is a fun brand like the Slim Secrets range. Whilst Sharon still believes that snacks such as fruit, vegetables or similar are a better alternative for kids we know that they will not always satisfy their cravings.

SUPA SECRETS take great care in creating snacks to give kids fantastic tasting food with the right kind of nutrition they need for their growing, active bodies. Both ranges fall within the Healthy Kids amber category which is approved for canteens.

SUPA SECRETS SNACK BARS – Snack bars  available in 2 flavours  “Ballistic Berry” & ” Wicked Choc” that not only taste awesome, but have under 115 calories per bar, no artificial flavours or colours, are a good source of omega 3’s, are low in sodium and contain one of my favourite ingredients Chia seeds!!!!! Did I mention they are made with goodness of wholegrain oats?

Thanks to Shereen Kiddle of Milkk PR I was invited to attend the “Official Launch” of Supa Secrets unable to attend at the very last minute I was still lucky enough to be able to try the  “Wicked Chocolate Super Wired Chewy Snack Bar “ ( Thanks Shereen )  3 words ……. YUM ….. YUM.….YUM!!!!! Low Calorie Chocolate Heaven, this bar has it’s sweetness factor SPOT ON. Like a chocolate muesli bar with hues of coconut minus the boring factor of a muesli bar. The perfect size snack wise with a matching calorie intake. 114 calories to be more precise, 3.4 grams of fat, 85mg of Omega 3’s that is 1/3 of a childs daily intake , 19.4 grams of carbs with only 5grams of those being sugar. 1.6 grams of fibre. With a  $RRP of $1.50 each I would be happy to give these to my boys as a snack, I am pretty sure you don’t get great statistics like those above in a “chocolate bar”

Grinch Gunk Bath Slime – A Silly, Skin-Safe Christmas Soak for Kids

There’s always one cheeky elf who pushes things a little too far—and this time? He’s covered in Grinch Gunk! This fun, fizzy Grinch Gunk Bath Slime is a gooey, giggle-worthy bath treat that looks mischievous but is totally skin-safe. It’s squishy, jiggly, and dissolves into the bath for a silly Christmas soak your kids won’t forget.

Whether you’re staging your Elf on the Shelf’s latest misadventure or putting together a “Grinch Spa Kit” for holiday gifting, this bath-safe slime is part sensory play, part bath magic.

 Why You’ll Love This Grinchy Goo

  • Safe and fun for kids 
  • No harsh ingredients—just skin-loving gentle goo 
  • Doubles as sensory play before bath time 
  • Can be poured into the bath like a bath gel 
  • Perfect for Elf on the Shelf setups or DIY stocking stuffers 
  • Customisable with scent, shimmer, and fun containers 

 Ingredients – Guar Gum Gel Version (Skin-Safe, Natural)

Makes about 1 cup of Grinch Gunk

  • 1 cup warm distilled water 
  • 1 tsp guar gum powder (natural thickener) 
  • 1 tbsp glycerin or aloe vera gel (skin soothing + slip) 
  • 5–10 drops peppermint essential oil (or vanilla-mint blend) 
  • Green mica powder or food-safe soap colorant 
  • 1 tsp baking soda (optional, helps soothe skin) 
  • Small jar or squishy tub container 

Optional:

  • A pinch of eco-safe glitter 
  • Mini plastic Grinch or Elf toy 
  • Printable “Help! The Grinch Got Me!” tag 

 Melt-and-Pour Version (For Squishy Soap-Like Texture)

  • ½ cup clear melt-and-pour soap base, chopped 
  • 1 tbsp vegetable glycerin 
  • Green soap colorant or mica 
  • 5 drops peppermint essential oil 
  • Heat-safe jar or silicone mold 

 How to Make – Guar Gum Version

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and glycerin. 
  2. Slowly sprinkle in the guar gum powder, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. 
  3. Add baking soda, essential oils, and green mica. Whisk again until smooth and gooey. 
  4. Add glitter or shimmer if using. Pour into small jars. 
  5. Let sit uncovered for 10–15 minutes before sealing. 

 How to Make – Melt & Pour Version

  1. Gently melt soap base in microwave or double boiler until fully liquid. 
  2. Stir in glycerin, mica, and essential oils. 
  3. Pour into jar or mold and allow to cool and firm up. The result: a jiggly, jello-like slab of bath slime! 

 How to Use Grinch Bath Slime

  • Scoop a tablespoon or two into the tub as the water runs 
  • Rub between hands for silly slime play before rinsing 
  • Watch it dissolve into a silky, minty soak 
  • Store leftovers sealed, out of sunlight, for 1–2 weeks (guar gum version) 

Note: As with all kids’ bath products, adult supervision is recommended. Avoid eyes and mouth.

 Elf on the Shelf Setup

Here’s how to make your elf’s Grinch-y mischief come to life:

  • Place your Elf in a clear jar of green slime 
  • Add a sign that says:
     “HELP! The Grinch Got Me!” 
  • Scatter a few green drops or slime trails around the counter 
  • Leave behind a note that says:
     “I tried to sneak a treat, but the Grinch left me stuck in goo! Scoop some into your bath—if you dare!” 

 Gifting Tips

Grinch Gunk makes an adorable DIY gift for:

  • Christmas Eve boxes 
  • Classmate gifts 
  • Stocking stuffers

Packaging ideas:
