WOAH! The Ultimate Snack HACK!

Is this Australia’s smartest Mum? - by Eliza Scanlan
  • 10 Jul 2019

Kids can have huge appetites, especially during growth spurts. But having a household of 5 children, well that’s another story entirely!

Staying organised and on top of the family schedule can be stressful and time consuming.

We’ve seen some awesome hacks and organisation tips but this is just next level!

WOAH! The Ultimate Snack HACK!

Enter clever Mum of 5 Naomi Mee, creator of the Ultimate Snack Hack!

Naomi has shared on a Facebook page just what it takes to keep her tribe full and healthy with a mountain of portioned and packaged snacks.

Naomi shares: “I’ve been doing this for the past few weeks and it’s been working fantastic! (should have done it ages ago) Every day snacks covered. I’ve got 5 kids. Some home educate and some are at school - works great for all!”

Followers were amazed at her organisational skills but were also intrigued with just how Naomi can afford so many avocados!

“There's a house deposit sitting in the front half of your fruit bowl” said one.

“Yep save all ur avocado money and save a deposit in 625 yrs of 10 grand….” Added another.

Naomi revealed her budget buster tip was buying ‘The Odd Bunch’ bags of avocados from Woolworths to save money whist still enjoying the healthy fruit.

Busy Mum Naomi also adds: “I replenish the fruit and fridge box half way through the week. The pantry snack box lasts all week #win (All snack vary from week to week. Muffins are normally individually wrapped & frozen and boiled eggs/yogurt are a regular too)”

Naomi keeps the snacks balanced with an abundance of fruit.

Naomi is also careful to limit the amount of snacks each member of the family is able to consume.

“I portion out all the days snacks into lunch boxes for the 3 younger kids .. and the older two have free reign apart from only 1 fruit pot a day & 3 carb choices. They are pretty good with food choices.”

Not only is Naomi a super organised Mum of 5, she also runs her own business with her husband as a marriage therapist!

We take our hat off to you!
