Up 'n' Go for toddlers/pregnant women

How about buying some sinchies pouches? They have a FB page. They're fairly inexpensive too and reusable! You could then use plain yoghurt and add your own fruit to them or even just buy some plain yoghurt and mix in some puréed apple. The Coles 6 pack has no baddies in it and you would only need a small amount to sweeten or you could sweeten it with a little honey or vanilla bean paste.

Why isn't breakfast an option at daycare? If it's because you arrive after the breakfast offerings are over, then packing breakfast for them to have when they arrive, or to eat in transit is a good option. I don't think the up n go type thing is really enough to get them through until morning tea, TBH - mostly because I've noticed my own kids need more food up front at the start of the day than during the rest of it.

FWIW my DD used to arrive at family daycare at an awkward time, so we developed a routine where I would give her a warm milk drink (low GI) at home/in the car on the way, and then 20-30 min after she got to care, she would sit down and have her actual breakfast. Even when i tried to shovel breakfast into her at home, she wouldnt' eat enough and ended up needing a 2nd breakfast at care anyway (LOL). When we've gone other places first thing, she's always happy to have a picnic breakfast in the car, in which case I try to give her a selection of things like sandwiches, dried or fresh fruit (cut up), small pieces of boxed cereal, cheese cubes, etc - so it's like finger food (bit less messy in the car).

Having said all of that, when I was pregnant I would do the Up and Go thing in the car on mornings sometimes when I was struggling - but always with another portable food like a (dietician-recommended brand) muesli bar or a banana. There's not enough in it to be a good breakfast by itself for a preggy lady.
