Things that you can just grab and go with no preparation. Our's at the moment are breadsticks, rice cakes and dried apricots, but looking for inspiration!

Bananas
Babybel cheese
banana muffins - make a batch up with half the recommended sugar when you have a load of overripe bananas, and freeze. On your way out, grab a frozen muffin. Will defrost in time to eat a couple of hours later (well, in the summer!)
Yoghurt covered rasins (if old enough)
Other dried fruit - I loved apples and pears as a child.

Dried apples and pears are ace.
You can also get loads of other dried fruits - LO like cherries and sultanas.

Goodies cereal bars
Raisins
Cheese strips or babybell - put in cooler part of bag next to water bottle normally so as not to melt or get too warm.
Individual packaged biscuits - these are a real treat and used when going somewhere I need DS quiet or well behaved
Satsuma or mandarin

Not really thought about the sugar content, but yes, they probably are fairly high in the sugar levels!

It's not quite like giving Haribo though, dried fruit and yoghurt at least has some nutrients in, Haribo doesn't apart from boiled horse. I always feel like sugar, and to a certain extent salt, gets traded against the benefits of what they are eating.

Also malt loaf - you can get the banana one wrapped in individual bars. Yum and lactose free (last time I checked!).

Oh and rice cakes when they were under a year. Now she's that bit older I think she deserves something that doesn't taste like packing material :)
