Up & Go was launched in Australia by local food group Sanitarium in 1998 and is credited with kick-starting the breakfast drink category.

Sanitarium has since seen rival companies, including Kellogg and Australian dairy group Murray Goulburn, enter the Australian market for breakfast drinks.

The drinks have also appeared in the UK and the US in recent years as companies try to meet demand for more convenient breakfast options.

In the UK, SMEs Lacka Foods and Fresh Marketing have breakfast drinks on sale and were joined last year by Weetabix, which launched its On The Go product.
