Seaweed snacks. You can roast your own.

Pickled snap peas are a good snack if you like pickled/vinegary tastes

Make your own gorp.

Nuts (eg walnuts, peanuts, cashews)
Dried fruit (eg raisins)
Seeds (eg sunflower)
A few chocolate chips or M&Ms (I am partial to the Trader Joe’s dark chocolate chips)

I put them in a small Rubbermaid like container. It doesn’t work as well, but instead of raisins I put in a few dried apricots. Some used ziplock like bags.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches make excellent snacks on a road trip or a hike.

If carrots are a no go- sugar snap peas or radishes might work.

An apple, pear, nectarine or in season, a clementine all come with no prep needed. Blueberries, grapes, or strawberries need a little prep

Since it’s mostly plants, you can have a snack that is a cheese stick or mini Babybel AND cut up veggies.

You mean air popping it? I assume making it with oil on the stuff isn’t very low calorie.

I love popcorn with the dill pickle seasoning.

Frozen mango chunks from Trader Joe. Lightly defrosted
Perhaps other frozen fruits, too.

Roast broccoli florets
Roast sliced red peppers
Make gazpacho.

I'm a vegetarian and am half made of nuts and cheese sticks.

Right. Everyone knows carrot sticks are a plant based snack.
