    Keep in mind that dried fruit often has added sugar, and that's on top of the sugar already in the fruit, meaning it really isn't all that healthy. You're better off eating the fruit in its original state. I like snacking on pistachios and string cheese as well.

    I love Plamil carob bar as an alternative to chocolate sometimes, it melts slower in your mouth but still creamy and chocolatey, also Lotus caramelised biscuits, they're delish tho a bit expensive - have seen you can also buy them in a pack where they're pre-wrapped in two's so you can grab a pack and go.

    Cashew nuts and homemade breadsticks with various coatings (pizza dough recipe) are my favourite snacks but I also make cheese straws and cinnamon bread and butter pudding and banana cake. Pizza rolls are quite portable and tasty and things like this and sosmix "sausage" rolls can be frozen in batches for taking to work. I am also liking melon and grapes sprinkled with cinnamon. :-)

  • Popcorn! It's dirt cheap for a huge packet of kernels, healthy if you don't load on the butter and salt, and it can be popped in advance and left to cool before putting into bags for snacking purposes (don't bag it while warm or it will sweat and go tough). It keeps well for at least a day - I've never had any survive longer than that :)
