HEALTHY SNACKS
ESPECIALLY PORTABLE ONES
SNACKS SHOULD BE...
100-150 calories
Mixed with protein or fat and a few carbs (if not in the weight loss phase)
Or protein
Nuts have a nice mix - and they are high calorie!
Don't eat anything from a vending machine or of a sugar or grain type of selection!

HEALTHY, PORTABLE SNACKS
On this page I am focused mostly on healthy, portable snacks.
In my quick-summary to the point book on losing weight and getting high health the easy and fast way (link to from Books):
Have, especially for travel, bags of almonds and other nuts. If you know that 16 almonds is about 180 calories, then you don't need to segregate them into separate pre-set snack bags. (I will fairly frequently add a 1/6 slice of a low sugar Detour Bar.)
At times, I will use the Premier Protein drink for only 160 calories, but 30 grams of protein and even 3 grams of fiber. (Link to the pdf on "servings by item" from Servings By Item, Plus Observations.)
If not on early stages of a low carb diet, an apple is good, though I eat a half apple and then munch on the other slices over time.
If able to keep things cool: Small tuna salads, pieces of pre-grilled chicken, mini-peppers, hard-boiled egg
If have access to a microwave: Madras Lentils (1 minute) - full pack 240 calories, very healthy and natural.
Access to water or some non-interfering liquid: Powdered protein drink mixes or any powdered "meal replacement" (to be inexpensive enough put a serving into a plastic bag from such as Paleomeal Powder Drink Mix, but admittedly a packet is easier, especially for such as I, MET-Rx, for muscle-builders, 250 cals. I like Labrada Low Carb Lean Body Mix, but you've got to buy a bunch at one time - I found it worthwhile.). (You can, of course, bring the water with you and mix it in the container!)
Pre-prepared
Protein balls: 65 cals, 4 g carbs (1 sugar), 5 g fat, 2 g protein (healthy fat)
Can include protein powder, dark cocoa powder, almond butter to help roll it in, little bit of water, dash of sea salt, shredded coconut (link, but could get broken: Protein Balls.
Cheater
Very rarely: Detour Bar, 170 cals. But I find that a 1/6 cut (or when I splurge 2 of the 1/6 cuts) is enough for me. I will add a cut to a small handful of almonds or to a turkey "handwich" (which is holding 2 slices of turkey, at 60 calories and stuffing them in my mouth).
