hand full of almonds is very filling and good for you, light natural yogurt w/fruit in it, little snack baggie of high fiber but yummy cereal or granola...those are some of the things besides fruits and veggies that I snack on
I would like to hear other suggestions, too

Any raw fruit or vegetable, sans dips. And a couple of WheatThins.

Air popped popcorn
Snap peas
Mini peppers (they sell them at Costco, yummy!)
Cottage cheese w/fruit or tomatoes and cucumbers
Hummus and ak-mak crackers
Light yogurt
Hard boiled egg
1/2 of a small baked potato

Veggies and fruit are much more appealing to me if I cut them up for some reason: apple slices, pear slices, pepper strips (all colors), celery, baby carrots, watermelon chunks, cantaloupe chunks, orange slices, kiwi slices, pineapple chunks, etc... Basically, anything that is a finger food. Grapes and grape tomatoes are good too!

Most everything you could eat as a snack contains some calories. Fresh, whole items like carrots, sweet peppers, cauliflower, green onions, radishes, and, of course, celery all have few calories The most likely source of significant calories is any dip you might use with them. A careful selection for a dip (or best - no dip) will make a filling snack that is healthy and contains few calories.

Fresh fruit like apples, oranges and bananas can be satisfying but contains more calories. Fortunately, they are not usually eaten with any kind of high calorie dip or garnish and usually just a single item makes a suitable snack. Still, they are likely much better than things like nuts, eggs, or most dairy like cheese.

Air popped popcorn is reasonable provided you don't add butter or oil. It is not too bad with just the shake-on flavouring. A relatively small amount of actual corn makes a large amount of popcorn.

gotta run...

Lots of good ideas. I try to think of snacks as mini meals. So a combo protein/fat/carb.I agree about having fruits/veggies cut up or they have snack packs.Cereal is always a healthy snack. I like laughing cow on bread or bagel. I just tried the greek yogurt and am still mixed but for me needs add ins. Soup or oatmeal though summer. I like to freeze yogurt and its like a healthy ice cream and add toppings.Depending if your having a craving for me sometimes it better to have a small piece of it rather then subing.It depends on the intensity. I often try to have something healthy and then have the treat in addition when I'm really not hungry. It just depends. Also depending on your height that may be to thin and you just may be hungry.

I really like to eat pickles for a snack. I don't like much salt on my food, and since I run a lot, I need to find ways to get just a little more salt in my diet. So, pickles (dill, not sweet) are a good, low calorie item. The problem is that they can be loaded with garlic. So, I often pickle them myself. You can also pickle peppers, radishes, carrots, etc. The benefit is that they last a log time, and if you like sour foods, they are great. I also like allbran. Somehow a handful can just take the edge off of a fitfully hungry afternoon. My number one rule is never to open the refrigerator and just stand there. If that happens, I can have a second breakfast or lunch really quickly.

we make our own trail mix:
unsalted peanuts
unsalted sunflower seeds
dried bananas
craisins
raisins
and occasionally yogart covered raisins or another dried fruit to spice it up

I also like:
peanut butter on bread
sliced veggies (no dip)
fruit
peanut butter filled pretzels
cereal

I think you have to be careful with what you are looking for in terms of healthy... I do not necessarily worry about calories in a healthy snack... for example some people might scoff at my "healthy" peanut butter snacks however, as a vegetarian peanut butter is good. It helps ensure I get some fat and protein in my snacks.
