Healthy snacks for DH lunches?

DH usually packs leftovers for his next day's lunch, an apple/string cheese for breakfast, but he's always stumped on what to pack for mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks. He's been eating Frosted Mini Wheats and/or Wheat Thins, but he usually stays hungry. 

Can you recommend other healthy snack ideas?

fwiw, I normally bring cukes/hummus, cherry tomatoes, or yogurt/flaxseed, but he's not keen on any of those.

  • What about trail mix? There are so many different kinds he's bound to find something he'll like. I also do baby carrots and bananas (it's one of the easiest fruits besides apples to eat when you're on the go). Other veggies that can be good raw are peppers, broccoli, and celery. A small wrap could be good too (something like PB and raisins or hummus, tofu, and avocado can be filling).
  • Flavored rice cakes? DH and the kids like the cheese and ranch ones.
