need new snack ideas

i don't like prepackaged type snacks.

im looking for real food snacks.

to give you an idea of what I usually eat on a good day:

morning: egg whites, sometimes a lara bar

lunch: chicken, avocado, tomato and some melon

afternoon snack: this is where I struggle. i'll have a hard boiled egg or almond butter on a rice cake or both depending on timing

post workout: greek yogurt and blueberry smoothie

dinner: chicken or turkey with 2 veggies, sometimes quinoa

I struggle with the afternoon. any other ideas besides fruit? I don't want to eat too much sugar

nuts
hard boiled egg
veggies with hummus
fruit
smoothie
lara bars (have very few ingredients)
apples with almond butter
dates
homemade popcorn

you can always make your own things like powerballs, banana bread, pumpkin bread, muffins, etc. too

also the foods can be whatever you want really. you can do some grilled chicken strips, crustless quiche, etc. for snack just in a smaller size than for a meal.

Lately I'm loving the little grape tomatoes dipped in a little light ranch dressing
