Anything with lean protein is always your first choice. If you can - lowfat cottage cheese, cheese; veggies with peanut/almond butter; fruit (apples, primarily); whole grain crackers; protein bars if they are not soy-based and high in sugar; nuts (although they are high in calories and fat, they will add fiber and so many other nutrients - excellent choice if you don't overdue it.) .

I agree with Tina's answer, but to add more specifics try light cheese sticks - they are portable and easy to keep cool in an insulated lunch box with an ice pack. Tuna in foil pouches are sold in grocery stores and are another easy open option. Try Starkist tuna creations - portable, tasty, low calorie, lowfat, and high in protein. Apples, pears, bananas - all easy to transport and consume. Make your own trail mix with peanuts and raisins. Lastly, hard boiled eggs are terrific; greek yogurt topped with nuts; and Nature Valley granola bars, oats and honey, are some of my favorites.

I do not recommend eating snacks. Most snacks tend to be unhealthy, due to their connivence factor they are usually, processed, and loaded with ingredients that are not pertinent to health.
SOLUTION:
Eat Meals. Take how every many meals you eat and split them up to accommodate your hunger throughout the day. Therefore, if you eat 3 meals, create smaller meals and use 4, or take 5 and make even smaller. This will provide satiety you need throughout the day and be a MUCH better alternative to snacks.
Hope this helps!

Most people get hungry in the afternoon and an afternoon snack is a good strategy to stave off hunger and keep from overeating at dinner. A healthy snack should contain a lean protein, some complex carbohydrates and even a healthy fat. Good choices would be nonfat yogurt with a fresh fruit, hummus with whole grain pita, apple with peanut butter, dried fruit with unsalted nuts, pretzels with string cheese or low-fat chocolate milk with crackers or fig newtons (whole wheat).
Depending on how hungry you are, even half a turkey sandwich with avocado or half a PB & J would be good.
Eating a healthy snack in the afternoon can help you get over the afternoon slump, keeps your blood sugar stable and helps you concentrate better.

The snack truly depends on what your activity levels are throughout the day. Not all snacking is created equal, big smile. Your current body weight, activity levels, fitness goals and health status have a lot to due with the choices you'll make in the snacking department of life. All the answers have some great snack suggestions however, the main thing is none of us truly know your goals and what you're trying to achieve for your definition of optimal well-being. One can never go too wrong with an apple or hard boiled egg or small dose of good nuts ( walnuts, almonds) etc. My fav is 1/2 of PB&J on good whole wheat bread. Good luck!

Pepitas (pumpkin seed kernels) come roasted and salted or wasabi covered. Sunflower kernels, honey roasted cashews. I found some affordable almond butter at Walmart (Maranatha brand) it is a nice change from peanut butter you can put it on a banana or on natural bread with 100% fruit preserves(no sugar sweetened with juice).

Almonds, yogurt, strawberries, protein bar are some common snacks I use. I NEVER buy anything from vending machines.

A lot depends on your specific dietary needs (e.g. do you have any special dietary requirements, do's and don'ts), and availability. Personally, I like to take things with me when I'm working so that I can control both quantity and quality. Bananas, other fruit like apples, nuts, peanut butter and crackers, low fat cheese are all things that I like 'snacking' on while working.

You may be getting hungry because your blood sugar is low
Think about more fuel at lunch: and be prepared for the late afternoon slump by incorporating protein at that time:
Water is also essential.

Carrots, an apple, a banana, a high carb-low fat muffin. I am an advocate of frequent smaller meals vs. two or three big meals. It helps maintain a more stable blood glucose. And I agree with Susan, plenty of water, not coffee or colas with caffeine, since they are diuretics.
Take care.
