What’s a good low-fat vegan snack food?

GVG asked:
I’m on a low sugar, low-fat, vegan diet and I want to find a snack food that I can carry around with me, eat while working, use to replace breakfast when I’m in a hurry. I used to eat cashews, but they have too much fat. Before I was aware of my blood-sugar issues, I ate jelly beans. Popcorn is to fluffy to work for me; is there any other non-messy food that I haven’t ruled out yet?

Soy yogurt, soy cheese. But if you’re doing low fat, low sugar, also consider celery and some root vegetables (like jicama, but beware of starch).
thing is ,if you’re doing low fat, low sugar AND vegan, you run a serious risk of not getting enough nutrition at all. not that you have to go with high fats and sugars, I’m just saying you need to be careful.
btw, jelly beans contain gelatin. they are NOT vegan.
also, carrots and apples have high percentages of sugar. bananas have both starch and sugar.
This site has some delicious recipes and ideas.
If you’re not low-budget, try Just Fruit and/or Just Veggies (for info see). Found at natural food stores and some regular grocery stores (fruit more often than veggies) - they’re dried and the ingredients are literally whatever fruit/veggies they’re named (Just Strawberries, etc.) But they’re not cheap.
Yes there are all kinds of snacks…All Bran snack bites.I like the brown sugar cinnamon ones.Then there are Special K bars. Look where the cereals are and there are all kinds of different breakfast snack bars to try.Plus peanuts,bananas,apples,and any other kind of fruit. Raisins,fruit bars and the list goes on…Oh he just made me think of crackers…Cheese crackers are great.. hahahahahaha Spicy cheese ones are what I like, I like spicy,hehehe
