Not a terrible snack?

Hi! i was wondering if anyone has suggestions for sort of shelf stable-low maintance snacks.

I'm okay with rice cakes, though they're pretty messy. I also eat raisins and nuts (although they have more calories than I expected). I eat crackers sometimes (also a mess).


My frig isn't great so shelf stable-ish things would be great.
I think that's the weaker link in my health: I mostly eat semi-healthy meals, but I don't really like any easy foods that I haven't already listed above, so I feel like something's missing.

I'd also rather something that doesn't have: brown sugar, honey, pepper, or artificial sweeteners.

By "healthy" I mostly mean low cal and not going to kill me from some weird chemical.

    Fruit - I keep apples and oranges on the side happily for at least a week.
    Although I guess it depends what you consider to be messy.

    Fruit: apples, bananas and oranges are all okay on the counter
    Fruit cups , applesauce cups or the applesauce squeeze packets
    Pretzels, pretzel thins

    If you have a microwave, a packet of oatmeal or grits (my love).
    Larabars have just a few ingredients and they are words you will recognize like “apple, dates, fig, cherry , etc” They are about 200 calories a piece and very dense so you may or may not care for the texture
