Organix apple or blueberry rice cakes, from Boots or Asda, think Sainsburies does them too.
Also these amazing roasted chickpeas you can get from holland and barrett as a snack.
Dried apple crisps, also from Holland and barrett.
Vegetable crisps from Lidl. 128 cal per quarter bag. Very tasty.
Walls Solero -sugar, yes, but 90 cal for an ice cream bar.
Mooyoo frozen yoghurt. Sold Asda and Sainsburies, different flavours, ok as a treat for dessert. 150 cals.
Nakd bars are great, only made from natural ingredients, mainly dried fruit. Available most places.

I'm an addict of Japanese food - seaweed tempura is my current fave, but I have to order this online and pay delivery charges

Twiglets are good - wholewheat and low cals

i was tempted by wasabi peanuts but i have a pepper love lol so got salt n pepper instead, dried blueberries looked good but couldnt get a small bag to try!

I like wasabi peas. Also, and I can't remember the brand name, but I used to get it at my local health food store, but they're freeze-dried fruits and veggies. Sounds weird, but there's nothing added to them, and they're crunchy and really good. I used to get the peas and the corn.

Seed stacked bars from Asda - they're usually in a small nut/seed stand near the fruit & veg. They're made with loads of seeds and honey, and topped with carob, yoghurt, or just plain.

Of the generic stuff, I love all kinds of seeds, almonds, pistachios, macadamia nuts, pecans, hazelnuts, dried apricots... Pine nuts are nice, especially if you toast them and put them with couscous or on salads.

Have you tried Graze boxes (graze.com)? They send you a box in the post every week or fortnight with four punnets of snacks, for £3.95 a box. You can get a free one with a code (XC2FCYC should work) and cancel straight after if you want. I've had a few and the snacks have been really yummy, and they have all the nutritional info on them too.

For a chocolate fix, I love Mikados because they are 11 cals each, so they're very handy for making up a certain number of calories at the end of the day. They have hazelnut and daim (caramel) versions now too.

I second the Nakd bars. Totally delicious and amazingly healthy ingredients. My favourite flavours are Pecan Pie (52% dates, 28% pecans, 20% almonds) and Ginger Bread (48% dates, 32% almonds, 18% pecans, plus ginger, cloves and cinnamon).

Also, have you tried Urban Fruit? They do dried strawberries that are to die for. Usually on special offer in Tesco.

Edit- whoever said Twiglets- genius! Forgot how much I love them...
