Snack help/advice please

Tuesday through Friday my father wakes up at ungodly hours to deliver meats, cheeses, and drinks across Central Texas. He does a lot of driving and has to fight to stay awake. The easiest way for him to do this is by eating while he drives and he usually ends up eating chips, chocolate, and little debbie cakes. Basically ALL UNHEALTHY THINGS. Most of the time it's me who has to pack his lunch and I always feel terrible packing these things for him.

So my question is:

What sort of snacks can I pack for my dad that are healthy, easy to eat while driving, and could give him an extra energy boost?

    How about:
    Fresh fruit
    Nuts
    Yoghurt
    Dark chocolate
    Hard boiled eggs
    Bananas
    Popcorn
    Jerky

    Will he actually eat healthy snacks?

    Yes, he'll eat healthy if it is given to him.
    Thank you for your suggestions!

    Cheese sticks
    Raw veggies
    Hummus
    Sandwiches on whole grain bread or wraps

    Judging from his previous choices I'd say he has a sweet tooth. How about raisins and/or dried apricots?
