The best choice as a snack are fresh fruits.
Chocolate is not a raw food, but it can be taken as an exception from the rule. Get chocolate with a high content of cocoa. You can find chocolate with 90% and 98% cocoa.
Choose fruit from your area first and add exotic fruit from time to time. Think that the transportation of fruit from other parts of the world does pollute the environment.
In winter dried fruits and nuts can be added.
Examples for dried fruits: Figs, dates, apricots, apple slices, strawberies, mango slices, papaya slices. Try to get air dried fruits. Read the label to make sure that no chemicals were used for the drying process. You can also dry fruits yourself. Be careful as in dried fruits not only nutrients are compressed, but also calories. You must not be afraid of the fat in nuts. The fat in nusts is healthy and important. Have several different nuts at home and always buy different kinds as in each kind of nut you will find other important nutrients.
Mix nuts, dried fruit and pieces of chocolate and serve in a glass-bowl.
If you do not enjoy sweets you can eat vegetables as a snack. Cut them into finger-bite size and put them into a plastic container or bag. 
Carrots, green, red or yellow pepper, cabbage, red beet, cauliflower are good examples. You can also have a raw egg as a snack. In case you take it with you, have it in a well closed plastic container and have the salt in an extra dry container or bag as the salt might get wet (salt soaks up moisture from the air).
Instead of buying nut-chocolate, put some nuts on an aluminium foil, put pieces of chocolate with 90-98% cocoa content on top of the nuts. Put it into the oven until the chocolate melts (3 to 4 minutes), take it out and put it into the refrigerator. See the video about making nut-chocolate (scroll down). The same you can do with all kinds of fruit or pieces of fruit, which also makes a beautiful dessert. Or cut a date in length, take out the kernel, replace it with a piece of chocolate and put it into the oven for 3 minutes. You can eat the date with the melted chocolate or wait until the chocolate got firm. It is very good for children as the nutrients of dried fruits and nuts are good for the brain and they give energy, which is needed in winter.
