Some examples:
- A banana with peanut butter.
- An orange and some cashews.
- Carrot sticks and almonds.
- Two rice cakes and a protein shake.
- An apple and some cottage cheese.
- Yogurt and unsalted beef jerky.
- Crackers with low-fat cream cheese.
- Celery sticks with peanut butter.
- Carrot sticks with trail mix.
- Fruit salad and a glass of milk.

etc.
Your examples are okay, but your advice isn't. Fat and protein is what you want, not carbs. That is indicated by many of your better examples... Anything with nuts is good, because of the high fat content.
