I am a college student, new to raw. I've been dabbling for a while - but am plugging away at being full-raw soon (high raw right now). I was wondering, what are some healthy, inexpensive snacks that will keep me going during the day? It's a little hard to whip out a salad while I'm studying in the library, and I don't like to eat a lot of cheap nuts (peanuts and sunflowers seeds) because weight loss is one of my reasons for rawness (not the top, but one of them). I do eat nuts, but not a lot. Anyway - what do you all do for snacks? I need something packable and satisfying?
Also - I am low in iron. I eat spinach - but what are other ways for a raw vegan to get iron? I used to eat kidney beans when I was vegan. What now?

can i get B12 from flax seeds? the Bs are another set of vitamins I'm a little concerned about. I took a vegan supplement before, but it's not raw.
thanks everyone! these are such great ideas. i am snacking on a banana right now and wishing i had read the post about the gorilla bar before i left home this morning!
i do have nutritional yeast.
also, thinking about buying some bulk seed. i use a ton in smoothies and raw granola (hemp, sunflower, or pumkin, etc) and wondering if any of you know of the best place to order bulk at low cost.
