Vegetables
Fully Paleo, vegetables can be eaten in large quantities and they’re among the preferred food in the Paleo diet.

Fruit
Although fruit should be eaten sparingly while you’re on the Paleo diet, a little snack won’t do any harm. A small banana, kiwi, pears, or strawberries can be eaten without any additional ingredients. However, almond butter or honey is often added for more flavor.
Miscellaneous
There are more snacks which can be made by mixing several ingredients like:
Fruit and nut salad: where the flavor of fruit is intensified by the flavor of several types of nuts. Honey can often be added as a natural sweetener.
