I'm not vegan, but one easy snack that I enjoy is vegan and very easy.
1 can black beans
1 can corn
drain both cans - stir in some salsa
This is good in tortillas or with baked chips.

Raw cookies perhaps?
You can make a zillion yummy renditions of them, so experiment!
Try throwing some raw almonds and macadamia nuts in the food processor, run it for a min. or so, add some dates and mabye a little bit of a vanilla pod, run processor again, add a couple of whole dried figs and apricots, run the processor yet again just until the figs and apricots are chopped up. Roll them into little balls and then roll them in some unsweetned coconut flakes and tada! Sounds like more work than it acutally is, it's really just tossing stuff in the food processor. They keep for quite a while. :]

How about a fruit medley on top of raw crust?
Raw cake/pie crust can be made with 2 cups of raw almonds and 2 cups of dates. Chop the almonds and dates really well on a cutting board, knead/mix them together and then press them onto a plate or into either a cake or pie pan. Then you can top it with berries, bananas, kiwi, peaches, apples and grapes.

Nuts
Seeds
Dried Fruits
Soy-based yogurt-I make my own and then add fruits and a bit of maple syrup
Nachos-heaped with beans and salsa and corn...
PB&J (all natural, unsweetened J of course!)

During my days of flirting with going vegan, I would make muffins with applesauce (vs. eggs) and soy milk. You could freeze a batch then let them thaw the night before, maybe. Muffins are great snacks, IMO.
Most of my faves have already been mentioned...GORP, carrots, nuts, apples with peanut butter, soy cheese and toms, fruit salads, smoothies with juice/fruit/ice, bean dips made ahead of time topped with salsa.
My mouth is watering...

*Toasting nuts and seeds makes them amazingly flavorful, and takes basically no effort (just heat them over medium heat in a dry skillet, stirring constantly, until they brown and smell heavenly). My favorite are toasted pumpkin seeds (I sprinkly a little tamari on after removing them from the skillet) and pine nuts. You can also add spices (cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, whatever). Pumpkin seeds, in particular, are nutritional powerhouses.
*Cashew butter and apricot jam on whole wheat bread
*Smoothies! Dump in everything and the kitchen sink
*This may sound crazy, but I really like greens sandwiches: steam some kale, collards, or swiss chard; pile on a piece of crusty sourdough or whole grain bread, and drizzle with a little olive oil
*Another weird but easy dish is kale salad: steam a mess o' kale, and top with a slice banana and toasted sesame seeds (much, much tastier than it sounds)
*Burritos and wraps of every kind are easy...if you have some bean dip (or just some mashed black beans), you can spread it in a tortilla, add some veggies, and roll it up
*Cold cereals, with or without rice/soy/almond milk
*Cold pasta or quinoa salad (takes some prep in advance, but then you can store in the fridge for days)
*Oskri bars--just discovered these at Whole Foods; they're basically just sesame seeds and molasses, and some have fruit...high in calcium and just a little bit sweet
*Just Fruit/Just Veggie snacks: you can get these at Whole Foods or another health food store...they're dehydrated fruit and veggie crunchies; I especially like the peas and the cherries

Thought of you tonight when I was eating Bush's Vegetarian Baked Beans...cold. Now, you COULD warm them up but I totally eat them straight out of the can! They are not the healthiest thing ever but they are so tasty. I checked the label and they are vegan. I mean, they are beans, at least. Beans are healthy, right? Tee hee
