Currently trying to loose weight and reviewing my diet.

My issue since childhood is my complete hate of all fruit and most vegetables (long story).
I will tolerate broccoli, cauliflower, peas, green beans, and most blended vegetable soups and I also try to make hidden vegetable sauces for my meals (for example I Blend spinach, peppers, carrot, fresh tomatoes, onion and so on to make bolognese with). I cannot stand any raw vegetables - I will happily prepare my DH a salad/smoothie or whatever but if I tried to eat it myself I have a gag reflex.
I'm fine with stuff like l

It's embarrassing I know.
I'm a big snacker and up until now would have a few biscuits through the day, maybe some crisps of chocolate but I want to substitute them with healthy options instead.

My question is what can I snack on between meals that's good for me?
I know there's nuts but there's only so many times a week I can have a handful of nuts as a snack before I'm bored to tears - I also know not to have too many due to the high fat content.
Lots of blogs I've read suggest raw veggie sticks with hummus and so on but I can't have that.

Would anyone have any advice for me?

The diabetics UK website also has lots of healthy recipe ideas including snacks.
