Dates are chewy, brown fruits that grow on palm trees and have a sweet and nutty flavor.

They contain natural sugars and fiber that can give you a quick boost of energy. In fact, one date has approximately 18 grams of carbs.

For a healthy vegan snack, you can remove the pits of dates and stuff them with almond butter. However, keep in mind that they are high in calories, so remember to watch your portion size.
