All things considered, these don’t have a ton of sugar in them. The only source is the 6 medjool dates, which are divided into 9-12 energy bites. Because they have the benefit of added fiber, the sugar breaks down a little more gently in the body, as fiber slows the process of blood sugar spiking and crashing. They are refined sugar-free, containing just six ingredients: dates, almond butter, pistachios, sesame seeds, coconut oil and lime juice.
