[Joolies Organic Medjool Dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all) are a perfect light meal before a run. Manaker recommends enjoying this treat a few hours prior to your run along with natural nut butter, or a quick snack before you hit the pavement.

Dates provide a natural source of carbs and potassium, which can help with muscle cramping. They have no added sugar and are a perfect easy-to-pack carb. Filled with natural antioxidants, this snack can help fight oxidative stress which can come about when running.
