Stacked figs

5. Figs

Here’s a secret vegans would love to share with you, dried figs have more calcium than a serving of milk. Besides their high mineral content and natural sweetness, figs pair well with savory fare. Feta cheese and figs are a natural match made in forbidden fruit heaven. Forgo the dairy and stuff with nuts and a drizzle of honey or agave nectar for a delicious dessert or snack. Sustain your energy on long hikes with a handful of dried figs thrown into your favorite granola trail mix.
