Add 1/2 teaspoon of spirulina to the dry mixture and continue mixing with your hands.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of almond butter and 1/2 cup of honey.

Boil water and add between 1/2 cup to 1 cup of hot water to the wet ingredients to help mix everything together.

Store the patties in waxed or plain paper bags, refrigerating those to be eaten within 4 to 5 days and freezing any extras.
