Energy balls in 5 minutes and 3 ingredients

Makes 16 balls 

Ingredients

15 large medjool dates, pitted 
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder * and more for rolling
1 cup ofnatural almonds 
1/4 cup hot water

Instructions

1. Add the dates to the food processor and mix until chopped. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until the ingredients form a paste.
2. Scoop the dough onto a piece of waxed paper and form a 6 x 6 inch square. Let stand one minute.
3. Using a knife, cut into 16 equal portions. You can either leave them square or roll them into a ball, like I did. (Shown in photos) You might want to sprinkle some extra cocoa powder lightly so that they aren't too sticky and are easier to roll into a ball.

* Keeps for 2 weeks in the refrigerator

Bon appétit!
