Breakfast couscous is a delicious quick and easy alternative to porridge. Naturally sweet and healthy it's the perfect start to a busy morning!
Breakfast couscous? You mean, like, couscous for breakfast?
Yep, I most certainly do and this is one of my favourite breakfasts - especially at the weekend!
Of course you can have this breakfast couscous any morning, not just the weekend.
I love it as one of my mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack options.
It’s just that you need to lightly steam some milk so the use of a stove is required and during the week I’m not always near one!
I usually find that I'm starving by the middle of the afternoon.
That's why a bowl of this breakfast couscous comes in handy as a healthy snack and fills me up at that time too. It means I'm not reaching for anything unhealthy from the work vending machine!
It's made from all healthy natural ingredients and you can substitute your own favourites in it too!

Hello Kaelli, thank you for dropping by and taking the time to check out my little corner of the internet. I enjoyed reading through your blog! 🙂
Delighted to help regarding printable version of recipes. My blog is "self-hosted" that is, it was originally, with wordpress.com, but now Bluehost host it for me.
When I was with wordpress, you can use this link http://en.support.wordpress.com/recipes/ and use their code and explanation to have your recipes printable. It worked for me.
As I am now self hosted, yes I have an "app" or "plugin" which is called "Easyrecipe".
I hope this makes sense for you, if not just ask! There's so much stuff to understand when you are writing a blog! 🙂
Kaelli
