I love my oats, but I also enjoy using other cereals/grains for porridge. Today, I made my breakfast bowl with giant couscous! I topped it with blueberries, pumpkin seeds, sultanas, toasted, flaked almonds and some cinnamon. It’s so easy to make and as usual #nutrientdense. It is carb-heavy, so you can have a dense protein source on the side such as yoghurt or you can use soy milk. ✨The extra protein will help with satiety and will also prevent drastic blood sugar spikes?
