| Fat-free Vegan Orange Banana Breakfast Couscous |
I don't really like oatmeal. There, I said it. I just prefer to eat another kind of grain, rather than oatmeal. Don't get me wrong; I love oatmeal cookies (who doesn't!?) but when it comes to a hot breakfast cereal? Meh, I say. Recently, my hot breakfast of choice has been couscous. Let's deconstruct the reasons I've been loving couscous for breakfast:
1. It's quick. Five times out of seven, just about everyone needs a quick breakfast, especially wen adjusting to a back-to-school schedule. Couscous cooks in just a minute or two, and it's as simple as boiling some water.
2. It's cheap. A box of couscous is usually less than $2 and will last you for quite a few breakfasts. Even better? Shop for it in bulk.
3. It's versatile. While most people prefer a sweet cereal and fruit type of breakfast, I sometimes prefer a savory breakfast, so I add some garlic salt, thawed frozen veggies and nutritional yeast.
Convinced? Here's a few quick back-to-school breakfast couscous recipes to try:

| 7 ways to have quinoa for breakfast |
I've almost never been a cereal and milk kinda girl, with the exception of my college years (and even then, I was a cereal and soy milk kinda girl!). I'm not committed to having breakfast foods for breakfast. I'd rather have leftover tofu stir-fry for breakfast (though in much of Asia, tofu IS a breakfast food!).
So quinoa is perfect for me as a breakfast food. Just like couscous, you can eat it like a breakfast porridge with a non-dairy milk, sweetener and fruit, or, check out one of these creative ways to have quinoa for breakfast. |
