Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Couscous
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 medium Banana, sliced

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the couscous. Cover the pan with a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the liquid.

Divide the couscous between two bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, chopped nuts, and a sprinkle of chia seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy a healthy and delicious vegan breakfast!
