If you’re getting bored with the usual suspects for breakfast then this recipe is for you! Couscous is a great source of carbohydrates to help fuel your morning, and the 9g of protein and 6g of fibre will help keep you feeling fuller for longer. The added bonus is that it’s very low in fat with just 1g per serve! Make the most of fresh berries while they’re in season. They are a great source of vitamin C and folate, which plays an important role in red blood cell production.
