Just want to check is it ok to have couscous for brekkie?

[*Emsie*]

I saw it posted on here the other day and can't see why not and think I would probbaly actually like it and it would mean I could vary my hex's sometimes whereas at the mo I just tend to have toast or weetabix for brekkie and then its gone!

Just had never thought of doing it or heard of it prior and wanted to check?

Dont see why not

 

[Phoenyx]

As long as you have your super free...

 

[amythyst]

Agreed ! I think you can have what ever you like, when you like as long as its on plan. I woke up this morning to my beef & veg chilli being ready in the slow cooker and had a wee bowl before I went to work at 6am

dont forget you can make it sweet, and add fruit for your 1/3 superfree!

Just for a change

yep of course you can have it - the only time you have to worry about synning it, is when using it in a cake or bread as a subsitute for flour.

I dont see why not hun go for it
Although its not something i'd have for brekkie lol! xxx

 

[*Emsie*]

Lol thanks everyone I always have my superfree so not worried about that but yeah think will give it a go one a.m with banana and yoghurt!

I love couscous but have never thought of having it for breakfast, always thought of it as a savoury dish.

Let us know how it goes with the fruit, might give it a go myself if it is any good

Just tried it and it wasn't bad I'd have it again for sure. I had banana and f.frais with it as thats what I have in and I can save my bread for toast at lunchtime now as fancied spaghetti on toast

I have it for my breakfast every morning I add either sultanas (which I syn) or a handful of one of the frozen fruit mixes you can buy from the supermarket. A mullerlite stirred through makes it lovely and creamy and it's so filling I can last through til lunch with no problem! I actually prefer it to porridge now and of course it's all free on EE so HEA & HEB can be saved for later in the day

Thats so cool so do u add water first or just pour it in the muller? X

I have this at least 4 times a week.

the way I make is put 2-3 sweetex tablets in a cup and pour over hot water to dissolve.

pour the hot water over the cous cous and leave for about 5 minutes or per instructions.

Once soft I mix in a mullerlight youghurt (any flavour of your choice) and then pop in the microwave for a minute or two - voila lovely hot brekkie & no syns!!

Enjoy

lol mine's even quicker

sultanas/fruit in bowl
pour over cous cous
add boiling water to just above couscous level
nuke for 3 mins
stir mullerlite through
Eat & enjoy!!

I know i should syn the fruit because I'm heating it up but I don't! I do syn the sultanas though because they would be synned anyway
