How to Make Quinoa Couscous Breakfast Cereal

  1. Rinse ½ cup of quinoa thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of orange juice and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the rinsed quinoa to the boiling liquid. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Stir in ½ cup of couscous. Remove from heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it sit for 5-7 minutes to allow the couscous to fully hydrate.
  5. Fluff the cooked quinoa and couscous with a fork.
  6. Stir in ½ cup of your favorite mixed berries (or other fruits).
  7. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy and delicious breakfast cereal!
