Easy hot breakfast - Couscous in vanilla almond milk with fruit

My kids love a hot breakfast but time simply isn't always there in the morning rush.  This recipe can be done in five minutes and is not only delicious but a very nutritious start to the day.

Ingredients:

One box whole wheat couscous (usually 340 grams)
Vanilla almond milk
Cranberries, shredded unsweetened coconut, crushed pecans, raisins, slivered almonds, etc.

Cook the couscous according to the box recipe.  Instead of water, use vanilla almond milk (generally 2 cups of almond milk for one box of couscous).  Heat milk till boiling.  Add whatever dried fruits or nuts your family enjoy.  Add couscous.  Stir.  Remove from heat.  Cover with a lid for five minutes.  Fluff with a fork.  Add maple syrup and milk (if desired) and enjoy!
