Hey foodies!

I love quick and easy meals but they still should be on the healthy and nutritious side. Because of that I’m a big fan of couscous and granulated soy. You simply soak them in boiling vegetable stock and in no time at all you end up with a good base for your veggies or other ingredients.

A few weeks ago, I came up with this genius idea to soak the couscous with the granulated soy together. And of course, it works perfectly fine. You end up with high protein couscous. You don’t even notice the soy. But it will help you to stay fuller for longer. It’s the ideal vegan way to sneak in a source of protein into your meal. Let me show you this technique based on this simple recipe!
