Berry couscous with maple syrup

[Sweet_Pea]

Ingredients:
1 cup couscous
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (optional)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
500ml raspberry cranberry juice
200g reduced fat vanilla yoghurt
200g strawberries, halved
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
150g blueberries
2 tablespoons pepitas
150g raspberries
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions:
1 Put the couscous and dried cranberries in a bowl. Heat the raspberry cranberry juice in a pot until it comes to the boil, pour over the couscous and allow to stand for 10 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed.

2 Fold through the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and mint if using.

3 Spoon the couscous into individual bowls and top with a generous dollop of
yoghurt, sprinkle with the combined seeds and drizzle with maple syrup.

If raspberry cranberry juice is not available try apple or pear juice instead.
