Couscous for breakfast? You'll be wondering why you didn't think about it before. It's thick and creamy, with sweetness from the honey and tang from fresh orange zest. If you're not a fan of pecans, use whatever kind of nut you like, or just omit them entirely. You can also top each serving of this breakfast pudding with a handful of fresh blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries instead for more natural sweetness without additional SmartPoints.
