Blackberry Atole
Atole is a traditional Mexican beverage made from corn masa that can be enjoyed as a filling breakfast or a comforting evening treat. Because it is thickened with nixtamalized corn, it has a unique heartiness that makes it incredibly satiating. This version features high-fiber blackberries, which add a tartness that perfectly balances the earthy sweetness of the corn. The use of Maizly milk amplifies the corn flavor while keeping the recipe dairy-free, boosting the overall gut-supportive fiber, and creating that authentic, velvety texture
