Atole

Atole is a traditional warm drink made from masa (corn dough), water or milk, and sweetener — sometimes flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, or fruit. It's a beloved postpartum drink throughout Mexico and Central America during the cuarentena. It's safe to drink while breastfeeding and provides a comforting, calorie-supporting beverage during recovery.
