Amaranth Atole with Banana

Comer y Crecer
This atole recipe is a different option to include amaranth in your diet, as it is a little-used grain but considered a superfood, being rich in protein, iron, potassium, highly digestible, and having a good amount of fiber; in addition, it is mixed with banana, which also provides vitamins and minerals. When preparing it, pay close attention to the caramelization of the piloncillo, as if you go too far, it can make the atole bitter. It should be a deep golden color.
