Whip up this better than store bought mango puree in 30 seconds with just 3 simple ingredients. All you need is mango (fresh or frozen both work!), honey, lime juice, and a blender. A delicious and nourishing addition to sparkling water, your favorite cocktail, drizzled over ice cream, yogurt or your favorite dessert!

Is it just me or is staying hydrated a constant work in progress?! Even as a dietitian, I get bored of water, so I have fallen in love this easy mango puree to juje things up a little.

I love how versatile this recipe is too. You can add it to some soda water to make a delicious and refreshing spritzer and most recently I’ve been obsessed with adding it to this delicious vinaigrette that’s guaranteed to make you eat more salads .

Busy Mom Meal Prep Tip: I love batch prepping this juice puree and freezing some in ice cube trays for easy access whenever I need it!

Now For The Good Part…Here’s How We’re Gonna Use It

Make a Spritzer: My favorite way to enjoy this! Mix 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup into sparkling water for a refreshing, hydrating drink. Add mint or lime for an extra hit of freshness.

Baby Food: Skip the honey if you’re baby is under the age of 1. Then serve right away or freeze in trays, and thaw when needed. The cool purée is soothing for teething gums, and mango is packed with fiber and vitamin C to support gut and immune health!

Freeze and Make Homemade Popsicles: Freeze this recipe straight up and make these mango tajin popsicles or add in some coconut milk and some tequila and make a mango version of these Coconut Margarita Ice Pops.

Elevate a Salad: If you’re looking to add a little sweetness to your salad – try adding a tablespoon or two of this puree to your salad dressing. It’s delish in this Crunchy Kale and Pomegranate Salad. I’ve also used it in this tasty and nourishing mango salad dressing.
