Eating for Wellness: How Mangoes Support a Healthy Lifestyle

Here are some tips on how to enjoy mangoes more healthly and minimize potential blood sugar spikes:

Pair it with protein or healthy fats: Eating mango with a source of protein or healthy fats can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Try pairing some mango slices with yogurt, nut butter, or cottage cheese.

You can also add chopped mango to a salad with grilled fish or chicken.

Ripeness matters: Ripe mangoes are naturally sweeter than unripe ones. Choosing a ripe mango means you won’t need to add any extra sugar to enhance the flavor.

Fresh vs. dried: Fresh mangoes are a much healthier option than dried mangoes. Dried fruit concentrates the sugars during dehydration, making them much higher in sugar per serving.
