Mango: benefits and why we use it in our bowls
Some fruits have something special. The mango is sweet, versatile, full of colour… and it also comes with a list of nutritional benefits that make it one of our favourite ingredients at Lettus. We don't put it in our dishes just because it tastes great (though it does), but because it genuinely delivers.
What makes mango so special nutritionally
The mango is a natural source of vitamin C, antioxidants and quality carbohydrates that provide energy without the spikes caused by ultra-processed foods. It also contains vitamin A, folate and fibre, making it a perfect option for those looking for healthy and satisfying food at the same time.
- Vitamin C: boosts the immune system and helps absorb iron from other foods.
- Fibre: supports gut health and prolongs the feeling of fullness.
- Natural antioxidants: fight everyday oxidative stress.
- Sustained energy: ideal before or after exercise.
How we use mango at Lettus
At Lettus you'll find fresh mango in several of our dishes. We add it to our poké bowls to bring that sweet contrast that balances the umami of the other ingredients. It also features in our açaí bowls, where it pairs naturally with berries and granola. And, of course, in our smoothies, where it blends perfectly with a plant-based milk or yogurt base for a creamy, nutrient-packed texture.
If you haven't tried it yet, we'd love to see you at any of our locations. You can visit us at Lettus Málaga or, if you prefer, place your order online and get it delivered wherever you are.
When is the best time to have mango?
Mango works well at any time of day, but it fits especially well as a source of energy before a workout or as recovery after an intense session. Its natural sugars and vitamins make it far more interesting than any processed snack. Light, natural and delicious: exactly what we aim for in every dish we prepare.
