Healthy Mango Fruit Roll Ups
Back to school means back to routine, and lunchbox making. Not a fan of the latter.
My kids become very picky when they’re in school. If a friend loves something they love it too. If a friend hates something, they hate it too.
So you can imagine how frustrated I get when planning their lunch. These Healthy Mango Fruit Roll Ups has been a hit lately around here. Crossing my fingers it’ll stick.
It’s sweet, easy to chew and fun to wrap around your finger. You can make it with fresh or frozen mango, whatever you have available.
Since it’s mango season now, get as many as you can, cube them and freeze. That way you’ll have plenty for smoothies, desserts, and fruit roll ups.
The golden color is surely mesmerizing. My youngest daughter had a hard time guessing what she was eating. She thought it was candy.
If you’re not a fan of mango, simply use your favorite fruit. Select the ones that are creamier and less watery, for example, peaches, nectarines, strawberries, papaya, etc.
My favorite part is that you don’t need special machinery or ingredients. Just one: FRUIT. No added sugars, additives or dyes. Easy and convenient for traveling, work or school since it doesn’t need refrigeration.
I hope you can try this delicious Mango Fruit Roll Ups at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.

Hello ! Recipe sounds great, can’t wait to try it ! Quick questions- have you ever tried making these (or any other fruit roll up ) using reconstituted dried fruit ? Does it work ? I appreciate you time. Thanks !
Hi Annet! That’s a very good question. I honestly have never tried it and don’t know if it will work since the fruit has already been dried out and the sugars concentrated.
If you do try it, let me know how it comes out
I have tried this a couple of times. We have beautiful mangoes in South Africa But even though the colour starts out vibrant yellow. When it dries it darkens and has dark spots. WHat am I doing wrong
You’re overbaking it. Maybe your oven has trouble calibrating the temp. Simply lower the temperature by 25 degrees and watch it
Sounds so yummy! Can you tell me how long would a sheet of roll ups last?
About 5 days Jessica
I made the mango roll ups today but they took a lot longer than planned! I had my oven on the lowest setting (75 degrees) and it took about 5 1/2 hours. Maybe my oven isn’t very good as I upped the temperature a bit as it just wasn’t solidifying… However, I now have 8 rollups sitting in my kitchen ready to munch! Will definitely try again.
I am so sorry it took that long! Yes, ovens may vary. Glad you liked them!
