Celebrate mango season with this vibrant Mango Toast and Pistachio Butter, topped with juicy pomegranate seeds. A quick, colorful, and nutrient-rich recipe perfect for summer.
Mango season is more than just a time of year for me—it’s a feeling. That first slice of a perfectly ripe mango always takes me back. It’s sunshine on the plate, a reminder of sticky fingers, golden smiles, and lazy afternoons when everything just feels a little sweeter. I wait all year for this moment, and when it hits? I make the most of it.
This Pistachio Butter and Mango Toast is a celebration of color and flavor, but also nourishment and joy. It’s my current go-to when I want something quick but crave something beautiful. And the best part? It hits that sweet spot of being both good for you and totally crave-worthy.
Mangoes are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants like beta-carotene, which supports healthy skin and immunity—something I’m always thinking about as a mom. Pistachio butter brings in healthy fats, protein, and magnesium for lasting energy (hello, no mid-morning crash), and the little jewel-like pomegranate seeds on top aren’t just for looks. They add a juicy pop and are full of polyphenols and vitamin K, which supports heart health and bone strength.
But beyond all the nutrition talk, this toast just makes me happy. The colors, the textures, the way the flavors dance together—sweet, creamy, nutty, bright. It’s the kind of simple pleasure I find myself coming back to again and again.
I like to keep it real—fast, fresh, and full of feel-good ingredients. And this checks all the boxes.
Tell me—do you love mangoes as much as I do? Are you team Kent, Ataulfo, or Alphonso? And what’s your favorite way to enjoy them before the season slips away?
