AIP Friendly Mango-Lime Fruit Leather
Fruit leather sounds like a treat reserved for kids' lunchboxes, but this mango-lime version is genuinely something adults will sneak from the container when no one is looking. The base is nothing more than blended mango, fresh lime juice, a touch of honey, ground ginger, and a pinch of sea salt — every single ingredient is clean and straightforward, which is exactly what you need when you're navigating a healing protocol that leaves very little room for error. Packaged snacks are almost always off the table on an autoimmune approach, and finding something portable, sweet, and genuinely safe can feel impossible — this solves that problem beautifully. The slow oven-drying process transforms the purée into a pliable, glossy sheet that peels away cleanly and cuts into eight ready-to-roll strips. Bright tropical flavor comes through in every bite, with the lime zest adding an optional citrusy punch if you want a little extra zing. It keeps at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to three weeks, so you can make a batch on the weekend and have grab-and-go snacks covered for days.

8 servings
- 3 cups fresh or thawed frozen mango chunks (about 3 medium mangoes)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 tbsp honey
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~1/3 teaspoon per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp lime zest (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 170°F (77°C). If your oven's lowest setting is 200°F (93°C), set it there and prop the door open slightly with a wooden spoon. Line an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Combine the mango, lime juice, honey, ground ginger, salt, and lime zest (if using) in a blender or food processor. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides once.
