You can use nodemailer and nodemailer-express-handlebars modules do this:

var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
var mailerhbs = require('nodemailer-express-handlebars');

var mailer = nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: Gmail,  // More at https://nodemailer.com/smtp/well-known/#supported-services
    auth: {
        user: [USERNAME@gmail.com], // Your email id
        pass: [PASSWORD] // Your password
    }
});

mailer.use('compile', mailerhbs({
    viewPath: 'templates/default/emails', //Path to email template folder
    extName: '.hbs' //extendtion of email template
}));

In router post you can use:

mailer.sendMail({
            from: 'Your name username@domain.com',
            to: user.local.email,
            subject: 'Reset your password',
            template: 'password_reset', //Name email file template
            context: { // pass variables to template
                hostUrl: req.headers.host,
                customeName: user.info.firstname + ' ' + user.info.lastname,
                resetUrl: req.headers.host + '/users/recover/' + token,
                resetCode: token
            }
        }, function (err, response) {
            if (err) {
                res.send('Error send email, please contact administrator to best support.');
            }
            res.send('Email send successed to you email' + req.body.email + '.');
            done(err, 'done');
        });

In hbs template you can use variables:

{{var from context}}

hope blocks of code to help you.
