Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

2 cups fresh blackberries

1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain for added flavor)

1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)

1 cup granola (choose your favorite for crunch)

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, but recommended for color and flavor)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes with lime juice. Gently toss the mango cubes to ensure they are evenly coated in the lime juice. This will enhance the flavor and help prevent browning. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Sweeten the Yogurt: In a separate bowl, blend the Greek yogurt with honey. Stir well until fully combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired, creating a yogurt that’s perfect for your palate.

      Layer the Parfaits: Choose clear serving glasses or bowls to showcase the beautiful layers. Begin by spooning approximately 1/4 cup of the sweetened yogurt into the bottom of each glass, forming the first layer.

        Add the Fruit: On top of the yogurt layer, add a layer of the lime-coated mangoes, using about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per glass. Follow this mango layer with a handful of fresh blackberries for a burst of color and flavor.

          Add Granola: Generously sprinkle a layer of granola over the fruit mixture, providing that satisfying crunch that contrasts with the creamy yogurt and juicy fruits.

            Repeat Layers: Continue to build your parfait by repeating the layers of yogurt, mangoes, blackberries, and granola until you reach the top of the glass, aiming for at least two layers for a stunning visual effect.

              Garnish: For a final touch, place a few whole blackberries and a couple of fresh mint leaves on top. The mint not only adds a pop of color but also infuses a refreshing aroma as you enjoy your parfait.

                Chill and Serve: You can serve the parfaits immediately for a fresh treat, or for an even cooler experience, chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes prior to serving.

                    Optional Presentation Tips: For an added flair, consider serving the parfaits on a colorful platter or alongside fresh tropical fruits to highlight the theme.
