Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lime

1-2 teaspoons lime juice (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust for spice preference)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup granola (your choice)

1 cup fresh mango, diced

1 cup diced strawberries

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with agave syrup, vanilla extract, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined and creamy. Adjust sweetness and spice to your liking.

    Layer the Ingredients: In clear parfait cups or glasses, start layering. Begin with a spoonful of the spiced yogurt mixture, followed by a layer of granola, then a layer of diced mango, and a layer of diced strawberries. Repeat the layering process until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.

      Garnish and Serve: Top each parfait with a sprinkle of granola, a few pieces of fresh fruit, and a mint leaf for a pop of color. Optionally, drizzle a little lime juice over the top for an extra zing.

        Chill for Flavor: If time allows, let the assembled parfaits sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This will enhance the flavors as they meld together.
