Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose either plain or vanilla based on your preference)

1/2 cup granola (select your favorite, whether sweetened or unsweetened)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor depth)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: Begin by peeling the mangoes and cutting them into small, bite-sized pieces. Rinse the blackberries gently under cold running water to remove any dirt, then place them on a paper towel to dry completely.

    Sweeten the Yogurt (Optional): In a medium mixing bowl, blend the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and the vanilla extract (if you choose to include it). Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the yogurt reaches your desired level of sweetness.

      Layer the Parfaits: In your chosen parfait cups or glasses, start by adding a layer of the sweetened yogurt. Use approximately 1/4 of the yogurt mixture for this first layer.

        Add Mango: Top the yogurt layer generously with diced mangoes, using about half of the mango pieces for this layer.

          Add Blackberries: Next, create a layer of fresh blackberries atop the mango pieces, using half of the blackberries for this initial layer.

            Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process, beginning again with another layer of yogurt, followed by the remaining diced mangoes and the remainder of the blackberries. Finish this assembly with a final layer of yogurt on top.

              Add Granola: Sprinkle a handful of granola over the top of each parfait to introduce a satisfying crunch.

                Garnish: Finally, dress each parfait with a few fresh mint leaves for an appealing pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

                  Serve: If you prefer chilled parfaits, refrigerate them for about 15-30 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a delightful treat at any time!
