Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or coconut-flavored)

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (approximately 4-5 limes)

Zest of 2 limes

1/3 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (your choice)

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Extra lime slices for decoration

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lime Yogurt: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, lime zest, honey (or agave syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated. Adjust sweetness according to your taste by adding more honey if desired.

    Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to cool.

      Layer the Parfaits: Once the lime yogurt is chilled, begin layering your parfaits. Use clear glasses or dessert cups to showcase the vibrant layers. Start by adding a layer of the lime yogurt (about 1/4 cup), followed by a layer of granola (about 2 tablespoons), and then a layer of mixed berries (about 1/4 cup).

        Repeat Layers: Continue layering the ingredients until you reach the top of the glass. Finish with a layer of yogurt and a sprinkle of granola on top for crunch.

          Garnish and Chill Again: Add a couple of fresh mint leaves and a lime slice on top as garnishes. Serve the parfaits immediately or return them to the refrigerator to chill for another 15-20 minutes before serving.

            Serve: Enjoy your refreshing Zesty Lime Dream Parfaits as a light dessert or a vibrant breakfast treat!
