Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup granola (your favorite type)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: In a medium bowl, combine the fresh pineapple chunks with lime juice and lime zest. Toss to coat evenly. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Mix the Yogurt: In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey (or agave syrup) until smooth and well combined.

      Layer the Parfaits: In serving glasses or bowls, start with a layer of the lime-infused pineapple chunks at the bottom.

        Add Yogurt Layer: Follow the pineapple with a generous spoonful of the sweetened yogurt, smoothing it down gently.

          Granola Crunch: Next, add a layer of granola for that delightful crunch, pressing it down lightly.

            Repeat Layers: Continue the layering process until the glasses are filled, finishing off with a final layer of yogurt on top.

              Garnish: Sprinkle shredded coconut on the top yogurt layer and garnish with mint leaves if desired.

                Chill and Serve: Optionally, chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to deepen.
