Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat or low-fat)

– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, mixing well to incorporate.
2. Add chia seeds to the yogurt mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken the yogurt slightly.

4. Once the yogurt is ready, layer it in a serving bowl or jar, starting with half of the yogurt mixture at the bottom.
5. Add half of the diced mango on top of the yogurt layer and sprinkle a tablespoon of coconut flakes.
6. Add the remaining yogurt on top of the mango and coconut layer, followed by the rest of the diced mango.
7. Top it off with the remaining coconut flakes. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy a nutritious breakfast packed with protein and healthy fats.
