In a small pan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the almond flour and chopped almonds, stirring constantly. Toast the mixture for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown, then remove from heat and let it cool.
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the erythritol sweetener and vanilla extract until well combined.
Lightly rinse and gently pat dry the mixed berries. If using strawberries, hull and slice them evenly.
Layer the parfaits in glasses or bowls: start with a spoonful of the yogurt mixture as the base.
Add a layer of fresh berries over the yogurt.
Sprinkle a layer of toasted almond mixture over the berries.
Repeat the layers, finishing with a dollop of yogurt on top.
Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving.
