Peel and dice the ripe mangoes into small cubes. If desired, set aside a few cubes for garnish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
In another small bowl, mix chia seeds with 4 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the seeds gel up slightly.
Toast the almonds by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool and then roughly chop them.
To assemble the parfait, take four serving glasses. Start by adding a layer of diced mangoes at the bottom of each glass.
Spoon over a layer of the Greek yogurt mixture, followed by a sprinkle of the gelled chia seeds.
Repeat the layers until you use all the ingredients, ensuring that the top layer is a layer of Greek yogurt.
Garnish each parfait with a few cubes of reserved mango, a sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped toasted almonds, and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a more refreshing treat.
