In a medium mixing bowl, add the coconut yogurt.
To the bowl, add finely chopped mint leaves, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the mint is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
Taste and adjust the level of sweetness or acidity if necessary by adding more maple syrup or lemon juice.
Once mixed, transfer the vegan mint yogurt to a serving bowl or individual bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and serve chilled.
