- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
- 2 scoops (approximately 50-60g) vanilla protein powder

- Optional sweetener for topping (maple syrup or erythritol)

Instructions
- Prepare the crust by crushing graham crackers into fine crumbs, then mix with melted coconut oil and sweetener. Press the mixture into the bottom of mason jars and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts in each jar, leaving space for the mango topping. Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Prepare the mango topping by dicing a ripe mango and tossing it with lime juice and optional sweetener. Spoon the mango topping over the cheesecake layer just before serving.
- Garnish with toasted coconut and fresh mint leaves, then serve chilled.
