  1. In a medium bowl, gently stir together the strawberries, blueberries, honey, and cinnamon.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and oats to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. In each parfait glass, layer: 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup fruit mixture, 1/4 cup yogurt, and 1/4 cup fruit mixture. Repeat the layers.

Tip: You can also substitute any fruit for the berries. Apples and pears make a great choice for a fall or wintertime breakfast parfait. Plus, you can use 2 15-ounce cans of fruit, such as peaches, pears, pineapples, and mixed, in their own juices with no added sugars to replace the 4 cups of berries.
