You've seen them all over the internet, Instagram, and Facebook lately. In all kinds of flavors, colors, and presentations. But what are overnight oats? In a few words, they're oats that have been soaked overnight in some kind of liquid that could be cow's or plant milk, yogurt or kefir, or a combination of both. The oats absorb the liquid overnight, so they expand and soften.

How to prepare overnight oats is quite simple (so calling them Easy Overnight Oats might sound redundant!) All you have to do is combine the oats and your liquid of choice in a bowl and mix well. At this point, you add anything you'd like to them:

Your favorite sweetener
Fresh or dried fruit
Seeds
Nut butters
All of the above!!

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, refrigerate overnight and that's it!

For this particular recipe, we're taking advantage of the delicious figs that soon won't be available, and combining them we coconut, which we absolutely love. Cacao nibs add a satisfying chocolaty crunch, and chia seeds boost the nutritional value of this breakfast.

For our soaking liquid, we used Lifeway Coconut Kefir.

What is kefir?

Kefir is a tart and tangy cultured milk smoothie that is high in protein, calcium and
vitamin D. Lifeway uses an exclusive blend of kefir cultures, and each cup of contains 12
live and active cultures. It is also 99% lactose-free.
