Ingredients
- Chia Seeds: The base ingredient, rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

- Fresh Raspberries: Add natural sweetness and antioxidants.
- Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener to balance the tartness of raspberries.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances flavor with a sweet, aromatic touch.

Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

- Gently fold in fresh raspberries, keeping them mostly intact for texture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to individual serving jars.

Notes
