-
Blend strawberries, raspberries, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in chia seeds.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping.
