If you desire a delicious, satisfying yet healthy, nutritious dessert, this is the one for you. The chia seeds, a nature's complete superfood, provide a nice crunch and a slightly nutty flavour and are the richest known plant-based combination of omega-3, dietary fibre and protein as well. The pudding can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
|
- Combine fresh berries, blood orange juice, and dried dragon flesh in the blender. Process until completely smooth.
- Transfer the pureed fruit mixture into a bowl, then stir in the chia seeds until well blended. Cover with a plastic film and refrigerate until very thick and pudding-like, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Divide the pudding among 3-4 serving glasses. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired and serve chilled.

That dessert is the most beautiful color! love it!
This is what I need right now Angie, and the color is OMG!....your pictures are killing me....bookmarked!!
Angie, you made the best dessert! I love the colour, looks so refreshing and yummy!!
Lovely color indeed! I love how healthy your pudding is, if only berries are not so expensive here:P
Angie, the colour of the pudding very attractive!!! it sounds healthy and refreshing!!!!
Oh, Angie this looks georgous :). And very healthy. Yum!
A great combination! Healthy and delicious.

Rosa
Love the deep color of the berries.. this looks really good!
Delicious Angie to use over yogurt! I´ve been eating chia seeds lately, but never added dates or maply syrup to them. Nice!
What lovely colors and I love the dates and the crunch of the seeds. An outstanding dessert if I've ever seen one.
Sam
Thi8s looks like my kind of dessert Angie. The photos are light and bright and it all looks delicious
This looks so summer-y and love the dates addition. Is dragon flesh just another name for dates? I love the idea of no sugar, so simple.
Just repeating what everybody else is saying, this is the most amazing color! And I love the blood orange addition. I think I may have to finally try chia seeds!
angie, this looks very attractive. I'm sure it is delicious too.
What a fabulous color, Angie. That combo of fruits is exactly what I prefer for breakfast with yogurt. So healthy to serve for dessert, especially after a richish dinner.
I like to add chia seeds to my smoothies. What a nice, delicious dessert!
Now that's spring! Loving the taste and the looks of it. It just gave me a whiff of what's to come (I hope).
Nice tricks,pudding without agar or jelly sounds tempting to try.....
great fibers source too....
Awesome! I see chia used so much with chocolate, but this pure fruit variety looks so tasty.
What a beautiful, colorful dessert. All that fruit makes it absolutely mouth-watering!
That rich color -- so pretty!
Chia pet seeds? How kinky is that?
What a beautifully coloured tasty chia pudding :)

What an incredibly gorgeous colour! What is Dragon Flesh? Sounds intriguing!
very elegant dessert, looks absolutely divine.
Such a beautiful pudding-I just bought some chia seeds, so now I one of the first things I'll make.
What a vibrant colored dessert...I have not tried chia seeds as yet.
This pudding looks beautiful and appetising at the same time. I've made something similar with quinoa, and it is such a healthy dessert.
Oh, how I love berry desserts and your concoction here sounds spectacular! The color is so vibrant and I love the boost of nutrition from the chia seeds.
Love the vivid color ! I bet the pudding taste divine !
I love the colors of this pudding! Yum!
What a lovely dessert!
The colors are gorgeous and the recipe is healthy and light.
It's my first visit to your blog and I couldn't wish for more :)
This is so beautiful! The best thing is, I have everything to make it right in my kitchen. A guilt free dessert! :)
What a treat for Easter (and not only for Easter :))
Looks delicious and I'm sure it tastes great too!
So rich and delicious
Event: Dish name starts with R till April 15th and a giveaway
I've made chia pudding but not with fresh fruit - I absolutely love this idea!
This is what I call a guilt-free dessert and I love it! We're moving into the time of year when we can get some really sweet berries like this so I can't wait until I get to make this. Thanks for such a creative treat! Have a great week my friend!
Hi Angie, what a gorgeous pudding. I have never had chia seeds but have heard so much about them. When I buy chia seeds, I shall make this pudding instantly.
This is so crazy, my sister and I were just talking about chia pudding. I told her I want to try a berry one, and now I am enjoying your lovely recipe!!! I am excited to enjoy your recipe:-) Hugs, Terra
I love the vibrant color and I can almost taste it from here. Beautiful example of a springtime dessert, XOXO
i'm with everyone who has spoken before me: the color is stunning!!
Red is simply amazing....truly mouthwatering.
Happy Monday dear.

As others have asked...just what is "Dragon Flesh?"....I so want to replicate this beautiful offering....the color and textures are stunning....Please advise...my culinary vocabulary may not be the most "current"...I'm at a loss at defining "Dragon Flesh"....Thanks from France...
@glutwinSorry, a typo, it should be 'longan flesh'.
@IlkeOops, a typo..Ilke, it's longan flesh.
Lovely pudding and full of berries and healthy chia seeds, it must taste amazing.
@KitcheninspirationsEva, I wanted to write 'longan', but thought about dragon fruit...
Oh my! What a beautiful and delicious looking dessert! I never would have thought to use dried longans!
This is beautiful, lovely idea. Never heard of longans!
Fabulous looking dessert, great pictures. Definitely one to try. GG
I've read about the health benefits of chia but haven't used them. Your pudding would be a great introduction. I love the colours and flavours Angie!
I thought I posted a comment last night but don't see it - I thought there was something up. Anyway I love this beautiful dessert. The chia seeds is a great idea - and indeed a wonderful super food. I find the dates fascinating - a must try~!
I am in love with those bright pics and the dessert.
This looks so refreshing and healthy!
Beautiful color and so refreshing with the berries in this chia pudding...can you believe that I use chia almost everyday in the oatmeal, and yet have to use in pudding.
Have a wonderful week Angie :)
Such a gorgeous, healthy dessert! The color alone is super appetizing. This has to be one of my favorites from you :)
I wouldn't be surprised if your photos already appear in magazines. They are just amazing (sorry if I repeat myself but I really think you have talent here). And your cooking is also excellent. Brava Angie!!
this looks so good, excited to make in the summer with fresh local berries
Oh, I am so excited about this recipe! I've been having chocolate chia seed pudding a few days a week lately, and now I'll have another flavor to try. :)
Glad to see a recipe using dried longan.
Absolutely gorgeous dessert Angie! I have never heard of dried dragon flesh before...Can't wait to make this!
Unique dessert! I love the color and your photos ;-)

I love the color of all the blended ingredients! So gorgeous!
Wow!! What a delicious and colorful pudding!!

With all of that colour it must be packed with antioxidants!
OH yes, that is something good abt chia seeds apart from being superfood - it makes a good pudding just by being "soaked" overnight.
Lovely recipe and gorgeous photos Angie!
