Who would have ever thought 2018 would come to an end? The holidays come around so fast but I am anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving! What better way to bring in the holidays than with these healthy pumpkin pie bars!
The best part of these pumpkin pie bars is that they’re Vegan and Keto friendly! Yes a low carb pumpkin pie! We use almond flour for the crust and sweeten it with erythritol (a natural low glycemic sugar) to keep this dessert low carb but still healthy! This recipe is used with our Banana and Cinnamon Whole Plant Smoothie Drink! This beverage has 6 times more protein than almond milk and is an excellent source of fiber and magnesium.

This pie came out super creamy and delicious. Just top with some coconut cream for more healthy fats and you are good to go! This will satisfy any dietary restrictions this holiday season! Vegan, Gluten Free, and Keto in one dish? Can’t get any better than that! Enjoy!
