It is time to spice things up with these deliciously creamy pumpkin pie bars featuring our Yin flavour! Pumpkin is a fall baking staple in many households, so we thought it would be fun to incorporate our Yin smoothie cubes into the ingredient line-up to help make these bars more flavourful and nourishing. Our Yin flavour is full of antioxidants and fibre, while also containing properties that soothe and improve your digestive system. Put on your apron, get out your blender, play your favourite tunes and grab your ingredients. It is time to cozy up and do some fall baking.
