You may need a bite to eat, but what you crave is a bite-sized treat. Why not have both? Cinnamon Roll Quest Bar Pies come in miniature form, with each little one providing 10 grams of protein in a perfectly snackable 100 calories. This recipe makes four mini pies that feature a creamy vanilla center and slightly crisp Quest bar crust. You could be conservative and stop at one, or gobble up all four for one sweet meal.
