What makes Amrita Health Foods different from other manufacturers and brands that offer protein bars that use whole ingredients?

  • Our plant-based products are made in small batches 
  • We make all our products in our dedicated allergen friendly bakery 
  • We focus on clean, wholesome ingredients that reduce inflammation in your body 
  • We aim to nourish not only the body but even the mind, so our products are created to help people support and live a healthier lifestyle.

Why is Amrita Health Foods offering pantry ingredients and products that are free from dairy, gluten, dairy, peanuts, soy, and eggs?

  • It all started when our Founder’s son was diagnosed with autism and severe gastrointestinal issues. He and his wife had to put him on an aggressive low inflammation diet which was primarily minimally processed foods, gluten-free and dairy-free
  • The gut healing process took ~ 2 years and because of this journey and the journey of many others (documented) our Founder decided he wanted to make convenient, grab-and-go snacks that were low inflammation and delicious (kids are picky eaters)

How many products do you offer now?

  • We currently have 6 different types of product categories  with varying flavors. 
  • We offer high protein bars, protein oats, dried fruits, seeds, paleo bites, and granola, all made in small batches and from plant-based ingredients.

Are your better-for-you products only for celiacs or those with food allergies?

Not at all. While our products were specifically created and formulated for individuals who are allergic to dairy, gluten, soy, eggs, and peanuts, they’re still full of flavor and can be enjoyed by everyone.

How can I be kept updated on the new products and announcements from Amrita?

We have a weekly newsletter  that drops on Saturdays.  This newsletter is a compilation of what's going on in the world plant-based foods, wellness, autism and nutrition.  Link is on our website header

What’s the shelf life of an Amrita Protein bar?

Because the bars have no preservatives, the shelf life of an Amrita bar is one year. To extend shelf life and for best freshness, store bars in a cool place.

How many bars are in a box?

There are a total of 12 bars in each box you order

How long can a bar be left once opened?

A month or more, it's like dried fruits. Keep it air tight and it’s fine

What about during the summer months - any special treatment?

Our bars are not coated with chocolate, so nothing melts but we don't recommend leaving them in really hot conditions for too long. There should be no issues during transit because we ship it via USPS or UPS. However, should there be changes in texture and taste, please let us know so we can do something about it.

Can protein bars be eaten as is upon receiving or should I reheat it?

Our protein bars are ready for snacking and consumption once you receive it. In winter if you want to warm it, we’d recommend heating it up in a toaster oven for about 1-2 minutes to bring out the flavor

What are the basic nutrition facts of Amrita bars?

  • Amrita Protein Bars contain approximately 230 calories, 8g fat, 30g carbohydrates, and 15g protein. 
  • That breaks down to about 50% carbohydrates, 25% protein, and 25% fat.
  • The bars also contain 6g of fiber and 1000mg omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Additionally, they are a good plant-based source of iron and calcium.
  • The bars are raw  and made without genetically modified (GMO) ingredients.

What kind of plant-based protein do you use?

The protein comes from the active ingredients such pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc and then we top it off with brown rice protein. This is why our bars don't taste chalky and dry.  This also allows for a complete amino acid profile in our bars.

Are Amrita bars peanut-free, grain-free? Do you use any added vitamins, minerals, and sweeteners?

We manage our own facility and do not allow any peanuts, gluten, dairy and soy into our facility.

It says your bars were produced in a facility that processes tree nuts, is that safe if I have a nut allergy? The website said it’s school safe. 

Yes we use coconuts in our bars and even though Coconut is a fruit, the FDA has classified it as a tree nut. That's why we have to add that statement to our wrappers.  Most schools are peanut free and our snacks would be a great fit for the school snack program.

Should your protein oats be cooked before eaten?

You can have our protein oatmeal three ways: cooked over stovetop, as overnight oats soaked in your choice of milk, or baked as a dessert or snack. 

How much liquid should I include in my oatmeal if I want to have it for breakfast or snack?

The ideal ratio between oatmeal and water/milk is 1:1. For every cup of our protein oats, add 1 cup of your choice of liquid. However, you can experiment a bit to reach the desired consistency (add more liquid if you want it thinner, or use less liquid if you want your oats to be thicker in consistency).

Aside from rolled oats, what are the other core ingredients found in your protein oats products?

We always use dates to sweeten, a pinch of sea salt and our brown rice protein as a base. Then we use other clean ingredients such as toasted coconuts, chia seeds, cinnamon, coconut milk, dried apples, pumpkin seeds, cocoa, hemp seeds, and blueberries.
