Our Story

At two, my son was diagnosed with autism and severe gastrointestinal issues.

To get him on track, my wife and I started him on an aggressive gluten- and dairy-free nutrition program.

The nutritional changes helped heal his GI issues, which allowed for better absorption of nutrition.

As a result, he could focus on other necessary therapies.

Within three years, our son was in a mainstream classroom and was doing well academically and socially.

After my son’s recovery, I was convinced that plant-based nutrition was the right approach for managing inflammation.

It became apparent that reducing one’s allergen load (such as consumption of gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, oils, preservatives, and chemical-containing non-organic foods) helped the body recover from daily stresses.

I've dedicated my time in developing snacks free of damaging ingredients and founded Amrita Foods in 2012.

Since then, our growth has been steadily amazing.

Our Products

What makes our bars and bites unique?

Our bars don't taste like sawdust or cardboard.

Our amazing bars are filled with plant-based ingredients like dates, chia seeds, maca and cacao, which are great energy suppliers.

Dates are our special ingredient that give the bar a wonderfully moist, and soft texture, versus the dry, chalky mouthfeel from oats or whey bars.

We use brown rice protein, a plant-based protein with a complete amino acid profile high in glutamine, arginine, lysine, leucine, and branched-chain amino acids.

We don't add any artificial vitamins, minerals or sweeteners since the side effects of these are well-known.

Our bars are raw, highly alkaline, and plant-based, they already contain high levels of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

There are high amounts of natural soluble and insoluble fiber in the bars which allow our product to be easily digestible without causing discomfort.

Our bars don't contain peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, soy, nor gluten!

This makes our bars very versatile, clean, and allergy-safe in addition to the amazing taste and texture.

Our Impact

Supporting Inclusivity and Spreading Autism Awareness

Young adults on the autism spectrum have 5x the unemployment rate than the average adult.

Thus, we have committed to helping solve this problem by partnering with agencies and hiring from the autism and special needs community.

Supporting non-profits involved in the autism community has been our mission since 2012.

We have partnered with Spectrum and Milestones Behavioral Services and we are excited to expand and build more partnerships in 2020.

Environmentally Conscious

We have conscientiously created an efficient manufacturing process that aims to have less than 1% food waste. The 1% food waste is then sent to animal farms.

Our new facility is part of a 100-year old manufacturing building which lets us reduce our energy needs because of natural light and low energy sources like LED lights.

Wonderful

These bars are their best. Just the right amount of sweetness and fulfilling. I’m an athlete and use bars a lot. Used to do a straight protein bar with artificial sweeteners UNTIL to found AMRITA. These are my new staple!

Chocolate Lover Bundle

I love chocolate and this bundle gives me the enjoyment of chocolate without the sugar that is found in candy bars and other protein bars.

- David A.

I love these bars!

These are amazing! The clean ingredient profile (vegan, soy free, gluten free) and relatively high protein content is why I tried them but the taste is why I became a subscription member!

Slow fulfilling release of energy

I eat the Amrita protein bars about three hours after breakfast from mid-morning through mid-afternoon during highly active days and including mid-morning bicycle rides (30 to 40 mile rides) starts. The Amrita protein bars provide sustained energy and feeling of well being — about one bar every 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Excellent nut-free bars

Very good protein bars, especially with it being so hard to find nut free bars. I liked almost every flavor, will be buying again.
