REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (May 2026) — Samsara Nutrition has released its first three flavors of South Asian-inspired protein bars: Spiced Chai, Golden Mango and Masala Peanut. Founder Sravanti Balaji, a former software engineer, developed the recipes during her twins’ nap windows after a postpartum chai habit drew her into the protein bar category.
Each bar contains 15g of protein, 7g of fiber and 0g of added sugar, sweetened with allulose and monk fruit. Allulose is a rare sugar that the body does not metabolize as a carbohydrate, and may help moderate post-meal blood sugar response, according to a 2024 meta-analysis of clinical trials in type 2 diabetes patients. South Asians develop type 2 diabetes at younger ages and lower BMIs than white Europeans, according to research published in the American Diabetes Association journal Diabetes Care. The bars are also seed-oil-free, third-party tested for heavy metals and made at an SQF Level 3 facility.
“I’m not trying to be the South Asian protein bar. I’m trying to make a protein bar that’s actually good — that happens to taste like the flavors I grew up with,” said Balaji.
Samsara — Sanskrit for cycle of renewal — is available direct-to-consumer at samsaranutrition.com and through independent retailers including Robert’s Market (Woodside, Calif.), Last Minute Market (Montclair, N.J.) and Nature’s Way Health Foods (Stratford, Conn.). Wholesale ordering is available through Airgoods and Faire.
