Samsara Nutrition Introduces Saffron Cashew Protein Bar Ahead of Diwali

The brand’s fourth flavor pairs real saffron sourced through Heray Spice with cashew butter, delivering 15g of protein and 6g of fiber per bar.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., October 26, 2026 — Samsara Nutrition, a vegetarian protein bar brand bringing spices and South Asian flavors to the snack category, is introducing Saffron Cashew ahead of Diwali. The new flavor combines real saffron, cashew butter, and whole milk powder in a soft bar inspired by a classic Indian dessert pairing.

Each Saffron Cashew bar contains 15g of protein and 6g of fiber. The cashew butter and whole milk powder base creates a softer texture than the brand’s existing flavors, while saffron contributes its distinctive flavor and yellow-gold color.

Samsara partnered with Afghan saffron specialist Heray Spice to source the saffron for the bar. Following tests with several saffron ingredients and flavor options, Samsara selected real saffron for its subtle flavor rather than using a saffron natural flavoring.

“Saffron and cashew are a familiar combination in Indian sweets, and we wanted to bring those flavors into a snack people can enjoy every day,” said Sravanti Balaji, founder of Samsara Nutrition. “Diwali is a fitting time to introduce it, but the appeal goes well beyond the holiday.”

Saffron Cashew joins Spiced Chai, Golden Mango, and Masala Peanut, expanding Samsara’s lineup to four flavors. The addition continues the brand’s focus on bringing spices and classic South Asian flavor combinations to protein bars.

Saffron Cashew is available for preorder at samsaranutrition.com, with shipping beginning October 30, 2026.
