the top’t story
TOP’T started with one simple goal: fuel my body better- without complicated meal plans or tracking macros. As a busy mom and student at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I was looking for ways to get more protein to boost my energy and build muscle (I had been lifting weights for years but still didn’t feel strong). My “aha” moment came during a lesson on macronutrients when I realized my mostly plant-based diet was missing the protein and healthy fats my body needed.
I started sprinkling hemp seeds on my meals for extra nutrition. Then, I added a few more seeds, a pinch of sea salt, and mixed it all into a jar- something I could shake onto everything from salads and avocado toast to yogurt parfaits and oatmeal. The results? More energy, more strength, and an effortlessly delicious way to power up every meal.
I began sharing it with my family and friends, and now I’m excited to be sharing it with you- because eating should taste good and make you feel good!

We proudly partner with atucun:
our cacao crunch blend features high quality cacao nibs from atucun, which is a local business that values intentional sourcing and high quality. These minimally processed nibs bring a rich, slightly bitter chocolate note and a satisfying crunch, elevating every bite while preserving the natural benefits of the cacao bean.
Beyond flavor, Cacao Crunch is a powerhouse of nutrient-dense ingredients. According to data from NutritionValue.org, cacao nibs are a natural source of fiber, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. Chia seeds contribute plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein to support sustained energy and satiety, while puffed quinoa adds a light crunch along with complete plant protein. Together, these ingredients create a balanced, functional topping designed to fuel your day with clean, plant-based nutrition.
