More Than a Snack.

A Purpose You Can Taste.

Our Story

NutriPop didn’t start with a business plan.

It started with a late-night study session and a surprise snack from home.

When we first tried popped water lily seeds, we were hooked. Light, crunchy, satisfying—and made with just a few clean ingredients, it felt like popcorn’s cooler, glow-up cousin.

As Notre Dame students, inspired by the idea of being a Force for Good, we knew this wasn’t just a snack. It was a chance to build something that tasted good and stood for something.

Our mission

Nourish Simply

We believe real energy comes from real food. NutriPop is made from just a few clean, plant-based ingredients, because your body knows the difference. When we feed ourselves with intention, we feel it in everything we do.

Grow Responsibly

Good food shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. Our water lily seeds grow with minimal environmental impact, and our supply chain is designed to tread lightly. We’re here to build something that lasts, not just for us, but for the soil, the water, and the people behind it.

Snack with Joy

We don’t believe in guilty snacking. NutriPop is here for the cravings, the munchies, the Netflix nights and post-gym highs, without the junk. It’s fun, it’s flavorful, and it’s made to keep you feeling light on your feet, not weighed down.
