A-list celebrity Khloé Kardashian is turning her wellness journey into a business model with Khloud Foods, launching protein-rich popcorn as her first offering.
After teasing the brand with Instagram sneak peeks, Kardashian officially announced that Khloud Foods will hit Target shelves on April 29.

Each serving boasts 7 grams of protein (more than thrice the average) and comes in flavors:
- Olive Oil and Sea Salt
- Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn
- White Cheddar
All variants are gluten-free, non-GMO, and kosher.
At $4.99 per bag, it’s clear the Kardashian brand is betting big on clean snacking.
"I’m at this stage in my [health] journey for the past few years that I’ve been really trying to up my protein intake.
I’m all about muscle definition and being strong and healthy, not just skinny,” Khloe told People in an interview.
Additionally, Kardashian expressed that the protein snacks she comes across in fitness stores "don't taste very well" and are filled with "so much filler and artificial stuff.

Beyond personal wellness, Khloé credits her shift in priorities to motherhood.
"It's very overwhelming to sometimes pack lunches for my kids or even know what I want, and this is just the very start of what I hope Khloud [Foods] will be," she added.
When it comes to the branding and product packaging, it's driven by dreamy cloud motifs and pastel visuals, emphasizing it as a snack that's just too good to be true.
Notably, Kardashian also launched a series of dreamy spots, with one showing the celebrity picking the snack off a floating cloud, before snacking on it.
A strong visual identity is crucial in crowded markets, helping a brand catch the immediate attention of its target audience.
Building a Better Snack
The first product drop, popcorn, feels like an intentional choice.
It's familiar enough to gain traction, but with a health-first spin that sets it apart from your average movie-night munch.
The "Khloud Dust," a proprietary blend of milk protein and seasoning, is where Khloud gets its edge, marrying flavor and function.

The snack line is more than just a celebrity extension. It reflects a trend in how consumers, especially millennial parents, approach food.
It’s no longer just about what tastes good, but what’s clean, functional, and transparent.
And for Khloé, it’s a bit more personal.
"I really just wanted something, selfishly, that tasted great, that didn’t have a ton of ingredients in it, that I could [fulfill] my protein intake [with]," she explained.
With Khloud Foods now entering major retail, the reality star is taking that personal mission to the public — one (protein-packed) kernel at a time.
Meanwhile, "Pitch Perfect" stars Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson recently reunited to launch the new sparkling beverage line Splash Refresher.
