Question 1

Who is the creator of Khloud™ Popcorn?

Accepted Answer

Khloud™ Popcorn was created by Khloé Kardashian, who founded the Khloud Foods brand. She partnered with Starbucks to launch this high-protein, clean-ingredient kettle corn as an exclusive seasonal snack on the 2026 winter menu.

Question 2

What is the source of protein in this popcorn?

Accepted Answer

The protein comes from milk protein isolate, a high-quality, complete protein source. It’s evenly tumbled onto the popcorn kernels along with the sweet cane sugar and savory mineral salt coatings, giving each serving a smooth, integrated protein boost.

Question 3

Is this popcorn vegan-friendly?

Accepted Answer

No, Khloud™ Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn Protein Popcorn is not vegan because it contains milk protein isolate. However, it is vegetarian-friendly and completely gluten-free.

Question 4

Are there any seed oils used in the popping process?

Accepted Answer

No, none at all. Khloud™ uses only olive oil and coconut oil to pop the kernels, deliberately avoiding common seed oils such as canola, sunflower, or soybean oil for a cleaner ingredient profile.

Question 5

How does it compare to regular kettle corn?

Accepted Answer

Compared to traditional kettle corn, which is typically loaded with sugar and offers very little protein (around 1g per serving), Khloud™ stands out with 7g of protein per serving and a more balanced flavor thanks to mineral salt. This creates a satisfying sweet-salty taste with better nutritional value and staying power.

Question 6

Is the popcorn available year-round?

Accepted Answer

No, at this time it is only available as a limited-time winter item for 2026. It’s featured exclusively during the winter season on the Starbucks menu, although strong customer demand could potentially lead to it becoming a year-round or permanent snack option in the future.
