Hold onto your membership card, because Khloé Kardashian just pulled off the ultimate warehouse-club glow-up. Khloud, the protein snack brand she co-founded, has landed a brand-new value-size bag of White Cheddar Protein Popcorn at Costco, and it is bigger, cheaper per ounce, and exclusive to the club. We are fully obsessed with a good protein snack win, and this one checks every box: budget-friendly, high-protein, and impossible to find anywhere else.
What’s actually in the bag
The new 12-ounce bag rings up at $9.89, which works out to less than a dollar an ounce, a serious markdown from the brand’s usual online pricing where a four-pack of full-size bags runs $23.99. Each 2.5-cup serving packs 7 grams of protein thanks to Khloud’s proprietary “Khloud Dust,” a blend of non-GMO dairy protein delivering all nine essential amino acids. The popcorn itself is made without seed oils, GMOs, or gluten, and it’s popped in olive oil with real cheddar cheese folded into the seasoning. Basically, it tastes like a cheesy movie-night snack while quietly doing double duty as a protein boost.
“Costco has been a dream retailer for us since day one,” Kardashian said, recalling shopping there with her mom once a month for their family of eight.
That personal detail makes this launch feel less like a celebrity cash grab and more like a full-circle moment, and shoppers are here for it. If you’re already stocking up on Costco’s protein pasta for weeknight dinners, this popcorn slots right in as your new go-to high-protein snack between meals.
Where to actually find it
Here’s the catch, and it’s a big one: this value-size bag is currently rolling out to more than 50 participating Costco locations across Los Angeles and Orange County only. It’s sitting in the snack aisle for a limited time, so if you’re in Southern California, this is your sign to check your local warehouse before it’s gone. Shoppers outside the region will have to sit tight, since Khloud says it’s expanding fast, with products expected in more than 32,000 retail locations by August. Given how quickly this brand has been popping up everywhere, a wider Costco rollout doesn’t feel far off.
If protein snacking is your whole personality right now, you’re in good company. We’ve been tracking the Costco protein wave hard, from that pasta aisle upgrade to whatever’s rotating through the Ghost Energy variety pack this month. Khloud also makes protein chips in Nacho, Buffalo, and Sweet Heat, so if the popcorn sells out before you get there, don’t be afraid to grab a bag of those instead.
Should you add it to your cart?
Yes, and here’s why: 7 grams of protein per serving for a snack that actually tastes like a treat is a genuinely solid trade-off, and the price per ounce beats what you’d pay buying smaller bags online. Pair it with a smart Costco meal prep run and you’ve got snacks covered for the week without touching the bakery aisle. Just don’t sleep on it. Limited-time Costco exclusives have a habit of vanishing the moment they go viral, and this one already has Khloé’s fanbase and protein-snack hunters on the case.
