A protein chip enthusiast tried Khloud's new line of protein chips in Sweet Heat, Buffalo, and Nacho flavors, finding the thinner texture and bold flavors to be a standout from typical protein chip offerings. The Sweet Heat variety was the clear favorite, with the Buffalo coming in second and the Nacho playing it safe but still solid.

Why it matters

Protein chips have long struggled with texture issues, often being too dense and crunchy. Khloud's new line aims to address this by keeping the chips thinner, while also focusing on developing bold, well-executed flavors that make the snacks more craveable and 'snackable' than many competitors.

The details

The protein chips are made with real corn masa, avocado oil, and pea protein, and notably skip seed oils. The thinner build helps the texture, making them closer to a traditional tortilla chip, even if they do break apart easily in the bag. Of the three flavors, Sweet Heat was the clear winner, delivering a nice balance of spice and sweetness. Buffalo had a strong, tangy profile reminiscent of Frank's RedHot. Nacho played it safe with a classic cheesy flavor, but was the least memorable of the trio.

  • Khloud's new Protein Chips will be available nationwide starting April 8, 2026, exclusively in stores and online at Target.
