By Chef Laura Lea simplylauralea.com/mealplans Welcome! Welcome to my What's Healthy at Walmart guide! I know that for many people, Walmart is the only accessible and/or affordable grocery store. I also use Walmart to create almost all of the Simply Balanced Meal Plans! As a result, I spent over TEN hours scouring thousands of products, to come up with a list of the best deals on the healthiest products. Turns out, Walmart has SO many options that can help you and your family eat well, and I am so excited to share them with you! Happy Shopping!
