NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — You asked, we listened!
We’ve featured favorite finds over the years from stores like Costco, Trader Joe’s and of course our local markets. This week we’re showcasing surprisingly healthful finds at Walmart, thanks to the request of many of our viewers.
So, here’s the thing: If you haven’t been to Walmart in a while, do yourself (and your wallet) a favor and check it out. You’ll find many of the same good-for-you products and brands that you’ll see on shelves at stores like Whole Foods, often for a fraction of the price.
From green juices to kombucha to protein cereals to quality Greek yogurt, there’s no shortage of nutritious foods on the shelves. Here are three creative, novel, and good-for-you finds to try right now:
