Eating nutrient-dense whole foods doesn’t have to break the bank. If you’d like to try out a low-carb lifestyle but you’re worried about the expense, look no further than your local Walmart. The company — the largest grocer in the United States — overhauled its image in recent years with its commitment to budget-friendly fresh fruits and vegetables and healthier packaged goods. Going paleo has never been this easy — or affordable. Read on for the best paleo foods — that also happen to be Bulletproof-approved — to buy at Walmart. And download this Walmart paleo shopping checklist to have on-hand next time you head to the store.
Wellbee’s Super Fine Almond Flour $30 for 2lb
Almond flour is a great swap for wheat flour. It’s lower in carbs, and higher in good fats and protein. Plus the majority of people can’t tolerate gluten — it sucks nutrients from your body and contributes to arthritis and inflammation.
One Bulletproof staffer says her mom used Wellbee’s almond flour in a gluten-free carrot cake and it was a huge hit. Or for a savory option, try it in this avocado pizza recipe.
Dynamic Health Organic Coconut Vinegar w/ Mother, $10.92 for 16 oz
Apple cider vinegar might be your go-to condiment to add tang to your salad dressings (or to clear up your skin). But you may want to make space in your pantry for coconut vinegar. This wonder food is anti-aging, supports fat-burning, and strengthens your gut. Dynamic Health’s coconut vinegar is made from the sap, and not from diluted coconut water, which has less nutrients.

Sam’s Choice All-Natural Wild Caught Alaskan King Salmon, $16.98 for 16 oz

Try it in this baked salmon with thyme-ghee and coconut noodles recipe, or these kid-friendly paleo sweet potato and salmon patties.

Sunfood Raw Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil, $9 for 16 fl oz
Coconut oil is full of beneficial fats that boost your gut health and power your brain. It’s especially good for cooking since it has a high smoke point, so it isn‘t easily oxidized (aka damaged). Still, you only want to make coconut oil a small part of your diet — too much of it can cause inflammation.
Applegate Naturals Beef Hot Dog, $4.98 for 10 oz
