Full disclosure, I work for Walmart in IT and specifically several components for the Online Grocery product.
Ask and ye shall receive. Buzzfeed's Tasty and Walmart have an integration that sounds like what you are looking for. Build a grocery list manually as well as from recipes in the Tasty app. Then when you "checkout" in the Tasty app it'll pre populate your grocery list in the Walmart app. You also select which Walmart you are shopping at so it shifts some of the items around to match like substitutes for what the recipe calls for.

Great thank you! I’ll check the progress of that in my area
Just like with grocery delivery apps, people were dismissive of the reality where such low effort would be involved and yet in some areas there are only food delivery shoppers anywhere to be seen. this will also be a hit
Recipe blogs can allow the users to auto populate their carts on Amazon or other common grocery delivery apps that interface with their local area
The nutrition bloggers can just share their entire shopping list for one-click replication
People that dont find the discovery aspect of shopping entertaining at all can still have all of the upside without resorting to those prepackaged-meal-but-pretend-to-be-a-chef startups
