ALDI Low-Carb Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Oven-Baked Chicken Wings with Roasted Zucchini
Description: Crispy oven-baked chicken wings seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, and black pepper are served alongside tender roasted zucchini spears for a satisfying low-carb dinner for two. The wings are baked at high heat to render the fat and achieve a golden, crackling skin without any breading or sauce.
Sale items used: Farmer Focus Fresh Antibiotic Free Family Pack Whole Chicken Wings, Zucchini
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes bake time
Serving note: Purchase approximately 2 lbs of chicken wings (about 1 lb per person) and 1 lb of zucchini; total cook time is about 60 minutes, so preheat the oven first and prep the zucchini while the wings start baking to keep everything ready at the same time.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Ahi Tuna Steaks with Sauteed Brussels Sprouts
Description: Two thick ahi tuna steaks are seared in a hot cast-iron skillet with olive oil, sesame seeds, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, leaving the center rare and silky. Halved Brussels sprouts are sauteed in the same pan with garlic and butter until caramelized and tender, making cleanup simple.
Sale items used: Ahi Tuna Steaks, Brussels Sprouts
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of ahi tuna steaks (two steaks, roughly 0.5 lb each) and one 1-lb package of Brussels sprouts; tuna cooks in under 3 minutes per side, so have the sprouts mostly done before adding the fish to the pan.

Wednesday
Meal: Sliced Pork Belly with Roasted Carrots and Guacamole
Description: Thick slices of pork belly are pan-seared until the fat is rendered and the edges are deeply caramelized, then served over a bed of oven-roasted baby carrots seasoned with cumin and olive oil. A generous scoop of fresh guacamole adds richness and healthy fat to round out this hearty low-carb plate.
Sale items used: Fresh Pork Belly Slab, Organic Baby Peeled Carrots, Park Street Deli Guacamole Mini Cups
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 35 minutes roast time
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of pork belly slab and one 16-oz bag of baby carrots; use one 12-oz container of guacamole mini cups split between two plates; carrots can go in the oven while the pork belly sears on the stovetop to keep total time under 50 minutes.

Thursday
Meal: Beef Shawarma-Spiced Skillet with Zucchini and Tzatziki
Description: Thinly sliced shawarma beef is cooked in a hot skillet with cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon, then tossed with sliced zucchini sauteed until just tender. A cool dollop of tzatziki on the side adds a creamy, herby contrast that keeps the meal bright and refreshing.
Sale items used: Fresh Beef for Shawarma, Zucchini, Park Street Deli Hummus or Tzatziki Snackers
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of beef for shawarma and 1 lb of zucchini; pick up one 3.5-oz tzatziki snacker pack per person (2 packs total) for a perfectly portioned dipping side without any leftover waste.

Friday
Meal: Smoky Meat Stick and Brussels Sprouts Skillet with Crispy Pork Belly Bites
Description: Sliced smoky meat sticks and diced leftover pork belly bites are crisped together in a skillet, then tossed with halved Brussels sprouts and cooked until everything is golden and fragrant with smoked paprika and garlic. This quick one-pan meal is a satisfying end to the week, using up remaining sale proteins with minimal effort.
Sale items used: Simms Multipack Meat Snack Sticks, Brussels Sprouts, Fresh Pork Belly Slab
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use one full 7-8 oz multipack of meat snack sticks split between two servings and approximately 0.5 lb of pork belly slab diced into small cubes; purchase one additional 1-lb package of Brussels sprouts for this meal; the pork belly bites render quickly when cut small, so keep the heat at medium-high and stir often.
