5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Braised Pork Shoulder with Broccolini and Avocado
Description: A tender, slow-braised pork shoulder portion is seasoned with crushed red pepper and olive oil, then cooked low and slow until fall-apart juicy. Steamed broccolini and sliced fresh avocado round out the plate with healthy fats and fiber for a satisfying low-carb dinner.
Sale items used: Fresh bone-in pork shoulder butt roast ($1.99/lb), Broccolini 6 oz. ($2.49), Large avocado 1 ct. ($0.69), Crushed red pepper ($0.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 2.5 to 3 hours total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb of pork shoulder for one person (estimated cost $1.49). Use half the 6 oz. broccolini package (save the rest for another use) and 1 whole avocado. Make-ahead tip: braise the pork on Sunday evening or earlier in the day and reheat at dinner time; it reheats beautifully and the flavor deepens overnight.

Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Ground Beef Patties with Arugula Salad and Avocado
Description: One juicy 93% lean ground beef patty is pan-seared in a hot skillet until golden and cooked through, then served over a bed of peppery baby arugula. Sliced avocado and a drizzle of olive oil and ponzu sauce create a bright, satisfying low-carb plate.
Sale items used: Fresh ground beef patties 93% lean 4 ct. 21.3 oz. ($8.49 per pack), Peak Harvest organic baby arugula 5 oz. ($2.99), Large avocado 1 ct. ($0.69), Vitasia ponzu sauce 5 fl. oz. ($1.49)
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serving note: The pack contains 4 patties (roughly 5.3 oz. each); use 1 patty for this meal and freeze the remaining 3 for future use. Use about 2 oz. of arugula from the 5 oz. bag and save the rest. Use 1 whole avocado. A small drizzle of ponzu (about 1 tablespoon) adds bright citrus flavor with minimal carbs.
Wednesday
Meal: Seared Ahi Tuna Steaks with Miso-Dressed Mung Bean Sprouts and Bamboo Shoots
Description: A frozen ahi tuna steak is thawed and seared in a hot pan for just 1 to 2 minutes per side, leaving the center beautifully rare and tender. A warm side of mung bean sprouts and sliced bamboo shoots tossed in a light miso dressing makes this a protein-rich, low-carb meal with Asian-inspired flair.
Sale items used: Lidl Preferred Selection frozen ahi tuna steaks 16 oz. ($5.49 per pack), Vitasia miso paste 7 oz. ($2.99), Vitasia mung bean sprouts 11.6 oz. ($0.99), Vitasia sliced bamboo shoots 11.6 oz. ($0.99)
Prep time: 15 minutes (plus thawing time)
Serving note: The 16 oz. pack contains 2 steaks; use 1 steak (approximately 8 oz.) for this meal and freeze the second for later. Use about half the mung bean sprouts and half the bamboo shoots, saving the rest. Mix 1 teaspoon of miso paste with a splash of warm water and a few drops of ponzu or rice vinegar from the pantry for the dressing. Thaw the tuna steak in the refrigerator overnight or in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking.

Thursday
Meal: Andouille Chicken Sausage Skillet with Red Bell Peppers and Sweetpops Tomatoes
Description: Two andouille chicken sausage links are sliced and seared in a skillet until caramelized, then tossed with sliced red bell pepper and halved Sweetpops tomatoes for a smoky, colorful one-pan meal. This hearty skillet comes together quickly and is naturally low in carbs while delivering bold Cajun-inspired flavor.
Sale items used: Dulano andouille chicken sausage family size 10 ct. 24 oz. ($5.99 per pack), Red bell peppers 2 ct. ($2.49), Sweetpops tomatoes 1.5 lb. ($3.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 sausage links (approximately 4.8 oz.) from the 10-count pack and freeze or refrigerate the remaining links for future meals. Use 1 red bell pepper (save the second for snacking) and about 0.5 lb. of Sweetpops tomatoes from the 1.5 lb. container. A drizzle of olive oil from the pantry is all that is needed to finish the skillet.
Friday
Meal: Baked Chicken Wings with Curry-Spiced Konjac Noodles and Dill Pickles
Description: A generous portion of chicken wings is seasoned with curry spice and baked until crispy and golden, then served alongside stir-fried konjac noodles tossed in a curry sauce for a virtually zero-net-carb noodle side. Crunchy dill pickles on the side add a tangy, refreshing contrast that cuts through the richness of the wings.
Sale items used: Fresh whole chicken wings family pack ($1.99/lb), Vitasia konjac noodles 9.5 oz. ($1.99), Vitasia curry sauces 7 oz. ($2.49), Freshona German style dill pickles family size 57.4 fl. oz. ($2.99)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb. of chicken wings for one person (estimated cost $1.49). Use the full 9.5 oz. package of konjac noodles (they are nearly zero net carbs). Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of curry sauce to dress the noodles and season the wings; the rest of the jar keeps well in the refrigerator. Serve 3 to 4 pickle spears on the side from the large jar, which will last many weeks in the fridge.
