5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Braised Pork Shoulder with Broccolini and Avocado
Description: A hearty low-carb braise using a modest cut of bone-in pork shoulder slow-cooked until tender, served alongside steamed broccolini drizzled with olive oil. Sliced fresh avocado adds creamy healthy fat to round out the plate for two.
Sale items used: Fresh bone-in pork shoulder butt roast ($1.99/lb), Broccolini 6 oz. ($2.49), Large avocados ($0.69 each)
Prep time: 20 minutes active, 2.5 to 3 hours total
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of pork shoulder (about 0.75 lb per person bone-in), estimated cost $2.99. Use the full 6 oz. broccolini package split between two plates. Slice 1 avocado and divide evenly. Because the braise takes 2.5 to 3 hours, start it by early afternoon or braise the night before and reheat gently on the stovetop.

Meal: Pan-Seared Ground Beef Patties with Arugula Salad and Avocado

Wednesday
Meal: Seared Ahi Tuna Steaks with Miso-Dressed Mung Bean Sprouts and Bamboo Shoots
Description: Two ahi tuna steaks are quickly seared in a hot pan to a rare center, then plated over a warm salad of mung bean sprouts and sliced bamboo shoots dressed with miso paste, ponzu sauce, and a drizzle of sesame oil. The result is a light, umami-rich low-carb dinner that comes together in minutes.

Use 1 to 2 tablespoons of miso paste for the dressing; the remainder keeps refrigerated for weeks.
