Meijer Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Oven-Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Campari Tomatoes and Avocado
Description: Juicy bone-in drumsticks are seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, and olive oil then roasted at 425 degrees until the skin is golden and crispy. They are served alongside halved Campari tomatoes roasted in the same pan and sliced fresh avocado for a satisfying, colorful low-carb plate.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Family Pack Chicken Drumsticks, Campari Tomatoes, Minis Avocados
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 40 minutes roasting
Serving note: Use 4 drumsticks total (approximately 1.5 lbs), half the 16 oz. container of Campari tomatoes, and 2 avocados from the 6-count bag; total cook time is about 55 minutes so preheat the oven first thing when you get home.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared Bone-In Pork Loin Chops with Celery and Cream Cheese Pan Sauce
Description: Two thick bone-in pork loin chops are seared in a hot cast iron skillet until golden, then rested while a quick pan sauce is built from chicken broth, cream cheese, and fresh celery slices. The rich, tangy sauce clings to the chops and keeps the meal well under the carb limit while delivering bold flavor.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Pork Loin Assorted Chops (Bone in), Locally Grown Pascal Celery, Kraft Philadelphia Soft Cream Cheese
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of bone-in pork loin chops (2 chops); use 3 to 4 stalks of celery from the bunch and about 3 oz. of cream cheese from the package; the remaining cream cheese and celery carry forward to other meals this week.
Recipes:
- Smothered Pork Chops
Wednesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Johnsonville Brats with Sauteed Campari Tomatoes and Avocado Salad
Description: Two Johnsonville brats are browned in a skillet until cooked through with a snappy, caramelized crust, then plated alongside Campari tomatoes sauteed in butter with garlic and a simple avocado salad dressed with lime juice and salt. This is a quick weeknight meal that comes together in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Sale items used: Johnsonville Fresh Brats, Campari Tomatoes, Minis Avocados
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 brats from the 19 oz. package (save remaining brats for another use or freeze them); use the remaining half of the Campari tomato container from Monday; use 2 avocados from the bag purchased Monday.
Thursday
Meal: Ground Chuck Lettuce-Wrap Taco Bowls with Shredded Cheese and Avocado
Description: Seasoned ground chuck is browned with cumin, chili powder, garlic, and a splash of hot sauce, then served in crisp romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves as low-carb taco cups. Each bowl is topped with shredded cheese and sliced avocado for a filling, satisfying meal with virtually no net carbs from the wrap itself.
Sale items used: Certified Angus Beef Ground Chuck, Meijer Shredded or Chunk Cheese, Minis Avocados
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase the minimum 2.5 lb. package of ground chuck and use approximately 1 lb. for this meal (freeze the remaining 1.5 lbs.); use about 4 oz. of shredded cheese from the 32 oz. bag; use the last 2 avocados from the 6-count bag.
Recipes:
- Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps
- Taco lettuce wraps
Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared Atlantic Salmon Portions with Blueberry Reduction and Celery Slaw
Description: Two salmon portions are seared skin-side down in a hot skillet until crispy, then finished with a quick blueberry reduction made from fresh blueberries, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt for a lightly sweet, tangy glaze that stays low-carb. A crunchy celery slaw dressed with olive oil and lemon juice rounds out the plate with freshness and texture.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Atlantic Salmon Portions, Blueberries, Locally Grown Pascal Celery
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: The 12 oz. salmon package provides one portion per person; use about one-third of the pint of blueberries for the reduction (keeping the sauce to a small drizzle keeps carbs in check); use 4 to 5 remaining celery stalks from the bunch purchased Tuesday.
