Publix Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Slow-Roasted Pork Picnic Half with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Description: A bone-in pork picnic half is slow-roasted low and slow until the meat is fall-apart tender and the skin crisps up beautifully, making it ideal for two with plenty of leftovers. Halved Brussels sprouts are tossed in olive oil, seasoned, and roasted alongside until caramelized and golden for a perfect low-carb pairing.
Sale items used: Publix Pork Picnic Half ($2.49/lb), Brussels Sprouts (2 for $5.00)
Prep time: 30 minutes active, 4 to 5 hours total roasting
Serving note: Purchase approximately 3 lbs of pork picnic half (estimated cost $7.47) for 2 people - this cut has bone so 3 lbs yields generous servings plus leftovers; use 1 pkg Brussels sprouts from the 2 for $5.00 deal. Start the roast in the morning or early afternoon; it needs 4 to 5 hours at 300 degrees F, so plan accordingly.
Tuesday
Meal: Pan-Seared GreenWise Italian Chicken Sausage with Sauteed Broccoli and Parmesan
Description: GreenWise Italian Chicken Sausage links are pan-seared until deeply browned and cooked through, delivering bold Italian flavor without the carbs. Fresh broccoli is sauteed in olive oil with garlic until tender-crisp, then finished with a generous shower of Publix Grated Parmesan for a satisfying weeknight plate.
Sale items used: GreenWise Italian Chicken Sausage ($5.99 per 16-oz tray), Broccoli (2 for $6.00), Publix Grated Parmesan Cheese ($2.99 per 6-oz pkg)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: One 16-oz tray of sausage provides 4 links, giving 2 links per person; use 1 bunch of broccoli from the 2 for $6.00 deal and use about half the Parmesan pkg this meal, saving the rest for Thursday.

Wednesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Butterball Ground Turkey with Cauliflower Rice and Campari Tomatoes
Description: Butterball ground turkey is browned in a hot skillet with garlic, Italian seasoning, and a splash of olive oil until golden and cooked through, then served over fluffy riced cauliflower. Halved Campari tomatoes are stirred in at the end for a burst of brightness and color, keeping the whole dish well under 20g net carbs per serving.
Sale items used: Butterball Ground Turkey (2 for $8.00, using 1 tray), GreenWise Organic Riced Cauliflower - Frozen (2 for $5.00, using 1 bag), Campari Tomatoes (2 for $7.00, using 1 pkg)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: One 16-oz tray of ground turkey is the right amount for 2 people as a main; one 10-oz bag of riced cauliflower serves 2 comfortably; use half the 1-lb pkg of Campari tomatoes and save the rest for salads or snacking.

Thursday
Meal: Oven-Baked Publix Chicken Wings with Steamed Green Beans and Parmesan
Description: Chicken wings are patted dry, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, then baked at high heat until the skin is shatteringly crispy without any breading or sugary sauce. Steamed green beans are finished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of leftover Parmesan for an easy, satisfying low-carb side.
Sale items used: Publix Chicken Wings ($3.99/lb), Publix Green Beans ($2.99 per 1-lb bag), Publix Grated Parmesan Cheese (already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 15 minutes active, 45 minutes total with baking
Serving note: Purchase 2 lbs of chicken wings (estimated cost $7.98) for 2 people, yielding roughly 8 to 10 wings per person; use the full 1-lb bag of green beans split between 2 servings. Wings can be seasoned and refrigerated uncovered for up to 4 hours before baking to get extra-crispy skin.

Meal: Garlic-Butter Sauteed White Shrimp with Baby Bella Mushrooms and Cauliflower Rice
Description: Extra large white shrimp are quickly sauteed in garlic butter until pink and just cooked through, then tossed with sliced Baby Bella mushrooms that soak up all the savory pan juices. The whole skillet is served over a bed of warm riced cauliflower for a rich, restaurant-quality low-carb dinner that comes together in under 20 minutes.
Sale items used: White Shrimp ($8.99/lb), Publix Baby Bella Mushrooms (2 for $4.00, using 1 pkg), GreenWise Organic Riced Cauliflower - Frozen (already purchased Wednesday, using second bag from the 2 for $5.00 deal)
Prep time: 20 minutes
