Two hours on a Sunday, one shopping run at Fortinos, and you have five weeknight dinners ready to reheat and serve. Here’s the meal prep plan.
The Shopping List
From Fortinos: 2 packages Glacial Treasure Chicken Souvlaki, 1 package Glacial Treasure Lemon Pepper Chicken Breast, 1 package Glacial Treasure Chicken Shawarma (or Pork Souvlaki as a substitute), 2 cups rice, 2 large potatoes, mixed greens, bell peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta, olives, tortillas, tzatziki (or ideally the homemade from our Cash & Carry), hummus, lemons.
Sunday Prep (2 hours)
Grill the souvlaki skewers over medium-high heat, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skewers and store.
Roast the shawarma in the oven at 220°C for 25 minutes. Slice and store.
Pan-sear the lemon pepper chicken breasts, 5 minutes per side. Slice and store.
Cook the rice with a bit of oregano, lemon zest, and salt. Divide into portions.
Cube the potatoes and roast at 220°C for 30 minutes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Store.
Prep vegetables: chop cucumber, tomato, red onion, bell pepper. Store separately.
Store everything in airtight containers in the fridge.
The Week of Dinners
Monday: Souvlaki rice bowls with tzatziki, feta, cucumber, olives.
Tuesday: Shawarma wraps with tortillas, lettuce, tomato, and hummus.
Wednesday: Lemon pepper chicken over Greek salad with feta and lemon vinaigrette.
Thursday: Souvlaki pita wraps with roasted potatoes on the side.
Friday: Shawarma over rice with roasted vegetables and tahini drizzle.
The Numbers
One Sunday afternoon of prep. Under $80 in groceries (varies by market pricing). Five dinners for a family. Zero take-out orders. If you’re trying to eat better and spend less, this is one of the highest-leverage weekly habits you can build. And Glacial Treasure makes the protein foundation dead simple.
