I freeze half of what I prep. That way I am not forced to eat the same thing all week, and future me gets an easy meal. Meal prep got better when I stopped treating Sunday like I had to solve every meal until Friday.
How do you meal prep without eating the same boring food for five days?

Sauces are the secret. Same chicken and rice can become Greek, Mexican or Asian-inspired depending on sauce and toppings. I keep salsa, tzatziki, hot sauce and a peanut sauce ready.
Prep ingredients, not full meals. I cook a protein, a grain, roasted vegetables and two sauces. Then I turn them into bowls, wraps, salads or stir-fry during the week. It feels less like punishment than five identical boxes.
