Understandably, when you eat the same thing over and over through the week, your
taste buds might start to become bored. Meal prep can be a great way to save money
on groceries and ensure that you’re eating healthy. However, when you start to lose
interest in your meals, you can become burned out. When that occurs, you’re not likely
to keep sticking with the lifestyle. Since meal prep and planning can be such a great
aspect to your life, you want to do everything that you can to stave off your boredom.
This article will offer tips on how to stay interested in your meals throughout the week.

1- Make Backups

Perhaps you cooked a lasagna on the weekend. Most of the leftovers are gone so you
don’t really have anything for the week. However, that doesn’t mean that the last portion
should just go to waste. Instead, you make a backup meal out of it. Place the lasagna in
the freezer. If at any point during your week you’re sick and tired of your current meals,
then you have your backup meal–in this case, lasagna–to break up the monotony of
your week.

2- Try Something New Each Week

For those who become bored quickly, you should try out a new recipe each week. This
is a great way to further enhance your creativity in the kitchen. It can also keep your
taste buds alive and excited. The more recipes that you have, the greater the variety of
your meal plans.

3- Add Sauces

A quick and dirty way to make a meal more exciting is to add a different sauce to it. You
can have the same meal every day but it can taste completely different each time
depending upon what kind of sauce you use. When in doubt, make a new sauce and
include it into your meals.

4- Add in Color

Sometimes all you need is a fresh dose of color to resume interest in eating your meals.
After all, humans typically eat with their eyes first. Try cooking with many different
colored vegetables and fruits.

In a nutshell, place those different colors throughout the week. For example, focus your first two meals on greens. Then, around the middle mark, perhaps fresh it up with some reds or purples. Utilize color to make your meal’s appearance fresh and exciting.
