Anyone else getting tired of meal prep?

I used to love meal prep. I was so excited to put that first order into Allrecipes in 2019 after starting to work the early morning shift at a job. But the last 6 months Ive found myself getting really tired of meal prep, it’s starting to feel repetitive and I don’t enjoy it as much as I used to, it feels like a hassle and I’m getting tired of the same old recipes, even trying new ones. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to get excited again? <br><br>Or is this the pandemic depression and the early morning shift at work talking?<br><br>Just looking for some suggestions or similar experiences<br><br>Thanks <br><br><br>TLDR: I’m getting tired of meal prep because I feel like I’m constantly doing it and the recipes are getting repetitive, looking for suggestions on how to get out of this mindset.<br><br><br>Edit: <br><br>Wow wasn’t expecting this post to blow up so thank you to everyone who commented. I feel like I need to explain that I do meal prep for a reason, being that I don’t have time in the mornings to make a breakfast burrito or the lunch I want, so I can’t just make the meal in the morning or at night. That being said there are some really good suggestions here about changing my meal prep routine up and I’m going to try. <br><br>And also I understand what you are saying about first world problems, but I feel like this is a cooking sub, just like if you went to tifo_memes and posted about how your cat is really cute, it’s just not relevant here. <br><br>Thanks again for all your suggestions.
