Everybody hates meal prep because you have to eat the same food everyday?

most meal prep pages all look the same, with the identical tupperware boxes with chicken and rice and broccoli. <br><br>what if meal prep could look way different than that? what if you could meal prep 30 meals at once and end up with 10 distinct meal variations, like beef and potatoes and green beans, and chicken fajitas, and breakfast for dinner, and meatball subs, and chicken salad, and mac and cheese with hot dogs, and other fun ones?<br><br>you can do this with the right strategy. 1 pot wonders, casseroles, slow cooker meals, and other one-batch-to-multiple-meals strategies are the answer to this.<br><br>for an example, you can slow cook some carnitas (pork shoulder) and roast chicken, and make a huge batch of rice, and sauté some veggies, and make a pot of mac and cheese, and have a bunch of cheese, sour cream, and salsas on hand. <br><br>then you have what you need to make many different kinds of meals all week. you can put the chicken and rice and veggies on a plate for a bodybuilder basic meal, or you can put the chicken and rice and cheese and salsa in a tortilla for a burrito, or you can put the pork and rice and veggies in a bowl for a rice bowl, or you can dip the pork in salsa or cheese or sour cream for added flavor. you could put the mac and cheese inside tortillas for a fun twist on mac and cheese quesadillas, or you could put the pork inside tortillas for pork fajitas, or you could make grilled cheese sandwiches with the cheese and bread you already have, or you could make mac and cheese bites by dipping bread in the cheese then baking it. you could make chicken salad with the chicken and sour cream and cheese, or you could make chicken quesadillas, etc. <br><br>so you prep a bunch of ingredients, and you combine them differently throughout the week to create a wide variety of distinct and different meals from a single meal prep session. its fun and you don't get bored eating the same thing every day. you just have to strategize.
