Is Paleo dieting boring?

Many people claim that eating healthy is boring, but if you were look at the types of food they eat you would probably see they eat the same junk food over and over. The problem, perhaps, is that their taste buds have gotten so used to eating nothing but sugary foods that anything less becomes unpalatable. Regardless, Modern Forager has a good write up on ways to make healthy eating more flavorful.

The low-down: Don't use similar colored foods. For example, if you're cooking a meal with spinach and peppers, use yellow, red, or orange peppers instead of green. The more colors you use in the ingredients the more presentable the appearance, which in turn can actually make your food taste better to you.

Keep in mind textures. Mix and match textures like mushy, crisp, creamy, slimy, crunchy, ect. just like you do colors.

Spices are the spice of life. I've said many times that if you want to make healthy food taste good, you must learn to use spices.

Finally, if you actually calculate the number of possible combinations of foods using only meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds, the result is quite a large number. For example, let's say your diet consisted of beef, turkey, chicken, pork, salmon, shrimp, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, spaghetti squash, cucumbers, carrots, romaine lettuce, asparagus, avocado, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, celery, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, summer squash, apples, oranges, pears, plums, pineapple, strawberries, cherries, blueberries, grapes, watermelon, almonds, cashews, and walnuts. If this were your grocery list, you could technically create 1,190 unique meals, and that's not even accounting for different cooking methods and spices!
