Spells from the Magic Initiate feat can't be prepared unless the character has a normal means of getting it, i.e. a Wizard takes Magic Initiate and gains a level 1 Wizard spell. That character can now prepare that spell because they normally can have access to it. Clerics and Goodberry, though, don't work like that.

Multiclassing could solve it, but then I'd probably go into either Bard/Cleric, Druid/Cleric or Ranger/Cleric. Each come with their own sets of problems, though.

Most D&D runs have generous healing opprotunities, and the Healer feat is always another option, I think.
