Reviews |
This is a sponsored post from BlogHer and Tropicana.
Let’s face it, it’s tricky to keep the family healthy ALL the time. We are constantly trying to stay on top of good health whether it’s running around outside, riding bikes or walking through Disneyland…often 
There’s no secret, it’s a challenge, but we try to have fresh fruit and vegetables on hand so we can eat as much as possible. It’s nice when there is so much goodness packed into orange juice like Tropicana, I know my kids are getting their fruit serving just by drinking a big glass of juice!

We try to eat whole foods, lots of fruits and veggies, limit our meat intake and exercise regularly!
I try to drink 8 glasses of water a day, eat lots of fruits and veggies (and limit meat intake), and we’ve switched to good carbs (whole wheat, whole grain, etc.)
lately, we have put a huge emphasis on not eating food with ingredients we cannot pronounce!
Take vitamins and immune boosters like Moducare and active C
My motto in life is – moderation in all things. I think it applies here as well. We definitely try to get outside and play, run, bike ski, explore etc.. everyday and I cook healthy meals most days. But we also like to give our kids the opportunity to make good choices without forcing it on them. I keep mostly healthy foods in the house but we also have treats. My daughters are learning that they feel better when they eat better. We talk about what it means to be healthy and be the best examples that we can for them. However, we love a good doughnut once in awhile and a little bit of chocolate doesn’t hurt either.
I now bake more versus frying and reduce the amount of red meat and pork we eat and we take walks every afternoon

Exercising regularly!
I sneak pureed veggies into their food. We also make smoothies quite regularly and we are active.
We try to just keep moving and not sit in front of the computer/TV all of the time!
I try to help my husband I to not eat super late in the night and to always exercise!
We take our vitamins and kick them outside!
My husband and I do a lot of walking and I try to incorporate as many fresh, whole foods into my cooking as possible. I enjoy making tasty smoothies too, which is a quick and easy way to get servings of fruit and veg.
We try to keep all goodies out of the house. As long as they don’t come in, it’s a lot easier not to consume them!
We buy lots of fruits and veggies at the beginning of the week to go with our meals throughout the week
We honestly drink lots of orange juice and take our vitamins.
to keep my family healthy I buy tons of fruits and veggies and we eat loads of them daily!
I try and keep lots of fresh fruit and veggies around!

I try to find alternatives to the less healthy after-school snacks and we are outside playing a lot!
My Fiance & I both gave up soda & bought a Brita water filter!
I try to cook as many meals as possible. That wasy I know there’s no bad ingredients sneaking into our food.
Tweeted about it as well.

I try to reduce the fat and sugar in our food as much as possible. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables too.
My husband and I go to the cycling class at our gym together. We also have cut out all sodas, and mainly drink water and juice!
Recently I’ve been trying to make sure that we’re drinking enough every day – mainly water, but also counting juices/milk. Stay hydrated!
I always try to have plenty of fruits and veggies in the house, all easily ready to eat. It helps to keep from snacking on unhealthy things!
i try to cook at home when i can so i dont have to eat out at restaurants, where i dont know what they add into the food!
I do my best to lead by example. We shop for produce together, and decide on meals to prepare together!
We try to eat as many fresh fruits and veggies as possible. I try to limit the amount of soda in the house.
First and foremost, I make sure we all get plenty of sleep. When we start going to bed too late, and not getting the rest our bodies need, that’s when we start to get sick. My kids need at least 12 hours a night. I know that sounds like a lot, but if they don’t get those 12 hours, they are cranky, and tend to get the sniffles more often.
I try my hardest to avoid having any “junk food” in the house and when I cook, I’m always finding creative ways to sneak in veggies! God love my husband, but he’s like an overgrown child and doesn’t have an ounce of self-discipline when it comes to sweet/salty foods!
I try to make as many healthy and wholesome home cooked meals as possible with as little “fake” food as possible.
We love to play outside together. We do cartwheels, play t-ball and walk together.
I try to cook healthy on top of exercising.
My 13 month son loves to be on the go, so we play outside a lot and he loves him some plain old water and amazingly he eats his fruits and VEGGIES with NO hesitation. He hasn’t turned away any veggie I have given him and that includes asparagus, peas, and broccoli.
To keep my family healthy, I make sure that we incorporate a variety of fresh fruits and veggies into our daily meals.
I also try not to keep junk food around.
We get outside in the sun as often as possible & I make my 9-month old daughter homemade food as much as I can.
I take the kids for walks and bike rides, send them outside to play a lot, show them that exercise is good for you and can be fun also, and we make good decisions with our food choices.
We drink lots of water so we aren’t drinking our calories! I don’t have unhealthy foods in the house, so we are not tempted. We spend lots of time outside
An apple a day…it really seems to work!
We eat a lot of whole wheat pasta and brown rice, and I cook a lot of fresh vegetables. I always have fruit with our meals too!
Eat lots of fruit and veges
We get lots of Vitamin C from our daily glass of orange juice and we started eating smaller portions and have incorporated more vegetables, less meat.
My very active tribe of 11 children always play outdoors either in our backyard, swim or football teams, and we never let them drink soda! Tropicana is a big treat as they usually have milk or water, so we love OJ!
I sneak veggies into everything I possibly can (carrots in spaghetti sauce!) and walk as much as possible. When I can’t walk outside I ride my bike inside while watching the news.

We ear or attempt to eat healthy limiting red meat and we all paricipate in various forms of exercise.
I try to cook mostly healthy dinners throughout the week, and we will exercise often. My husband and I are both involved in sports teams to make it more fun!
All ways have banana’s and oranges on the counter. The strawberry farm is now open so their will be fresh strawberries in the fridge along with other fruit. No soda in the house unless it is to celebrate a bday, thanksgiving or Christmas. The kids play outside when every day when the sun is out – riding bikes or just running around enjoy the day no sitting and watching TV all day when it is nice outside. The kids are pretty good about eating dinner that I make.
they love peanut butter and banana smoothies – and I always throw in some spinach – in any smoothie.. makes ‘em green – but they don’t taste a thing
