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!

Pledge to squeeze more fruits and veggies into your day & Tropicana will help kids in need. Tropicana will donate one 8-oz glass of orange juice to the USDA School Breakfast and Summer Food Service programs, up to 184,375 8-oz glasses. Please pledge by going to https://bit.ly/gAU7Eq .

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
We try to eat as many fresh fruits and veggies as possible. I try to limit the amount of soda in the house.
I do my best to lead by example. We shop for produce together, and decide on meals to prepare together! 🙂
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 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!
Recently I’ve been trying to make sure that we’re drinking enough every day – mainly water, but also counting juices/milk. Stay hydrated! 🙂
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!
I try to reduce the fat and sugar in our food as much as possible. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables too.
Tweeted about it as well. 🙂

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

I try and keep lots of fresh fruit and veggies around!
to keep my family healthy I buy tons of fruits and veggies and we eat loads of them daily!
We honestly drink lots of orange juice and take our vitamins. 🙂
We buy lots of fruits and veggies at the beginning of the week to go with our meals throughout the week
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!
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 take our vitamins and kick them outside!
I try to help my husband I to not eat super late in the night and to always exercise! 🙂
We try to just keep moving and not sit in front of the computer/TV all of the time! 🙂
I sneak pureed veggies into their food. We also make smoothies quite regularly and we are active.
Exercising regularly!

I now bake more versus frying and reduce the amount of red meat and pork we eat and we take walks every afternoon

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.
Take vitamins and immune boosters like Moducare and active C
lately, we have put a huge emphasis on not eating food with ingredients we cannot pronounce!
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.)
We try to eat whole foods, lots of fruits and veggies, limit our meat intake and exercise regularly!
I try to cook the majority of our food instead of eating out, and we try our best to not eat much processed food.

I don’t have a family of my own yet, but I’ve found that a good way to stay healthy is to cook for myself! That way I can decide how much sugar and fat goes into the recipe–not the fast food chain or frozen food factory!

We try to stay away from others if they are sick.
We make sure and eat every 3 hours at our house. It keeps us all happy and never hungry. We also make sure and get at least 30 minutes of exercise for the whole family!
