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!

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! 
Cook at home. So many people don’t do that anymore.
I make sure that everyone goes to bed at a good time and starts their day with a warm, healthy breakfast.
We stocked up on lots of fruits and a few veggies.
We eat fruits and/or vegetables with every meal, and munch on baby carrots and celery sticks for snacks. We walk our dog every night and that is healthy for her too!
I entered under the official rules too!
We try to eat the cleanest, healthiest food in our house.
Healthy snacks and exercise!
we take the pup for a walk each night to exercise our body and wind ourselves down! 🙂
We try to eat healthy foods (with the occasional treat) and get outside and play as much as possible!
lots of outside play time, healthy snacks, no soda in the house (or barely even juice), vegetarian meals often…. good luck to me!
My family eats healthy and stays active. We grow our own vegetables in our garden, raise chickens for our own eggs, buy local produce, and we also drink Tropicana Orange Juice. One of the few non-local indulgences we splurge on, because it’s so good! Super big fan!

We keep our boys in sports year round and play with them outside often.
No TV during the week….and lots of after school sports.
We walk every day
Eating a lot of fruits and veggies, keeping away from sweets and bad foods as much as possible! Playing outside and exercising too!
I steer clear of refined sugar, white flour, and processed foods as much as I possibly can! I also try to have a veggie with every meal.
i bake healthy muffins using egg substitute, apple sauce for sweetener & mash up bananas into the rolled oats & whole wheat flour & apf!
Wash our hands! I stop my kids at the door when they come home from school and direct them straight to the sink!
I try to eat lots of fruits and vegetable and exercise ocassionally.
We eat a balanced diet, go for walks, bike rides, go jogging, and do Pilates.
I try to buy one fresh fruit or vegetable a week for us to eat. It doesn’t sound like much, but it is hard as we do not like the same things.
Make more homecooked meals instead of ordering out , and get as much outdoor activity as possible!
We rarely go out to eat and get lots of playtime for exercise!
I show them by example to eat right and exercise. They in turn learn to love fruits and vegetables (most of the time) and they have a desire to be active.

I try to keep our family healthy by watching portion size and by starting each day with a good breakfast. I make up a healthy breakfast casserole at the beginning of the week which can be reheated, add juice (Tropicana 50 is our favorite!) and out the door. In the middle of the week, I make up another casserole, and we are good to go. Easy easy for a family of five.
We try to always get in a little outdoor time (even if it’s just a game of chase!), and I try to use whole foods in our meals as much as possible.
Eating clean, whole foods most of the time!
we don’t eat out that often–so much healthier to eat at home!
I’ve been working on reducing unnecessary snacking, or boredom snacking as that’s what it is.
We get plenty of rest and wash our hands a lot.
We start out the day with a good breakfast (we try to avoid sugary cereals!), get active outdoors when the weather is nice, and eat fresh (as opposed to processed) foods! Also limit fast food restaurants to once per month!!
Trying to cook healthy food and have good food stocked in the fridge and pantry 🙂
We have a smoothie every day with frozen fruit or what is in season, a banana, almond milk, flaxseed,and some baby spinach.
