The Picky Eaters Palette programs were created to fulfill a need to help children and adults who are in need of either expanding their dietary food choices, have food allergies or intolerances, desire to reduce their body inflammation, prefer to eat gluten-free or gluten and casein-free or have limited or extremely limited food choices. As a Nutritionist practicing functional medicine, Vicki Pare has witnessed individuals and families struggling with mental and physical health challenges. Many of these challenges start with dietary and lifestyle choices. With the Picky Eaters Palette programs, we can eliminate many of these struggles by balancing our nutritional needs.
Our goal at Better With Nutrition through the Picky Eaters Palette programs is to expand the individual’s palates, teach them about nutritious food and healthy eating so they may become healthier individuals who enjoy the taste that real food has to offer. Through the success of the Picky Eaters Palette programs, individuals can experience more balanced behaviors and blood sugar levels, stronger immune systems, focused minds, more energy and an opportunity to lead happier healthier lives.
The Picky Eaters Palette programs are designed for ease of implementation for therapists, educators and families and are easy to follow for families, adults and children in an in-home or therapy setting.

[Why Picky Eaters Palette and not Picky Eaters Palate you may ask? The Picky Eaters Palette program was designed using a plate broken down into colorful food groups, designed similar to an artist’s color palette. The palettes are then used as your guide for eating a healthy meal.]
Picky Eaters Palette
Do you have a picky eater or know of one? Chances are you do. 25-45% of typically developing children are affected by feeding and swallowing problems. The percentage is closer to 80 for those affected by medical and behavioral disorders.* In a January 2015 survey, Statista asked “Which of the following people, if any, do you consider to be picky eaters?” With over 2200 respondents , 26% said they consider themselves to be a picky eater and 23% said they have a child in their household who is a picky eater. Children with health conditions including neurological (autism, ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression), gastrointestinal (acid reflux, gastroperesis, colitis) and others typically have dietary challenges.
Whether the individual has limited himself/herself to crackers and chicken nuggets, or pizza and macaroni and cheese, the Picky Eaters Palette program was built for him/her. The program is completely flexible to meet the particular requirements of each individual.
Gluten-free Palette
The Picky Eaters Palette Gluten-free program is for anyone who wishes or needs to eat gluten-free. Gluten causes inflammation in our bodies which can wreak havoc on our systems. Whether you are allergic to gluten or are gluten sensitive, this dietary program will help you achieve greater health.
Gluten-free/Casein-free Palette
The Picky Eaters Palette Gluten-free/Casein-free program is for anyone who wishes or needs to eat gluten-free and casein-free. Gluten and dairy cause inflammation in our bodies which cause inflammation in our systems. Whether you are allergic to gluten and dairy or are gluten and dairy sensitive, this dietary program will help you achieve greater health through reducing your inflammatory response.
Elimination Diet Palette (Anti-inflammatory Diet)
The Picky Eaters Palette Diet Elimination program is also known as the anti-inflammatory diet. Gluten, dairy, corn and soy are well-known to cause inflammation in our system which leads to auto-immune conditions along with other health burdens. Avoiding these foods will reduce your inflammatory response and allow your body to heal. This program will allow you to see which foods do not agree with your system and provide your body a ‘reset’.
Food is medicine and the nutrient deficiencies we are experiencing create various behavioral and health challenges. The Picky Eaters Palette programs are comprehensible, easy to follow, easy to understand programs and fun for both kids and adults. The color-coded palettes and color-coded food groups in the Platinum and Silver packages, from which they can choose to complete their palettes, empower the child or adult to make healthy choices. Gold, Bronze and “Just the Plan” packages also empower the child or adult with making their healthy choices by using the included food chart and the meal palette diagrams.
