Here are mine:
1. Make a large pot of veggie soup
2. Keep fruit cut up in the fridge so we all can just take.

How do you make sure that you and your family members get enough produce?

Roasting them as chips makes them more exciting.

Melted cheese- seriously, delicious over broccoli and even carrots.

Personally I just have a veggie and fruit at every meal. and I love fruit so I snack on it as well. I eat a salad at at least one meal a day and some kind of cooked veggie at another. Sometimes soup. For my toddler there's at least 1 fruit at every meal and usually a veggie as well (not breakfast though.. and he doesn't ALWAYS eat the veg, but it's offered at least). I try to find recipes that have veggies incorporated in them for him since there are few he'll eat "plain".

It's so much easier in the summer when the produce is delicious. I have been enjoying nectarines and Persian cucumbers for snack, blueberries with breakfast and dinner and lunch always have at least one veggie ( soup, roasted asparagus, broccoli or Zuchinni)

I love it. But then doesn't it defeat the purpose??

Buy them.
Peel and cut them.
Put in a very accessible place.

If I bring fresh fruit with me to work then I eat it. If I forget to bring to work, then I rarely eat enough during the day. I remember to bring to work maybe 3 times a week.

I give the kids fresh fruit/veggies for school. Always cut up. I often put it in a little box with a cookie or cube of chocolate too. If they don't bother opening up the fruit they don't get the chocolate - too bad. Lucky for me, they would never open up the box and only eat the chocolate - they have too much of a conscience for that.

I also find that when they have friends round, if I lay a plate of cut up fruit and veg on a chair by where they're playing, they'll gobble it up in 3 minutes and ask for more. I used to think that they always expect nosh when they have friends round. But that's not true, if it's cut up nicely and looks appetizing they love it.
My DD has a friend who always asks for red pepper as soon as she walks in the door. It's her treat when she comes to us!
