I have a convenience function (copied below) in my python path that I like
to use for this purpose.
Hope that helps,

def fill_between(x, y1, y2=0, ax=None, **kwargs):
"""Plot filled region between `y1` and `y2`.
This function works exactly the same as matplotlib's fill_between,
except
that it also plots a proxy artist (specifically, a rectangle of 0 size)
so that it can be added it appears on a legend.
"""
ax = ax if ax is not None else plt.gca()
ax.fill_between(x, y1, y2, **kwargs)
p = plt.Rectangle((0, 0), 0, 0, **kwargs)
ax.add_patch(p)
return p
