In a post from 2019, Danielle shared with her Instagram followers that she always starts her day with an IDLife Protein Shake and custom morning vitamins made just for her.

We have more evidence that Danielle loves smoothies, though, because in a YouTube video, the active mom shares exactly how she makes her veggie-packed smoothies to get her little quints to drink it! Danielle shared that she loves making things where she can hide the veggies in the meal. Danielle put a ton of spinach in the blender and said she's even put carrots in there too.
