    Healthy Daniel Fast Meals

    You will love these healthy Daniel Fast meals. Planning is your friend when participating in this fast.

    The Daniel Fast is not a complete fast from food, but simply an easy way of eliminating unhealthy foods from your diet for a specified time.

    These Daniel Fast meals will help you to jumpstart your nutritious eating plan any time of year.

     You will love these 12 Daniel Fast meals! This is a great way to jumpstart your healthy eating plan!

    What is the Daniel Fast?

    In the Book of Daniel, he ate no meat, dairy, sugar, or leavened bread and drank no alcohol, which is where the concept of The Daniel Fast began.

    Our church usually does a fast in January where we pray about growing closer to God in the coming year.

    Our fast is only for a couple of weeks or so, but some do this fast for longer. 

    Cleansing your body of the toxins in many of the foods we avoid on the Daniel Fast is said to have a wonderful effect on your thinking, focusing, and improving your prayer life. I can vouch for that!

    There are several books about the Daniel Fast, too. Check out Susan Gregory's books. Though there are others on Amazon, I have just found this one to be the most comprehensive. 

    NOTE: In the last couple of years, there have been quite a few books published about the Daniel Fast that include meat, sugar, and other things that were not intended to be part of the fast.

    Please check out any books you think might help you as it's frustrating to buy a book only to see the recipes are not truly Daniel Fast friendly.

    You could also try an online study. Here's a good example from the Bible app.

    Susan Gregory also has a workbook that I will be using this year for the first time. It's perfect for group study. If you'd like to join me, please shoot me an email!

    Good luck with your fast!

      Yes, what's up with all of these posts on pinterest and youtube that claim to be Daniel diet recipes that include sweetners in them? Very frustrating!

        Thanks for your feedback QueenPenn. I've answered your question in the response to Stephanie (below) and I've updated the Kale Caesar recipe as you are both absolutely right. It was not Daniel Fast compliant before. Hope you like the new version. Enjoy and Happy New Year.

      Looking at some of these recipes, they are not Daniel Fast friendly. I saw one recipe that called for soy sauce, sricha sauce, and honey, all of which do not follow the Daniel Fast. They contain sugar, and honey is considered an added sweetener.

        Thanks for the feedback, N. I use the book Daniel Fast by Susan Gregory and also The Daniel Fast Made Delicious, and both use soy sauce. You do have to read labels, as even crushed tomatoes sometimes have sugar. When I see a recipe that doesn't work for the way I do the Daniel Fast, I just skip it. Even in the second book I mentioned, there is a recipe for iced tea that has maple syrup. I don't do sugar when on Daniel, either. Some people do an abbreviated version of the fast. I've tried to make sure these are as close as possible, so sorry if you saw one that you don't think fits. Use the ones that work best for you!
