What are Daniel Fast foods?

Daniel Fast is a term used to describe the fasting diet Daniel, from the Old Testament of the Bible, consumed during his time in captivity by the Babylonian king. He consumed a diet of “vegetables and water” and “no meat or wine” because he did not want to consume the king’s delicacies which he believed would defile his body.

Here’s the biblical scripture about the Daniel Fast:

Daniel 1:8

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank;”

After ten days fasting this way, Daniel and the other men who fasted with him were noticeably stronger and better looking than the other warriors in training.

Daniel fasted several times. In Chapter 10 he fasted for 3 weeks:

Daniel 10:3

“I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.”

Why do this type of fast?

Fasting was common in biblical times and was recommended to get closer to God and break free from sin.

Nutritional yeast is packed with protein and gives dishes a “cheesy” flavor. It’s an ingredient in the Daniel Fast queso sauce recipe. I like to use a non-fortified version (meaning there’s no added synthetic vitamins).

My favorite brand for this ingredient on Amazon is Micro Ingredients. I buy the big bag and it’s lasts a while.

Hummus

You can make your own hummus, here’s an easy Daniel Fast hummus recipe. Or, you can buy pre-made hummus if you don’t want to meal prep.

Hummus is part of my Easy everyday lunch meal prep for Daniel Fast meal plan. Serve it with vegetables and unleavened bread. Pair it with the Citrus smoothie recipe if desired.

Hummus is packed with protein and makes a hearty lunch. If you make your own, it’s relatively inexpensive per serving.

Unleavened Bread

Make your own unleavened bread for Daniel Fasting with the Daniel Fast bread recipe or Daniel Fast tortilla recipe (oil-free). Serve this with hummus everyday for lunch during the fast. Flavor with garlic, onion, and fresh herbs. Top with sliced onions and garlic salt before baking if desired.

Cacao Powder

My favorite brand for organic raw cacao powder is Z Natural Foods. I purchase the bulk bag and it lasts a while.
