Daniel Fast Guidelines
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. 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. Daniel 10:2, 3

The Daniel Fast is a plant-based partial fast. It is based on the Prophet Daniel when he was under the rule of Babylonian kings for their personal service. Daniel recorded three occasions of fasting, though he likely fasted many more times since he was a man of God.
Daniel 10:2, 3 is where we find the model for the 21-day Daniel Fast. From this passage, a guidelines have developed over the years, primarily by Christians who use this as a form of fasting. The Daniel Fast has grown in popularity over the last 3 or 4 years as it’s been championed by Pastor Jentezen Franklin of Gainesville, GA.
No Pleasant Food: This would include breads, sugars and sweet foods.
No Meat: All animal products are restricted on the Daniel Fast. That includes meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products (milk, eggs, cheese, butter, etc.)
No Wine: This restriction, coupled with previous fasts where Daniel drank only water (which is typical for biblical fasting), is where today’s Daniel Fast finds its roots for water only. Fruit and vegetable juices are acceptable.
See The Daniel Fast Food List for more details.

Spiritual Fasting: The Daniel Fast is a restriction of food for spiritual purposes. So the fast addresses not only the body, but also ones spirit and soul.

Hello Daniel Fast Team.
I am going to be starting a Daniel fast in two days. However I am going to be fasting for about 2 1/2 months. I am fasting for breakthrought for the healing of a friend with an advanced cancer. Just wondering if there is anything to be concerned about fasting for that length of time and if there are any tips that you have. Thanks and be blessed!
Hi AJ,
Although the fast is traditionally done for 21 days, some have gone for a longer length of time (up to 50+ days), and some for shorter (7 days), and some have even made it a life style. Whatever the length of your fast you must be intentional with your protein intake. Protein rich foods include Nuts, Nut Butters (peanut butter, almond butter, any nut butter), Whole grains, legumes and leafy green vegetables, also you may consider adding in some unsweetened plant based protein powder into a ‘smoothie’ as a liquid meal (make sure the ingredients comply with the Daniel Fast, such as sweeteners, chemical additives and whey). To learn more go to: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/healthnutrition/tp/protein.htm Also, make sure you are drinking your daily requirements of Water! Be Blessed on your Journey!
” I train occasionally, I was wondering if taking protein shakes (meal replacements) during the day on a fast be okay? I am having a hard time going throughout the day with no protein, knowing if i do not drink my protein, i will lose muscle, that i have trained hard to achieve.. Need help.”
Yes Francy, you can have natural plant based protein shakes as a liquid meal or meal replacement (made with plant based milk such as almond, rice, soy, coconut, etc.) if all ingredients comply with the Daniel Fast. There is no reason for anyone to be protein starved while on the Daniel Fast, since there is Plenty of plant based proteins available to eat. Here are some protein rich foods to consider: All Nuts and Peanut butter (any nut butters), Whole grains, Legumes and Leafy Dark Green Vegetables, to learn more go to: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/healthnutrition/tp/protein.htm I hope this helps, Be Blessed!
” Thank you so much!
This will help me out alot 
God bless.
Are ramen noodles allowed in the Daniel fast?
Hi Tim,
Ramen noodles would not be allowed on the Daniel Fast for a multitude of “ingredients” reasons. You will quickly get used to the plea to READ THE INGREDIENTS to find out what is included in the packaged foods you purchase. You will also learn that most prepared foods are packed with sweeteners, fats and chemicals. I hope this helps!
Do I need to drink bottled spring water since tap water is filled with chemicals like floride and chlorine?
Hi Steve,
Spring water, distilled water or other pure waters are the best, however, tap water is good if that is all you have available.
I am doing a Daniel fast for lent but I just can”t focus to pray, Is it ok to fast without prayer, does praying in your head and not outloud count, can thoughts be prayers
Hi Annie,
Prayer is the power behind any fast. There are times to pray quietly (in your head). However, when focus is the issue at hand praying outloud is what will keep you going in the right direction. Not to mention that “speaking” outloud in where the release of faith takes place (Matt 17:20, 21:21, Mark 11:23). Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue (speaking outloud), And those who love it will eat its fruit.” So pray outloud, I encourage you to pray the word outloud, read scripture outloud and insert your name and the names of your family! Eph. 3:14-21, Deut. 28:1-14 Be blessed!
My wife and I have been on the Daniel Fast for 10 days, and I have to say we feel great!! I was doing some internet searching look for a faux meat that would be Daniel Fast approved and found the following. Gimmie Lean Beef Ingredients- Water, textured soy protein concentrate, textured soy protein, tapioca starch, natural flavor (from plant sources), soy sauce (water, soybeans, salt, wheat), less than 2% of: soy protein concentrate, cellulose gum, soy protein isolate, barley malt extract, dried onions, salt, soy milk powder, vital wheat gluten, torula yeast, yeast extract, molasses, sea salt, dried garlic, xanthan gum, soy flour, wheat starch.
Is this ok to eat??
Hi Terrell,
The list of ingredients look good with the exception of the sweeteners: barley malt extract and molasses which is to be avoided. I hope this helps!
Are we allowed to use lotions on our bodies during the fast? Kind of a weird question, but when I was reading it mentioned not annointing or using lotions. As a healthcare professional I wash my handles constantly and need frequent lotioning. This is my first fast and I am very excited. Thank you for any advice you have!
Hi Jaime,
Regarding Daniel not annointing himself – that was because he was mourning and the jewish custom for men at that time was to use oils and perfumes in their hair and on their bodies. Because Daniel was mourning, this would not be appropriate. So he was in simple dress and simple hygene. This is a different type of annointing . . so yes we use our lotions, all is well ! Be blessed on your fast!
Is it too late to start the fast? Most people I know are completing it, not starting…
Hi Crysta,
You can start the fast anytime throughout the year and as often that works with your schedule and as the Holy Spirit is directing you. The only reason you hear alot about an annual January Daniel Fast, is that this is when many churches choose to start their ‘Corporate’ church fast as a body. I hope this helps, Be Blessed on your Fast!
Is it common to have a headache during this fast? Can I take aleve for my headache?
Headache is one of the most common side effects of detox (from caffeine, sweeteners and additives). So, increase your water intake. These symptoms (headaches, fatigue, cramps, joint pain to name a few) will pass in a few days (3-7) OR more. The more extreme the buildup of the toxins in your body, the more extreme your symptoms and length of time to complete your detox. Meanwhile, flushing your system with water will ease your discomfort and speed up the detox process. As a general guideline, your body needs half its body weight in ounces of water per day, ie: 160lbs = 80 oz. of water daily. Add to that amount if you are experiencing any extreme conditions such as exposure to warm weather, cold weather, physical exercise or Detox. So, drink lot’s of Water! Also, eat plenty of Protein Rich Foods: All Nuts and Peanut butter (any nut butters), Whole grains, Legumes and Leafy Dark Green Vegetables, to learn more go to: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/healthnutrition/tp/protein.htm Take medication if needed. Be Blessed on your Fast!
Can I drink the drink called Naked its 100% juice smoothie?
The only drinking beverage on the fast is water. However, blended fruit and vegetable smoothies are allowed when used as a meal replacement. I hope this helps!
Hi Susan! Thanks for the info! One question though. I’ve found that most veggie protein “meat alternatives” have yeast as an ingredient. Should I stay away from these also?
Yes, avoid the ones with sweeteners and yeast in them. You may consider making your own. I hope this helps!
Can I eat avocado on the Daniel fast?
Yes, Avocados are allowed.
OK, I was looking through ingredients. My can of roasted peanuts has cottonseed oil. My vegetarian vitamins contain vegatable cellulose, vegatable magnesium slearate, and silica.
Hi Lare,
Cottonseed oil is best passed over in liu of a higher quality oil.
Vegetable cellulose: Substance derived from various plant fibres and used as a filler and disintegrant in the production of tablets. This sounds fine.
Vegetable magnesium stearate: The verdict is out, there is too much to research on this one. I would avoid it until you have a better understanding.
Silica- made synthetically from sodium silicate, and to be avoided. I hope this helps!
I’m just starting to look around the house for possible foods. I have not started yet, but is cinnamon allowed? This is going to be a huge challenge for me.
Hi Lare,
Yes, cinnamon that is additive free is fine. Be Blessed on your fast!
Hi,
I have been on the Daniel Fast for 2 weeks now but just discovered that I am not allowed to eat milk, eggs cheese and butter. I also discovered you are not allowed to eat sweets. Unfortunately, I have had eggs, milk, cheese and butter and bread. But I have not eaten any meat of any form or wine. Will my prayers still be answered. I am under a very strong spirtual attack and was told by a Bishop to participate in this fast but when I asked about the pleasant foods I was told it was okay to eat them expect meat and wine.
Many thanks,
Michelle
Hi Michelle,
God isn’t looking for perfection just hearts that are seeking Him! God is merciful and crowns your life with loving kindness and tender mercies (Ps. 103). Yes, of course He Will answer your prayers…John 14:14 -”You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it”. Be Blessed on your Journey!
I love this response! What truth.
I have fasted many times but this is my first Daniel Fast. I started last week not realizing I was supposed to do the Daniel Fast. Our 19 year old daughter has stage 4 bone cancer and watching her through all the surgerys and pain has been aweful, but the lord keeps reminding he is in control and has a plan. Last night as I was distraught over yet another procedure this morning the lor spoke to me and said I have this, do you trust me? Such simple words Do you trust me! The lord has prepared me already for this fast so today is my fist day. Just wished I could have got the book but this site will lead me.
Hi Brenda,
When you seek God through fasting and prayer you are posturing yourself for breakthrough… to hear and receive from the throne of God All He has for you! No wonder the enemy brings opposition! I once heard a message regarding “the level of the resistance against you, is a direct reflection of the magnitude of the promises you are about to enter into”…or something like that (my translation). God is faithful, He Will bring you through! He sent His Word and Healed your daughter! Standing firm in agreement on His word with you… in the Name of Jesus! According to Eph. 1:18, Jer 29:11, Deut 28:1-14 Be BLESSED!
Hi, I saw that meal replacements are ok. How about Slim-fast? Also, are tic-tacs allowed, sugar-free gum?
Hi Latasha,
A blended fruit/vegetable smoothie is allowed as a meal replacement. Slim fast has sweeteners and additives in the ingredients. Tic tacs and gums both have sweeteners and/or additives in them, so they are not allowed. I hope this helps!
Can i take my regular vitimins during the daniel fast. I use centrum and take one in the mornings?
Hi Shayne,
Yes you can take daily supplements, although we encourage you to find supplements that are free of sweeteners or man-made chemicals. I hope this helps!
Hi Susan! Are we suppose to take communion while on the fast? Thanks for your blogs,they really help!
Yes, always take every opportunity to take communion! Even better while Fasting! Coming together in remembrance of our Lord and the price He paid to redeem us is the very reason we fast, to be surrendered to Him and to know Him more fully! Be Blessed!
I am in the preparation stages of the fast. I really want to be completely prepared before starting. Is the guideline to eat 3 moderate meals and 2 snacks?
Hi Irene,
Yes, we recommend 3 moderate meals and 2 snacks..and Lot’s of Water! Be blessed!
God Bless You Susan,
1. Is wheat bread ok or no bread products at all?
2. Any recommendations on warm drinks?
3. I was told that 100% fruit juices are ok, do you agree?
Hi Ali,
1. Is wheat bread ok or no bread products at all?… No bread, due to the leavening agents (yeast, baking soda/podwer). Whole grain tortillas or flat breads are fine (no additives, no sweeteners, no leavening etc.)
2. Any recommendations on warm drinks?… Water with a slice or splash of lemon in it.
3. I was told that 100% fruit juices are ok, do you agree?… Water is the only drinking beverage on the fast, so no juices (unless you are doing a Meal Replacement fruit/vegetable blended smoothie). I hope this helps!
This is my first time on the Daniel fast and was wondering if TVP (textured vegetable protein) allowed.
Hi Rene,
Yes, it’s allowed on the fast as long as all the ingredients are consistent with the Daniel Fast Guidelines.
Be blessed!
Is white wine vinegar allowed in salad dessings?
Hi Rene,
Yes, just make sure all Ingredients comply with the fast. Be Blessed!
What about citric acid? It’s in lots of stuff.
Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
Citric acid is used as natural preservative in a lot of canned foods. It is considered natural because it is derived from plants, so it’s allowed on the Daniel Fast. Be Blessed on your fast!
can i have all natural honey or agave nectar or stevia?
Hi Esli,
There are no sweeteners of any kind allowed on the fast (natural or artificial), so no honey, agave nectar or stevia while on the fast. I hope this helps!
I bought an all natural sweetener named stevia. Is this allowed in the Daniel fast? Just started yesterday.
No. All sweeteners are not allowed on the Daniel Fast including honey, syrups, stevia, Splenda and agave nectar.
Be blessed!
Is it okay to use equal sweetner!!
Hi Gloria,
There are no sweeteners of any kind allowed on the fast (natural or artificial), so no equal allowed while on the fast. I hope this helps!
Can I have coconut milk instead of soy? I’m allergic to soy
Yes, or you can have rice or almond milk. You just want to read the list of ingredients to make sure they are not sweetened.
Be blessed!
I use a product called earth balance it has no dairy it is like s spread
Thank You
Bob Mitchell
Hi Bob,
This is “on the edge” since it’s a solid fat . . . you would be better to stick with olive oil or forgo the spread.
Hello….my husband and me are on Day 1 of the 21 day Fast. My question: What are some meals that are easy to take on the go? I know salads can travel pretty well, but any other suggestions? Sometimes, my schedule calls for long periods of time between meals, and I’d like to have something with me.
Hi Linda,
I take little zip-lock bags that have about 1/4 cup of almonds or walnuts in them. I also take rice cakes. You can make wraps with whole grain tortillas or have veggies with hummus.
I hope this helps!
Is goat cheese OK during the feast
The Daniel Fast is totally plant based, so goat cheese being made of animal protein would not be allowed. Plant based cheeses are allowed “If” All ingredients (no sweeteners, additives, leavening etc.) are Daniel Fast friendly. I hope this helps, Be blessed on your Fast!
Is agave nectar allowed on this Fast?
Is whey protein powder allowed on this Fast in breakfast smoothies?
Hi Robin,
There is no sweeteners of any kind allowed on the fast (natural or artificial). So Agave nectar is not allowed on the fast. Whey is dairy based, and there is no dairy allowed on the fast. However, you can get a plant based protein powder to use, like soy protein powder would be one option. I hope this helps!
Hello,
Is natural apple sauce allowed?
Thanks!
Hi Marlene,
If the applesauce ingredients are only apples . . . then it would be an excellent option. You can also look for “lite” canned fruit. Those are usually canned only the natural fruit juice of the canned item with no additional sweetener added. Be Blessed!
I have two questions. First, is 100% fruit juice ok to drink? I noticed that water is listed as the only beverage to drink, but then it says that you can eat all fruits. Second, if canola oil is ok and potatoes are ok then why is french fries not? I have read Daniel 10:3 and those things are not addressed exactly. It just says no pleasant breads, flesh, nor wine. Is french fries out because they are a desirable food?
Hi Jessica,
Water is the only drinking beverage on the fast. Fruit juices (100% natural, sweetener free) can be used in recipes, just not as a beverage.
The two foundational scriptures for the fast are Daniel 1:12 says, “Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.” Pulse is food grown from seed . . . corn, potatoes, rice and the like are all considered grown from seed.And…Dan. 10:3 – “I ate no pleasant or desirable food, nor did any meat or wine come into my mouth, and I did not anoint myself at all for the full three weeks”. Because of this, we eat no sweeteners of any kind, no deep fried foods (which is a desirable food) and no fancy desserts. This would be why baking potatoes with a light coating of oil is acceptable, and deep frying them in oil is not. I hope this helps!
Why are spices and salt allowed on the Daniel Fast if we are not supposed to be eating “pleasurable” foods?
Hi Rachel,
Thank you for your post! The two foundational scriptures for the fast are Daniel 1:12 says, “Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.” Pulse is food grown from seed . . . (corn, potatoes, wheat, rice and the like are all considered grown from seed). Seasonings, herbs and spices are plant based (grown from seed) and are allowed. Natural salt is a mineral and is also allowed. And, Dan. 10:3 – I ate no pleasant or desirable food, nor did any meat or wine come into my mouth; …Because of this, we eat no sweeteners of any kind, no deep fried foods and no fancy desserts. We also don’t use any stimulants such as “caffeine” or alcohol and “water is the only drinking beverage”.
So then, the Daniel Fast is a type of fast based on the combined fasting experiences of the prophet Along with typical Jewish fasting principles. To be clear, we are not trying to “re-enact” the prophet’s fast/time of mourning, but rather use the experiences to serve as guidelines for a partial fast that can be experienced by people today.
Entering a time of prayer and fasting is so much more than the food . . . yet it’s still a time when we want to experience submission and discipline. Giving up foods, bringing discipline over our fleshly cravings, and experiencing all those emotions and challenges that comes with that is part of the fast. Now, if we are merely substituting “yummy foods” for other “yummy foods” then we can miss the powerful lessons and the growth. On the other hand, the purpose of the Daniel Fast is much more than “to not enjoy food.” Otherwise we would all be eating some tasteless mush! With that said, The Daniel Fast is a spiritual experience, where we learn about disciplining and bringing into submission our flesh, restricting certain foods as well as eating very specific foods (thereby learning to eat and yes enjoy the right foods) all the while drawing nearer to God . . . keep that your aim and the food will be in its rightful place. I hope this helps, Be Blessed on your Journey!
Are can Vegetables allowed???
Hi Marc,
Yes canned vegetables are allowed, but you don’t want to choose canned vegetables in which sugar has been added as an INGREDIENTS. However, just about all food grown from seed has sugar in its nutritional analysis. This is different . . . it’s allowed. I use Kroger brand canned vegetables because most of their varieties have only the vegetable along with water and salt for the ingredients. Be blessed!
is it healthy ot fast for 40 days on the Daniel Fast
Hi Keke,
The Daniel Fast is a very healthy way to eat, and some do go on to make it a way of life with a few modifications. However, the fast is traditionally done for 21 days, some have gone for a longer length of time (up to 50 days), and some for shorter (7 days). This is up to your schedule… AND the leading of the Holy Spirit, so ask Him for His direction for you during this fast – Proverbs 3:6 He is so very Faithful, He will direct you! Be Blessed on your Fast!
Hello! I’m starting my fast for the month of August and my birthday is the 4th so I was wondering if a fruit tart would be ok?
Hi Catalina,
If you’re asking about a Daniel Fast friendly fruit tart, yes I think that can easily be created… and a fun project. Be Blessed on your Fast…and Birthday!
O.K. I read deeper. No pleasant foods and that means sugar. So no sugar at all. I got it. Starting my fast on Monday. Got my Bible in hand and already made the Bean and Rice Casserole and the Southwest Corn and Black Bean Salad so I am ready to go.
Excellent! Be Blessed!
Is apple cider vinegar and natures seasoning allowed? This is my first time doing a Fast of any kind and want to be successful.
Thank you
Hi Michele,
Apple Cider Vinegar is fine. I am not familiar natures seasoning, as long as there is no additives or sweeteners it would be fine. Be Blessed!
can i have fruit smoothies from fast food restaurant?
Hi Yesenia,
The Daniel Fast approved smoothies are made with very simple ingredients; some fruit/vegetables and maybe a splash of unsweetened soy milk or unsweetened juice. You may find it pretty hard to find something like this in restaurant’s. But if you do, ask lot’s of question to be sure. I hope this helps!
But you drink a smoothie so how can this be allowed.
Hi Will,
I also had to wrestle with this, but the distinction is about the type of food and not about the way it’s consumed. If one sips soup from a cup they are drinking the soup but it isn’t a beverage. The same is with a smoothie. They are considered liquid meals and even though they are usually consumed by drinking them, they are not a beverage.
If you feel for yourself the only thing you “drink” is water, then that’s all good. This is one of those gray areas, but after considering the intent of the scripture and looking at today’s eating patterns, we teach that liquid meals are allowed on the Daniel Fast.
I hope this helps.
Be blessed!
I HAVE BEEN VERY ENCOURAGED ABOUT THIS DANIEL FAST. I ATE A PIECE OF POULTRY ON MY SECOND DAY AND I AM FEELING REALLY BAD ABOUT THIS DO I START OVER OR CONTINUE ON? SINCERELY SUSAN
Hi Susan,
No, you don’t have to start over if you made a mistake on the Daniel Fast. This is a great reflection of our life with Christ. There are times when we make mistakes in our Christian walk, but we don’t have to start over. Instead, we stand up, seek the Lord’s wisdom and the neccessary adjustments, (repent change our ways) and move forward knowing we are forgiven! God is so good!
Can you take vitamins and is natural sea salt ok?
Yes you can take daily supplements, although we encourage you to find supplements that are free of sweeteners or man-made chemicals. Natural salt is allowed on the fast (such as Sea Salt or Kosher Salt). I hope this helps!
When searcing for Daniel Fast recipes online I have found several that include raw sugar, agave or honey. Are these items allowed?
Hi Christy,
There is alot of erroneous information out there regarding the Daniel Fast food list. With that said, there is no sweeteners of any kind (natural or artificial) allowed on the fast. I hope this helps!
Can I have almond milk instead of soy milk? I bought silk pure almond all natural almond milk. In the ingredients it has All natural evaporated cane juice, calcium carbonate, sea salt, locust bean gum, gellan gum, sunflower lecithin , d-alpha-tocopherol, natural vitamin e, zinc gluconate, vitamin a palmitate, riboflavin (b2) vitamin b12, vitamin d2. I was also reading the nutrition facts and it said sugars 7g, but in the ingredients it doesn’t say sugar is in it. I really need help! Thanks.
Yes, you can use unsweetened additive free almond milk (or other plant-based milks) during your fast with recipes and on cereal, (evaporated cane juice is a sweetener/sugar and to be avoided on the fast, so keep looking for a brand that is free of this). Also, the only drinking beverage on the fast is water . . . Be Blessed on your Fast!
Hi Susan,
I just read about The Daniel Fast in Women’s World magazine and am really interested in getting started. Having been recently diagnosed with osteopenia however, I’m wondering if it’s safe and something I should do. I’m 63 years old and am really feeling the need to do this.
Thank you,
Sally B.
Hi Sally,
Yes, Calcium rich foods are available in abundance on the Daniel Fast, you just need to know where to look. Here are some ideas: Plant based milks (Soy, Almond, Rice, Coconut, etc.) Sesame Seeds, Flax Seeds, Tofu, Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Green Leafy Vegetables (Turnip, Mustard, and Dandelion Greens, Collards, Kale). And let’s not discount our dried Herbs sprinkled throughout our foods, they do add up. For example: Dried Savory tops the list with 2132mg of calcium per 100g serving (213%RDA), that is 85mg (9% RDA) per tablespoon. It is followed by celery seed with 124mg (12%RDA) of calcium per tablespoon, dried thyme with 57mg (6% RDA) per tblsp, dried dill with 53mg (5% RDA) per tblsp, dried marjoram with 40mg (4%RDA) per tblsp, dried rosemary with 38mg (4% RDA) per tblsp, sage, sisymbrium, oregano, spearmint, parsley, poppy seed, chervil and finally dried basil. If you still question that you’re getting enough calcium in your foods consider adding a sweetener/additive free plant based supplement to your regime. I hope this helps, Be Blessed on your Fast!
Sorry if this has been asked before – are spices (salt & pepper, etc) allowed?
Hi Kelli,
Yes, all additives free seasonings, spices, salt and peppers is allowed. Be Blessed!
Is almond milk ok on Daniel’s Fast? It is a non dairy product. Also, is soy milk ok to have?
You can use unsweetened additive free plant based milks (almond, soy, rice, cocnut, etc.) during your fast with recipes and on cereal. But, the only drinking beverage on the fast is water . . . Be Blessed on your Fast!
Every product here in Australia even Soy Milk etc has sugar in it. Paul Newman’s own Classic has 2.9grms per 100 mls. I am going on a 60 day Daniel fast this time. I managed on a 21 day fast. Any suggestions.
Hi Dorothy,
Be sure that you are reading the INGREDIENTS (not the nutritional list) LIST, this is where you see what has been ‘added’ into the product (if sugar is listed here then avoid it). The Nutritional list gives you the combined nutritional break down of what is naturally derived and added into the food (so if sugar grams are listed ‘only’ here and Not in the Ingredients list, then it’s ok).
A plant based milk (Soy) that I like…WestSoy “Organic Unsweetened Original” Ingredients: Filtered water, whole organic soybeans. And, WestSoy “Unsweetened Vanilla” Ingredients: Organic soymilk (filtered water, whole organic soybeans) natural vanilla flavor with other natural flavors. Here’s the link: http://www.westsoy.biz/products/product/unsweet/1118.php
A prepared dressing that fits the Daniel Fast is Newman’s Own Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing. You can also make your own salad dressings and there are many recipes in the Daniel Fast Cookbooks http://www.daniel-fast.com
I hope this helps!
