Are we allowed to eat plantains b/c they come straight from trees
All plantains are allowed on the Daniel Fast, just make sure they are not deep fried. Be Blessed!
Hello, I am on the Daniel fast for the first time. I would like to know if I can use Braggs apple cider vinegar?
Yes, you can. I also like the Aminos to use instead of soy sauce. By the way, it’s a Christian-owned business.
Be blessed!
Why is Newman oil and vinegar allowed? Isn’t vinegar on the foods to avoid?
Hi Lourdes,
The process to make vinegar as well as wine is fermentation. However, fermentation isn’t the issue with wine, it’s the alcohol and what it does to the mind. There is another book out there that gives the reasoning that since wine is fermented then all other fermented products are not allowed . . . but that isn’t the issue for the Daniel Fast. It has to do with the purpose of wine and the alcohol content, so vinegars including red wine vinegar is allowed on the fast. In fact, Newman’s Own Oil and Vinegar salad dressing is THE only Daniel Fast recommended prepared salad dressing on the fast. I hope this helps!
Can i do french fries using olive oil? Please guide..Thank you and God bless..
bem
Yes, you can lightly coat some french fry cut potatoes with some oil, season and bake them for some baked fries.
confused as wether agave nectar or honey allowed hae read several different replys which is correct
Hi Jolette,
There is no sweetener of any kind (Natural or Artificial) allowed on the fast, that would include Agave Nectar and Honey. I hope this helps!
I was not sure where is the best place to post this but wanted to share a couple recipes.
I purchased all ingredients at Trader Joes.
Spaghetti Squash
Cook 1 large spaghetti squash (microwave is fine) scoop out seeds and spread spaghetti squash evenly in bottom of (approx. 11×7) glass pan/dish. Take 1 jar (approx. 36oz) of traditional marinara sauce (make sure ingredients do not include parmesan or sugar) and pour evenly over spaghetti squash. Shred 2 blocks (or 16 oz) of SOY mozzarella cheese and sprinkle evenly over top. Place dish in broiler for approximately 5 minutes to heat through and lightly brown top of cheese. YUM….one of my favorites
Yams
Dice sweet potatoes (with skin) to quarter size pieces (or desired size) and place on cookie sheet greased with olive oil. Also lightly coat potatoes in olive oil and dress with preferred seasonings (i.e. Rosemary, sea salt, garlic powder). Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes (depending on oven) at 425 degrees. Stir/flip every 5-10 minutes to avoid burning. When slight browning is noticed, sprinkle a couple hands-full of raisins over top and bake for 5 more minutes.
Snack
Mango peach salsa & fresh avocado w/ Sea salt on brown rice-cakes.
Praise God for amazing food!!

Hi Juanita,
You can see the list on this blog or you can go to http://www.daniel-fast.com and have the list sent to your email address.
I am starting my New Years Daniel Fast tomorrow! I am stationed in Afghanistan and I don’t have much access to the foods I will need, but I have complete faith that the Lord would not have led me on this fast if He didn’t know that I would be sustained. Please pray for me! Thank you!
praying for you trinitys mommy – your fast is probably over by now, but still praying for your safety. thank you for your service to our country and our freedoms.
I will also be praying for you Trinitysmommy. As I read this my eyes filled with tears. Thank you for your service and my our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you as you walk in obedience to the call to fast. What He brings you to He will bring you through.
Hello Susan,
I am on my 11th day of ffasting. I am really enjoying I am getting closer to members of my church and reading my Bible more. I just have one problem dressing for my salads. I have tried the one in your book, something keeps upsetting my stomach.Please hel I love my salads.
Hi Charlotte,
I am not sure what could be upsetting your stomach since you didn’t mention the dressing you made . . . and are you sure it’s the dressing? There are so many ways to dress salads. One of my favorite is just fresh lemon juice. I also make dressing with lemon juice, olive oil and herbs.
You should be able to make a dressing that is similar to those you use when not fasting. Even if you usually eat dairy-based dressings, you can make some using soyannaise and they are very similar.
Be blessed on your fast!
another great recipe using quinoa:
Quinoa Pilaf
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1 cup canned lentils, rinsed
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 quart vegetable broth
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and saute 5 minutes, until onion is tender. Mix in quinoa, lentils, and mushrooms. Pour in the broth. Cover, and cook 20 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat.
Thanks so much, Terry! Seems like a great addition to the meal plans.
Be blessed!
well just to say thanks to the lord for everyone who have prayed with us, always pray without ceasing

on day 8 of my fast is yeast allow any of foods we eat
No, as leavening is not allowed on the Daniel Fast.
This is my second day on the Daniel fast can you use agave nectar.It is 100% pure sweetener not additives or preservatives. What kind of dressing can we put on a salad. Everything seems to have sugar or either milk.
Hi Bertha,
Agave nectar is great BEFORE the fast or AFTER the fast . . . but it is not allowed during the fast as no sweeteners are allowed even if they are natural.
Regarding salad dressings, you can make your own with oil, vinegar, lemon juice and herbs . . . or on I enjoy is Newman’s Own Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing. It has ingredients that comply with the Daniel Fast Guidelines. The Guideines are available at http://www.Daniel-Fast.com.
I’m confused about “cane juice”…. Is it ok? It’s in SOY MILK and TOFU???
Thanks
No, cane juice is a marketing term for sugar . . . it’s sugar from sugar cane before it’s been evaporated and granulated. You can find unsweetened soy milk and tofu without it.
All together now . . . READ THE LABELS . . .
I am starting the 21 day Daniel fasting today as many churches are. My question is besides the food products that we are allowed to eat, are we allow to eat like tropical natural food such as casava, plantains, green bananas, etc. Thank you for all the help in advance. God bless you and all you do.
Natalie,
All plain fruits and vegetables are allowed on the Daniel Fast. I hope this helps!
Be blessed!
Is yogurt allowed on the Daniel Fast?
No yogurt on the Daniel Fast as it’s a plant-based eating plan.
Hello, Susan! I was so blessed to come across your blog. I’m equally blessed to learn of the number of people across the country, and I’m sure around the globe, who are seeking the face and hand of God in a concecrated way. I’ve been thoroughly enlightened and feel equipped to move forward on this journey. Thank you for the suggestion of keeping a prayer journal during this time.
The Lord’s blessings remain upon you!

Pastor Dan
I am excited about what God is doing in my life during this fast. Today I made a vegetable and barley stew with homemade whole wheat crackers from your recipe book. They were very good, too. God Bless You–this has been a wonderful source of information for me.
Congratulations! to those of you who have decided to adhering to the scriptures Present your bodies as a living sacrifice unto the lord! Praise God! I compiled different information that I found on the Web this morning and I will give a copy out to those who will embark on this holy fast. I’m grateful I found your site through a link from another site keep up the great work to the Glory of God.

I made the casserole we had at Alpha, but I modified it a bit with olives that had been stuffed with almonds, and also added a bit of vinegar to it which gave it a real “bite”.
Kindly request you to send me the Daniel list of fasting. This will enable me to start off my fasting.
Your immediate responses on this issue will be appreciated.

Hi, I made the Bean curry and rice and it was wonderful. I adapted it to work with my schedule and did the following. I sauteed in a crock pot on high to start. I added everything in order but used 1 cup of lentil and diced toms instead of crushed. I also added carrots scrubbed and chopped. I used a tbs of sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Finally, I cooked on low overnight for 6 hours. I added a bag of frozen peas in the last hour. I served for dinner with hot brown rice.
