The Daniel Fast eating plan is like a vegan diet with more restrictions. The only beverage is water. So the primary foods are fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. There are no sweeteners on the fast — and no processed foods or chemicals.
Clearly, the purpose of the fast is to draw closer to God. During your fast you will want to focus your time with God for a specific purpose or to gain His advice, intervention or direction in your life. Again, check out our website where we are able to be more specific about the Daniel Fast instructions.
What about natural peanut butter and gluten free rice cakes? Also, why is tea not allowed if left unsweetened? That would be considered natural/plant based, no?
Nicole,
Yes, Unsweetened additive free peanut butter is allowed on the fast. The Ingredients list should be very simple: Peanuts and maybe some salt. One peanut butter we can recommend for the fast is Adam’s 100% Natural Peanut Butter.
Yes, gluten free rice cakes would be fine, make sure the ingredients are free of additives and sweeteners as well. Try Lundberg Brown Rice Cakes, Ingredients: Whole grain brown rice, sea salt. Here’s a link for you:http://www.lundberg.com/products/rice_cakes/Organic_Brown_Rice_Cakes_Lightly_Salted.aspx
One of the two foundational scriptures for the fast are: Daniel 1:12 “Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and “water” to drink.” This is why we drink water only and although plant based, there is no coffee or tea on the fast. I hope this helps, Be Blessed on your fast!
Thank you. I am trusting God to renew my mind so that I can develop a deep and intimate relationship with him. Please pray with me.
Is tomato sauce with citric acid okay?
Yes, 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!

Is Ezekiel bread allowed on the fast?
Leavening, including yeast, is not allowed on the Daniel Fast, also there are not sweeteners on the Daniel Fast. Because of this typical Ezekiel bread is not allowed, however the Ezekiel Whole Grain Tortillas are. Be Blessed!

Hi April,
The Daniel Fast is totally plant based, so no yogurt or eggs on the fast. Salad Dressing: A favorite prepared salad dressing is Newman’s Own Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing, all the ingredients are acceptable for the Daniel Fast. Also, you can make your own dressings easily and quickly. There are many recipes in the Daniel Fast Cookbooks at http://daniel-fast.com/store.html Be blessed!
