These healthy Daniel Fast dinner recipes might be just what you need to jumpstart your new year. All these recipes make a great meal for lunch or dinner while you are on the fast.
My husband and I do a one-week Daniel Fast every year in January, but we enjoy eating that way so much that I incorporate many Daniel recipes into our rotation the rest of the year, too.
During this fast, you will experience a more natural way of eating, similar to a paleo diet. The recipes are heavy on fruits and veggies, no meat, and very little processed food.
When you’re finished with this fast, you’ll feel healthier and more energetic. You only have to get a little more creative with the foods you can eat.
Don't save these Daniel Fast dinner recipes just for the fast. They really are so delicious, I'm hoping at least a few of these super healthy recipes will be on your regular rotation, too.
The Book of Daniel taught us many things, but one of the most important was to give thanks and appreciation through fasting. You can learn more about the spiritual aspect of this fast by checking out Susan Gregory's book, The Daniel Fast.
Everyone does get caught up in the food part of the fast. I get it, because if you are not prepared with the foods you can eat, you will inevitably revert to the foods you are not supposed to eat, like dairy, white flour, eggs, and meat.
Those things you regularly reach for in the fridge will be what you reach for when you're hungry. That won't happen if you plan ahead of time. I'm hoping these Daniel Fast lunch and dinner recipes will help you be ready.
The best part is, the eating portion of the fast does not have to be difficult. There are plenty of Daniel Fast lunch and dinner recipes, which means following the fast for every meal of the day can be easy and delicious.
