A Sample Daniel Fast Meal Plan

A Sample Daniel Fast Meal Plan | Millennials with Meaning

Planning for a Daniel fast can be daunting. And it does take a bit of planning, since the list of approved foods is so limited. You can make it easier on yourself, though, by stocking up on certain groceries ahead of time and having a few recipes to rely on when you need them!

If you missed it, I shared my experience with a Daniel fast earlier this month, as well as some of the things I ate on my fast.

Today I want to outline exactly what I ate on my fast so you can get a realistic idea of what meals could look like during a Daniel fast. This list may look boring and repetitive (and I assure you, it was!), but, for better or worse, it’s what I ate.

You might prefer different foods than I do, and you’ll probably have some other ideas that I didn’t try, but you can use this template as a starting point to help you prepare for your own fast. Researching what others ate on their fasts before starting my own was what helped me the most!

Without further ado, here’s what I ate on my 21-day Daniel fast:
