About the Author

Dee Wallace

My name is Dee Wallace, I am a 31 years old stay at home mom who loves to experiment with new recipes. I started quietly. My parents taught me the basics of cooking when I was younger. I am far from being a professional chef. I'm just someone who loves spending time in the kitchen and has the patience to experiment. I hope you enjoy this book!

What Is Daniel Fast?

The Daniel Fast is a partial fast based on the Bible. It relies on the fasting experiences that Daniel the Prophet had, during which he only ate vegetables and drank water. From Biblical references, the Daniel Fast is vegan in nature, with some additional restrictions.

During the fast, Daniel only ate vegetables and fruits and drank water. This means that he ate no chemically altered, artificial or processed foods. Additionally, the diet did not include animal products, pleasant foods (like agave syrup, maple syrup or honey), alcohol and leavened bread (anything made with baking soda, baking powder, yeast etc).

Foods Allowed During The Fast

The Daniel Fast  details a number of foods that Daniel would have approved of while fasting. You should  make a list or print out this list and use it the next time you shop for groceries. The foods allowed in this diet include:

a) Fruits

These can be canned, juiced, dried, frozen or fresh. However, you should feel much better when you consume fresh fruit. If you decide to get canned food, ensure that they do not include preservatives or sweeteners.

Fruits include (but are not limited to) watermelon, tangerines, tangelos, strawberries, raspberries, raisins, prunes, plums, pineapples, pears, peaches, papayas, oranges, nectarines, mangoes, limes, lemons, kiwi, honeydew melon, guava, grapes, grapefruit, figs, cranberries, cherries, cantaloupe, boysenberries, blueberries, blackberries, bananas, apricots and apples.

b) Vegetables

These can also be canned, juiced, dried, frozen or fresh. With regards to canned veggies, follow the same rule that was discussed for canned fruits.

Vegetables include (but are not limited to) zucchini, yams, watercress, turnips, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, squashes, sprouts, spinach, scallions, rutabagas, radishes, potatoes, parsley, onions, okra, mustard greens, mushrooms, lettuce, leeks, kale, ginger root, garlic, eggplant, cucumbers, corn, collard greens, chili peppers, celery, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, beets, asparagus, artichokes and other kinds of greens.

c) Whole Grains

These include but are not limited to popcorn, rice cakes, whole wheat tortillas, whole wheat pasta, grits, barley, oats, quinoa, millet, brown rice and whole wheat.

d) Nuts and Seeds

Including but not limited to sesame, peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds and nut butters (including all-natural peanut butter).

e) Legumes

These can either be dried or canned. If canned, ensure that no sugars or preservatives were used. Legumes include white beans, cannellini beans, black beans, kidney beans, black eye peas, lentils, split peas, pinto beans and dried beans.

f) Beverages

During the Daniel Fast, you should only drink pure water such as distilled and spring water.

g) Others

You can also include salt (Himalayan or sea salt is preferred), seasonings, vinegar, soy sauce, spices and herbs into the fast.

Foods To Avoid During The Fast

The Daniel Fast also advises against some foods, including:

a) Meat and Animal Products

Avoid such meat and products like fish, poultry, pork, lamb and beef.

b) Dairy Products

You should also cut out eggs, butter, cream, cheese and milk from your diet.

c) Sweeteners

Additionally, the Daniel Fast advises against all sweeteners like cane juice, molasses, syrups, honey, raw sugar and regular sugar.

d) Leavened Bread

These include baked goods and Ezekiel Bread (anything that contains honey and yeast).

e) Processed and Refined Food Products

These foods include but are not limited to white flour, white rice, chemicals, food additives, artificial flavorings and any food that contains artificial preservatives.

f) Deep Fried Foods

During the fast, keep away from all fried foods that include but are not limited to corn chips, French fries and potato chips.

g) Solid Fats

These include lard, margarine, shortening and other foods that are high in fat content.

h) Beverages

While following the Daniel Fast, you should not drink alcohol, energy drinks, carbonated beverages, herbal teas, tea and coffee. Only water should be consumed.

Steps You Can Take To Make Your Life Easier During The Daniel Fast

The Daniel Fast is not as easy as it may seem. To ensure that you have an easier time while on this diet, consider the following:

a) Read Labels

You should always read labels before you buy any food product or beverage. Where possible, keep away from bottled, caned, boxed and packaged food. If you have to get these foods, always read the label. This is because the food you eat during the fast needs to be chemical-free and sugar-free.

b) Speak to a Health Professional

In case you have any issue with your health, get in touch with your health professional before you commit to the fast. Print out the list of foods you will be eating on the fast and let the health professional go through it.

c) Pray

As much as possible, pray during the fast. This is because the Daniel Fast is designed to improve the connection between your soul and God.

d) Ease Off

You can start by easing off foods that you feel you are addicted to (and those you feel you cannot continue without), including processed foods, sugar and caffeine. Try to do it a few days before you start on the Daniel Fast. Otherwise, you may experience such detox symptoms as nausea, cramping, headaches and the like.

e) Resist Temptation

As much as possible, resist the temptation to binge eat all your favorite foods the days before you start on the Daniel Fast. This is because binge eating shows that your body is stronger than your will (and spirit). Additionally, giving into temptation will make it harder for you to start on the fast because the fatty, animal and processed foods will create cravings that will be hard to counter during the fast.

f) Drink Water

Consider drinking lots of water prior to the fast. The water will flush toxins out faster and, in the process, make the transition period easier on you. If you are not used to drinking enough water, your body may be storing water. Water retention results into extra unwanted weight. This is why you need to consume a lot of water before and during the Daniel Fast. This will keep you hydrated.

Finally, once you start on the fast, you may experience some hunger pains. However, before you eat anything, try drinking some water. More often than not, you will find that the hunger pains will go away. This is because at times the body misinterprets signs of dehydration as hunger. Overall, after you are well into the fast, it will be hard to stop. You will notice a considerable loss in weight, an improvement in your general mood and a sharp decline in physical and emotional breakdowns.

Smoothies: An Ally To Your Health

Smoothies, these famous fruity drinks, are literally invading the shelves of our supermarkets. You can now find smoothie bars specifically dedicated to them. But what about these fruity drinks with a smooth texture? Are they interesting from a nutritional point of view?

Straight out of the United States, the smoothie is a delicious blend of fruit juice and mixed fruit, usually prepared in a blender. According to one's desires, the smoothie recipes vary infinitely. We can add crushed ice, spices (cinnamon, lemongrass...), milk, herbs... It is also possible to make smoothies with vegetables or combining fruits and vegetables (orange and carrot is also a great combination).

Some tips are tricks

- Make your smoothies at home, because commercially prepared smoothies very often contain added sugars or syrups. In addition, homemade smoothies are generally cheaper;

- Prefer fruits and vegetables that are in season or purchase them frozen;

- Avoid adding sugar because fruits already contain sugar naturally;

- Do not make too much in advance because vitamins tend to degrade rapidly;

- Let your imagination run wild by daring unusual associations such as peas, mint and cucumber or rhubarb and ginger.

The health benefits of green smoothies

In these fruit (60% maximum) and green leafy vegetables (minimum 40%) mixed drinks, there are only health benefits:

- Micronutrients galore: Vegetables contain minerals (yes, there is calcium in beet tops and dandelion!), vitamins (broccoli are packed with vitamin C), fiber, anti-aging antioxidants (they prevent our cells from oxidizing too quickly), amino acids (they are used to make proteins)... Hence the importance of varying your sources of greens to fill all those essential nutrients to the proper functioning of our bodies.

- A wealth of chlorophyll: the green pigment found in plants neutralizes toxins in the body and helps to cleanse the liver. By consuming chlorophyll, we provide all our organs and cells the needed oxygen for good health. An oxygenated body inside fight better against diseases.

- An alkaline effect: Our bodies are overloaded with acids because of food (meat, cheese, alcohol, soft drinks...), stress, lack of exercise. Plants, especially green leaves, are alkalizing. Drinking green smoothies then restores a balance that compensates for the acidifying effect of "junk food".

Tips for preparing green smoothies

- Prefer organic vegetables and fruit. Prepare your green smoothies so you can use your veggies and fruits, once washed, with their skin on and even their seeds (those apples seeds are packed with anti-aging polyphenols!). Limit yourself to a maximum of 3 fruits and between 1 and 3 varieties of greens, it is more digestible.

- 60% of fruit: their natural sugar softens the bitterness of vegetables. Bananas are a neutral base while giving a smooth texture. Perfect as kiwi, mango, pineapple, raspberries and grapes ... You be creative and invent vitamin cocktails.

- 40% of vegetables:  the greener the leaf is, the more nutritious it is. Start with vegetable that only have a slight taste: spinach, romaine lettuce... Otherwise, everything is good: all salad greens (lettuce, watercress, arugula, leaf, oak leaf ...), all tops (carrots, beets, turnips, radishes...). Do not forget to remove the thick stems of spinach or chard. You can also make your green smoothie with herbs: cilantro, parsley, mint, basil, tarragon ... Some even add spirulina, ginger, oilseed, flax seeds, nuts, dried fruits. But beware, it can make for a high calorie drink!

- A little water: the amount depends on the desired consistency. Use pure water, or why not coconut water, aloe vera juice, vegetable milk...

Smoothie In A Bowl

I like drinking a big smoothie from a glass for breakfast. But there are mornings when I want more crunch, when I feel like breaking the overnight fast with a spoon. In these cases, I turn my smoothie into a kind of creamy pudding, that I can embellish with nuts and sprouted grains. Here is the smoothie in a bowl!

Any smoothie recipe can be transformed into a smoothie in a bowl. The trick: add very little liquid. For a creamy texture, we also gain from choosing ripe fruits, with a soft flesh like bananas, mangoes or pears. On this basis, you can add any fruit, and why not some greens if you feel like it.

To properly blend your smoothie, I also recommend adding ground seeds like flax or buckwheat seeds, or chia seeds (you can use unground). They will thicken the smoothie, in addition to improve its nutritional value.

Finally for the crunchy side, you can sprinkle your smoothie in a bowl with seeds, nuts, fresh or dried fruit or sprouted grains (I like Ezekiel brand).

INGREDIENTS

1 ripe banana

1/2 apple

1/2 cup blueberries

1 sprig of kale (without rib)

1 tablespoon of chia seeds

1 or 2 dates

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Some almonds

1/2 cup sprouted grains (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Place all ingredients (except almonds and sprouted grains) in a blender. Start at low speed and then gradually increase to maximum speed and let it run for about 1 minute. Stop when you got a smooth texture. I use a Vitamix, a high performance mixer. It may be that the duration is different with another type of mixer.

2. Pour your smoothie in a bowl, then sprinkle with halved almonds and sprouted grains. It's ready!

Servings: 1

Raspberry Smoothie

I try to focus as much as possible organic foods, but for budget reasons (they are often more expensive), I do not always buy organic. However, if one has to make choices, it is good to rely on the list published by the U.S. environmental group EWG that list the levels of pesticides in fruits and vegetables.

If I tell you that, it is because organic raspberries explain my choice for this recipe. An extremely simple recipe that gives you a great looking pink smoothie to share with friends or eat alone quietly.

I chose to use coconut water in this recipe, simply because I had it on hand. If this is your case, I encourage you to use it also. Coconut water gives a slight but discreet sweet taste and provides electrolytes (potassium, sodium and magnesium), which is particularly interesting for rehydration after an intense workout. If not, fresh water will also work.

Another tip: You can find in the list of ingredients a frozen banana. To facilitate mixing, I advise you to chop your ripe bananas before freezing.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

1 frozen banana

1 cup fresh raspberries (organic, if possible!)

1 cup coconut water (or water)

1 Medjool date

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients in a blender on high speed, until you obtain a smooth texture.

Servings: 2 small servings or 1 tall glass

Sunny Orange Smoothie

This smoothie tastes like summer. It also taste like the famous creamsicle of our childhood. For something so healthy, you'll hardly believe it.

If you are lucky enough to have a juicer, I strongly encourage you to prepare your own carrot juice. The result will be healthier and tastier. But if you don't, store-bought carrot juice will do nicely. And if the idea of carrot juice in your smoothie does not delight you, you can do without. The result will probably be delicious, but the color will not be as pronounced. But know that it does not taste like carrot!

This recipes makes too much for you? Pour into Popsicle molds to make frozen treats. It would end a Daniel Fast meal beautifully.

INGREDIENTS

3 oranges, peeled raw (with the knife, the whole skin is removed, including the white skin all around)

1 cup mango cubes, frozen

½ cup of carrot juice, fresh or store-bought

¼ cup coconut milk

¼ cup coconut water (or simply use more coconut milk or fresh water)

2 Medjool dates

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients in blender.

Servings: 4 generous servings

Banana-Free Smoothie

Personally, I love bananas and I think they give smoothies a creamy texture, especially when used frozen. But some people (including my daughter) do not like this fruit. Here is one recipe for them, a smoothie that doesn't include banana, but is nevertheless delicious.

My challenge was to find a substitute for banana which would still give body to my smoothie. I finally chose two: mango and avocado. I used frozen mango, as alternating fresh and frozen fruit in a smoothie is always a winner: we gain in freshness and smoothness. Result: The color is a little pale, but quite pleasant and with a refreshing taste. I added cinnamon, but any spice of your choice will do. Anyway, my daughter approved!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup frozen mango

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/2 avocado

1/2 green apple

2 dates

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 cup water

2 Medjool dates

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients in a blender at high speed until a you obtain a smooth texture.

Servings: 2

Butternut Squash (or pumpkin) Smoothie

This recipe is sweetened with dates. If you do not like or you do not have dates on hand, you can easily replace it with a ripe banana.

I usually use unsweetened almond milk in my smoothies, but use the milk that you like: soy, coconut, to your taste! Adjust the amount of milk to the desired consistency: if you want a more liquid smoothie, use 2 cups of milk instead.

I often pour the second serving in a mason jar that I bring to the office for my morning snack!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup butternut squash or pumpkin puree (canned is fine, just make sure it's not sweetened)

6 or 7 Medjool dates or other dried dates, pitted

1 1/2 cup almond milk

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. cardamom

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

A few ice cubes

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients in the blender!

Servings: 2

Green Breakfast Smoothie

If you are just starting with green smoothies, I recommend spinach or even baby spinach, which is sweeter than kale. For your first green smoothie, a few leaves are enough. They add a little color, without much flavor. And little by little, you can add more and more until you use 2 large handfuls for 1 smoothie.

INGREDIENTS

1 banana

1/2 cup of frozen pears

1/4 cup cucumber

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 tbsp. chia seeds

1 date, pitted

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup water

2 handfuls of spinach

DIRECTIONS

1. Just mix everything in a blender at high speed until you obtain a smooth texture. Beware, it can become so addictive!

You can find orange blossom water in most grocery stores or in the international food aisle. If you can't find it, you can still make the smoothie, it is also delicious without.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup frozen mango

1 banana

Avocado And Berry Green Smoothie

What better way to start a beautiful sunny day with a creamy smoothie creamy, fragrant with freshly picked local strawberries. Technically, green smoothies are made from a ratio of 60% fruit and 40% leafy greens, all that stirred in a blender until smooth. Of course, this rule is not set in stone. Feel free to adjust the proportions according to your desires and availability, while ensuring a good amount of greenery. Green smoothies are a wealth of chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants and essential for the oxygenation of our cells. An oxygenated body fights better against diseases.

If you want to evolve and vary your greens, do not hesitate to use kale, Swiss chard, arugula, watercress, herbs such as parsley, cilantro, basil, turnip greens, radish greens, and carrot greens, etc.. As you can see, the combinations are rather endless. So, experiment to discover your favorite blends.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 ripe avocado

1 ripe banana

About 1 cup of frozen berries

1 large handful of fresh blueberries

20-25 strawberries, depending on the size and taste

1-2 large handfuls of baby spinach

Small amount of water, if desired, but really optional

DIRECTIONS

1. Place ingredients in a blender and mix. There are some blenders where it is best to start with frozen fruit while others work better if you start with the softer or room temperature fruit first. Go according to your mixer. Make sure, however, to mix together until a you get a creamy and smooth mixture.

Servings: 1

Celery Green Smoothie

Unlike squeezed juices which should be drunk within an hour to get the maximum benefits, smoothies can be kept two to three days in the fridge. Perfect for lunch!

Kale has a more pronounced flavor than spinach. If you have never added greens to your smoothies, I recommend you start with the spinach. You do not taste it at all! I always have frozen bananas in my freezer. I buy a large package of bananas and, when ripe, I peel, cut into 4 and freeze on a baking sheet covered a Silpat. When they are frozen, I transfer them to a freezer bag. Frozen bananas are the easiest way to improve the texture and taste of smoothies!

INGREDIENTS

2 cups unsweetened vegetable milk (soy, almond, etc.)

1 serving of plant based protein powder

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

2-3 handfuls of kale or spinach

2-3 handfuls of chopped celery

1 frozen banana, chopped

2 handfuls of frozen mango cubes, chopped

Creamy Avocado Green Smoothie

The smoothie that I present to you here contains avocado, cucumber, romaine lettuce, kale, banana and lemon. The flavor of the lemon and banana stand out because the other ingredients have a more subtle flavor. Cucumber, romaine and lemon make this smoothie refreshing while avocado and banana make it creamy. Moreover, avocados are a delicious addition to smoothies with their delicate flavor. They make extra-creamy smoothies, I would even say velvety.

In addition to providing flavor and fabulous texture, all these ingredients are good for our health and help protect against the flu. Avocados are rich in antioxidants and carotenoids, in addition to stabilize the blood sugar. Cucumber is a good source of minerals (potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron...). Romaine lettuce is particularly rich in omega 3, vitamin C and vitamin B. Kale is an excellent source of vitamin K, A and C. Bananas contain potassium and lemon is especially rich in vitamin C in addition to being excellent for detoxifying the body.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup cold water

1/4 of an avocado

1/2 English cucumber

3 romaine lettuce leaves

A handful of baby kale, or a leaf of regular kale

1/2 banana

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

DIRECTIONS

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.

Servings: 1

Orange And Cardamom Smoothie

INGREDIENTS

4 oranges, peeled and cut into wedges

1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

DIRECTIONS

1. In a blender, combine the orange segments, orange juice, banana and orange zest. Mix 30 seconds at medium speed.

Chocolate Mint Smoothie

Mint has a relaxing effect on the digestive system, so it is ideal for digestion problems due to stress, but release may increase the discomfort associated with acid reflux problems. It is recommended that people suffering from gastric reflux avoid mint in large quantity.

Mint is also rich in vitamin K, essential to a proper blood coagulation and contributes to good bone health. However, it is recommended that people taking anticoagulants avoid major sources of vitamin K in the diet.

If you prefer to avoid large amounts of mint, you can make the same smoothie, but using only 5-6 leaves of fresh mint and adding a handful of spinach. You can still enjoy the fresh mint flavor that blends so well with chocolate.

INGREDIENTS

1 banana (frozen, ideally)

1 1/2 cups cold water

2 tbsp. cocoa powder

2-3 dates, pitted

A handful of mint leaves (I counted 50 leaves!)

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients in a blender until the smoothie is perfectly homogeneous. Serve as is or over ice.

About half a glass of water (start with less and add to taste)

DIRECTIONS

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and liquefy. Add a little water as necessary.

Pineapple Basil Smoothie

It had been a while since a green smoothie was so warmly welcomed by my kids! The mixture is surprising, the basil flavor is present, but they loved it and I was in heaven, a pure delight! I can not recommend enough the pineapple and basil mixture, whether in salads, carpaccio or in smoothies!

INGREDIENTS

2 cups cubed fresh or frozen pineapple

A handful (I used about 1 cup) fresh basil leaves

2 cups baby spinach leaves

1 small banana

about 1 cup water

DIRECTIONS

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and let it run until you get a really creamy smoothie. Use more or less water according to your preference. You can also serve over ice!
